A Question of Goals
Today, in keeping with my second half of April goals, I finished my second pansy on “Stiefmütterchen.” I stitched it up in five hours, but now I will be putting it away for a while because my SAL buddy has something on a deadline that needs her attention.
For the rest of the week I will be stitching on “Passing Admirers” and hope to get at least five hours in on it before May 1. If I do, then I will have completed my second half of April goals with flying colors. In fact, I will be super proud of myself if I get in the 5 hour rotation because I will have completed my goals in addition to prepping my EMS RR border (which was NOT on my goal list).
And because today is Wednesday, it is also time for the Stitching Blogger’s Question and that is:
Do you set stitching goals?
Personally, I never thought I needed to set stitching goals. However, I work on a “screaming rotation” and one day a couple of weeks ago I realized that while I love doing a “screaming rotation,” I wasn’t really making much progress on my big projects. I decided the only way that I would ever get them done was to set some goals. And so I did.
Currently, I have one “running goal” and that is to stitch 90 minutes per day. I also have one long-term goal and that is to finish “Passing Admirers” by September (one year since I started it). Starting with May I will also be making monthly goals. (In fact, I was just thinking that I should sit down and decide on them tomorrow!)

I set goals of what I want to make, but no time factors. I just started on my first cross stitch project in years, I just want to do a little bit every night.

Stitching Blogger’s Question of the Week
Do you set stitching goals? I do, and I find it helps a lot with keeping me up to date. I’ve got my goals listed here in my blog (here’s an example) and also over on the WIP

I’ve replied in my blog. I love those pansies

I found your blog through Becky and joined the Yahoo group for stitchers Blogging questions.
I set a yearly goal and then use that list to work in my monthly goals. I have pretty much stuck to the list.

Do you set stitching goals?
Not really. I tend to stitch one project at a time and continue it until it’s finished. Because of that, I don’t have any rotations that need to be managed. On the other hand, I do try to stitch every day. I suppose that could be considered a goal….
