Anchors

I like the stripes better than the solid red...

My completed (or not quite completed) blocks...

After laying this out, I need to add some sashing between blocks, finish my mariners comapss and make 4 more stars... And make my 2 lighthouse blocks.

Current Progress and Planning Ahead

Happy Canada Day!

Current Stats
As it is halfway through the year, I thought I'd figure out where I was on my sewing goals...

Yardage In	27.6m
Yardage Out	53.9m
Number of Projects Completed	76
Mending or Alterations	44

Of the Yardage in is 28m given to me from my mom and mil. So I figure I've done really well on my fabric budget this year only purchasing 9.6m!

Planning Ahead
I have a few projects on the go that I need to finish before moving forward with any large projects. The following are items that I have cut out or waiting to go:

• Alter a dance costume to swimsuit
• OD 3/09 #1 top in size 92
• OD 3/09 Bert shorts
  
• Triangle Bag for my mom (it was her 2008 birthday present)
  
• Remake of a Ladies XL Tshirt into a Nightie
• Embroidery on a RTW Sweater for my Mom
• 2 Handprint Quilts for Father's Day (ok I know that's past, but my dad is out of town)
  

Then I'd really like to get ahead on holiday giving this year - and yes I mean starting to sew for Christmas! I'd like to sew Quilts for each kid! So that is 3 Quilts to start and finish this year...

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2009!

Sewing Stats for 2008:

Items Completed	170
Projects In Progress	5
UFOs Completed	5
Mending & Alterations	30

Yardage Totals IN: 68m OUT: 137.1m

My 2008 Goals

• Use more fabric from my stash than I buy or receive!
  YES! Used 69.1m more than I bought. The stash is still large, but I am gaining some control on it.
  
• Don't create anymore UFOs and finish some of those filling my sewing room.
  MOSTLY! One of my current projects is getting close, but I just haven't had the time to finish it and its been months... I did complete 5 UFOs, one that was over 10 years old.
  
• Sew for myself as well as my family
  YES! Most months I sewed something for me.
  
• Complete at least one project for my husband
  NO! Oops... didn't sew anything for him - so sorry... still thinking of a project.
  
• Organize my traced patterns
  SOMETIMES! I get organized, then I trace & use many more patterns and don't get them put away
  

Goals for 2009

• Sew mostly from Stash
• Sew for me
• Start Christmas sewing before Nov 1st

Stats for 2008

With only one month of sewing left in the year, I thought I should total my stats for this year... So far I have used 110.2m but bought 60m. I have completed 135 projects including 4 UFOS, and as of the end of November only had 4 projects on the go, although one is quickly becoming a UFO. Hopefully after Christmas I will finish the black Highland Dance Vest that is 50% complete.

Looking back at my goals set in my first post of the year, I haven't done too bad... The only thing I've failed miserably at is organizing all my traced Ottobre patterns. And I haven't sewn for my husband. Doubt I'll get something sewn before Christmas for him, but maybe...

Tonights projects completed:

• 3 baby/toddler boy hats

Happy 2008!
