When I typed the title for the post, I had to check the calendar. Yes there are only 2 weeks and 2 days left in 2024! December always seems to pass at the speed of light. It was a challenging week on the finding time to stitch front with my mom being here for a few days. But I managed to eek out my 15 minutes somewhere during the day.
- 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
- 15 minute days/Dec = 14/14 days
- 15 minute days/2024 = 349/349 days
- Success rate = 100%
I've learned how to sneak in those 15 minutes each day even when I'm busy. Can I keep it up for 2 more weeks? Not sure, but I'm certainly going to try.
No sewing room organization this week. Mom can't do stairs, so I didn't want to be where she couldn't hang out. So I stayed downstairs and worked on the binding for String Lights while she was here.
I've reached the time of year where the holiday prep is almost overwhelming. This picture of Grad Girl's kitty reminded me that one should take some time to just chill and enjoy the season.
How are you doing with your holiday prep, stitching and chilling?

Grad Girl's sweet kitty says it all. I bought a faux fur blanket to spread under our tree, and we have at least one of our 5 cats under the tree most of the day. I'm getting little done, but I'm enjoying the decorations.
Just do what you can do. I've learned nobody in the family expects perfection except yourself.
Holiday preparations get overwhelming for me too. I'm trying to do what I can and not get stressed about it. Good luck staying at 100% until the end of the year. I have faith that you can do it!
So true!
On the one hand, I want to say - yes, you have to make your sewing goal for the whole year, and on the other, yes, you should definitely take time to enjoy the holiday season! Maybe stitch that binding in front of the Christmas tree? :) I'm glad you took time to hang out with your mom.
we are decorated and I will do only a little baking this week - the girls will be here Saturday and will do baking and early Xmas with them then
Wonderful success rate, I hope you will find a way to keep it the next two weeks. I haven't found the Christmas decorations yet, I know they are somewhere in the house...
Yea for continuing your 100% stitching days. AMAZING!
You have done well on the stitching front this year, wish I could say the same though stitching hasn't been too bad just finding the time to blog has been the issue. Christmas is always small and we weren't sure if Mo would be working or not Christmas Day, she is the main cook so that would have put a bit of stress on the day but she isn't so all good.
Hi Kate, love the chilling cat photo! My cat photo (if I had a cat) would be one chasing its tail! I'm sure what needs to get done by next week will be done...probably, or it wasn't meant to be :-) Take care and good luck - keep stitching!
