Full Moon - Second Month

As I drove to work this morning under the light of the full moon I thought of all I accomplished this month. I'm happy about the progress I made this month. So here is my WIPocalypse update.

Finished
1. Swirly Sampler 
Yes, it's done - the HD post is here but to summarize
Last month




This month



I have the frame picked out and am just waiting for the framer to assemble it. I took advantage of a annual sale offered by one of the local framers so it'll be at least 2 weeks until I see the frame and get all the parts put together.

2. On Grandmother's Quilt
I haven't done a Happy Dance post for this, but it is complete and framed

3. Rosebud Lullaby
Yep - same scenario as On Grandmother's Quilt, complete and framed, but have to do the Happy Dance post.

In Progress

I'm happy with the progress on this one. I would love for this to be done this month, but that might be ambitious.

2. Blackwork Sampler
Also pleased with the progress on this one. I started to work on it February 2nd so in a little less than a week this is the progress I've made.

Ideally I would like to complete the stitching by March 7th. At this time this looks doable.

No Progress
1. My Way Canvas Work
2. Once Upon A Time

New Starts
1. "M" is for Mother - I have now purchased the pattern and the accessory pack and still need to pick and buy fabric.
2. Fairy Moon - no news
3. Lost in the Garden - no news
4. Victorian Garden - no news
5. Nothing new has caught my eye and demanded to be started this month. However this is a new month.

I'm quite pleased with the progress I've made this month and hope to continue it. I've been thinking about why I think this is working for me. Creating the list has given me focus. Having no expectations means that I'm not rebelling. Then I also like the fact that I'm reaching my goals so hopefully that will be a high that will spur me on the continue with the progress I've been making.
