And here we go for the final lineup for the April Goals. In my last post you saw a few of the goals already posted.
Here's Erica Michael's Serenity Prayer Petite...cept'in I didnt make it petite. I made it BIG! I stitched it with the recommended DMC and stitched it on some old 18ct Fiddler's cloth I had laying around. I wanted to be able to see it and read it every day. I don't say a lot of prayers, but this one just makes sense. It also has special meaning for my husband since he's on his 4th year being sober. This prayer is a big part of his program. This summer is gonna be big for him; 4 years sober and graduating with his BS in Information Technologies! Yay husband!
Here's my start of my first embroidery I have done since I was about 10 years old. Below is the original picture that I am using as inspiration. It's mine and my husband's feet in front of the fire on one of our favorite vacations. I need to figure out how to do the log and flames. I think I am going to leave out the fireplace, but I may put in something for the ottoman. It's all something I will have to figure out in the next month or two. I cant decide if I will put this on my May goals or not. It may have to be a June goal to finish up. I don't know how much time I will have in May for this project. I have a couple of big ones planned.

I know it's not May yet, but I am going to go ahead and put up my May Goals now.
1. Make progress on Growth Rings
2. Finish my desk (it's been in the process of being refinished for 3 years now. I think it's time to finish it!)
3. Make the chair cover for my husband. (This is another finishing project that's been sitting around for quite a while.)
4. Do something small. (This, of course, is my gimme goal. I can do anything I want!)
I think that's all I am going to set up for this month because I have a long week of work happening the week of Mother's Day. My family has 2 exhibits set up for the Maker Faire and that'll take up a whole weekend. My daughter is moving out so I'll need to set up our living room back into a living room. And last, but not least, an old friend is coming into town for a weekend and we are planning a family dinner and maybe a bbq at the beach. Wow...that's a pretty packed month for us! I may have planned too many goals!
I was wondering if you finished growth rings? I am trying to find out how many skeins I need! Thank you!
