July Goals

I know I'm already behind on commenting & replying to comments, but I'm getting all tied up in angsty knots about both personal (minor) and current (WTF, everybody) events, so I'm going to cope by talking about stitching.

I didn't set any stitchy goals for May or June, though I did manage to make progress on things I want to get done, for the most part. But I feel like I'm losing momentum on a couple of things, so, stitchy goals for July:

1. Stitch something for the Smalls SAL Stitched AND framed.
2. Complete Joyful World SAL "June" FINALLY omg.
3. Complete Joyful World SAL "July"
   For some reason I've decided I want to catch up, and at least complete each month before the month is over. IDK. Well, it's July 22 now and I haven't even started. So. This is not happening.
4. Make progress on Happy Halloween Having a stitch-along with a friend tomorrow (Saturday), plan to work on this. & Village Square Once I finished "June" I decided I NEEDED to work on something besides Joyful World. Was lovely to pick up Village Square again.
5. Start this as my next travel/take-to-work project: Started, but can't take it to work anymore. The fabric I'm using requires BRIGHT direct light, preferably sunlight. Ugh. So I need to kit up another take-to-work project. :(

Japanese Hiragana Sampler by Modern Folk Embroidery

I'm going to stitch it on a hand-dyed lightish blue fabric, with white characters and maaaaaaybe dark blue flowers/flower bands.

How is everyone else doing? Hanging in there?
