My quilting thoughts and inspirations sprinkled with a glimpse of life down on the farm

A post a day and a monthly goal

OK, so I've done something crazy!!
I've signed up to a blog post a day challenge throughout December!
Crazy because —
— it's a busy time of the year (enough craziness without adding to it huh?!)
— I have enough trouble blogging once a week let alone once a day

BUT
Challenges motivate and inspire. They push you outside your comfort zone. By signing up, they make you accountable.
AND, if I can get through the 31 days of December, blogging every day, I can accomplish anything!(hehe, within reason!)
Cheryl Sleboda is the host of The 2019 31 day Blog Writing Challenge, and the list of other participants is *here*.

I promise not to blog about the one seam I've sewn that day and the next and the next (or have endless posts of very cute grandies) but I know I will struggle to keep it varied and interesting — if you ever have any questions or ideas for me, please let me know. Cheryl has also put together a prompt list for us for when we are struggling :-)

I haven't joined in with the One Monthly Goal party for a while but to finish the year on a good note, I'm signing up again this month. This is hosted by Patty of Elm Street Quilts with a link up now, and at the end of the month when we have, supposedly, completed our goal.
Before I went off on holiday I had got back into my Country at Heart Alphabet stitcheries and now I need to complete only three more and they'll all be done.
Traced and ready to go, the stitcheries went to the USA with me, and came back again, still carefully packed in their bag and without seeing the light of day!
I am hoping to get them done by the end of the year month.
'til next time,
happy stitches

  8. I am glad you are doing the challenge--love all your posts!!
    now --me--I do know that I need to post more often than once a week--though I have tried to do 2x's a week--but that just doesn't seem to happen these days--but now it is because I am truly busy with life!!! So I am hoping to do better in the future--time will tell!!
    good luck--luv, di

  11. I have the opposite problem from yours. I spend so much time writing about my quilting projects that I don't get much actual quilting done! I need to have a Get In the Sewing Room Every Day challenge for December. Good luck with your blogging goal and enjoy that well-traveled hand stitching project!

  15. Good luck with the challenge Raewyn, I would be happy to see the farm and the grandies most days 😁. I thought me trying to do a block a day for the month was enough of a challenge!! Your stitcheries look lovely. Looking forward to your posts.
