atherleisure | Weekend Goals

I did astonishingly well on my goal list for the weekend. Apparently if you don't actually try to accomplish anything around the house for three solid days, you can do a lot of needlework. I not only finished everything on my list of goals for the weekend except for ordering the yarn since it wasn't available, but I also did all the stretch goals. I even finished a third book that wasn't on my stretch goals.

In sum, I finished reading three books that I was partway through reading, I put the straps on a pair of stays, I finished my cross-stitched Christmas stocking, I started the next piece of each of two knitting projects, I bought and prewashed Hallowe'en costume fabrics, I cut the fashion fabric for one of the costumes, and I assembled the pattern pieces for the other costumes since they've got oversized pieces that had to be taped together. I even blocked or pressed the two knitting projects that I finished.

Officially, I could give one more cross-stitching update, but it's just to say that at the end of week 11, the embroidery was finished. Week 12 assembled the stocking on Monday. I enjoyed doing it, but I'm ready for something else.

I've still got an hour before bed, but I'm not going to do any more laying out or cutting. There's enough time before Hallowe'en that I don't have to cut more than one fabric a day for a bit. I might knit. Or I might start a new book since now I only have one in progress, and it's in my desk at work so I can't read it right now.
