January Review and Goals for February

Hi everyone,

Today is the 1st of February (gosh is it just me who feels time flied).
So it's time to do the balance for January and list my plans for February.

My realistic goals for January were:
- To complete the bear bars - Done

Before - 01.01.2014

After - Finished on 14.01.2014

And to reach 50% of the Lickle Teddy - A Bit Sleeping - When I stopped stitching yesterday evening I had 68.12% done (that is 5518 stitches out of 8100stitches).
And this is how it was looking, the bright pink of the body is complete, and I just have to finish the date and weight to finish the light purple. One interesting thing to notice is that both the name and date use the same thread, but the name looks totally different because of the bling gutterman thread added :)

Before - Licke Teddy - 01.01.2014

After - Lickle Teddy - 31.01.2014

I wasn't able to reach any of my dreamworld goals but to be honest I never believed I would be able to achieve them, I'm happy to have them there just to try and achieve a bit more as I did this month.

Now as for my February Goals:

Realistic Goals:
- Finish the Birth Sampler (preferably before the 10th of February to have time to frame it before visiting my brother and his family)
- Stitch 600 stitches on QS Believe

Dreamworld goals:
- Complete the partial page on QS Believe
- Stitch 100 stitches on QS Bookend Kitties

Lets see if I'll be as good as I was this month :)

Thanks for stopping by

And because I was stitching

Here is a picture of my latest progress on the bears head bars.

Bear Head's Bars as of 11.01.2013

The one on the left is finished, and the one on the right as all the outlinings done, so I just need to rip the inside colours of the bottom bear and stitch the middle and bottom bear with the right colours. I guess that will be all done on Monday :) (fingers crossed)

Hope you're all having a nice weekend. I took a break from work to make this post and going back to the pile of invoices I need to check now :)

Happy stitches everyone
