March 2024 PHD Report from Life In Pieces

First quarter is over and we are already a few days into the 2nd quarter of 2024. Since March is over, it's time to look my progress towards a PHD and link up with P Designs USA for the March PHD report. This month the report shows a finish for the first time this year.

Still a long way to go to reach PHD status. But it's nice having the first finish in March versus waiting till September.

A Flutter was sent for quilting in February. This quilt was started in 2013, it was my second Rainbow Scrap ...

First Finish for 2024: A Flutter from Life In Pieces

I've been trying to shift my perspective to appreciate progress at least as much as finishes. I'm still working on making that shift. But the truth is, the goal for every project is to get it finished. This one has been on the "to be finished list" for quite awhile.

The blocks were started as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge sponsored by SoScrappy (Angela has done an amazing job of keeping this going for so many years). My first post on this project presented this mock up as my RSC project for 2013.

The first block wasn ...

Bits of This and That Stitching from Life In Pieces

I'm late posting this morning. I had an early morning doctor's appointment to go over the MRI results on my knee. When I mess myself up, apparently I don't do anything in halves. Both meniscus in my right knee are torn. So that will mean surgery, probably later this spring. We'll see how long I'm out of the sewing room when we get to that. For now, I'll keep working to finish off a few projects before I end up on restrictions.

This weekend was a mixed bag on the stitching front. I did ...

It certainly seems like March is moving along. Friday is the halfway point of the month. The end of the month marks the end of the first quarter of 2024. There is still 3/4 of the year left, but boy does it seem like time is moving quickly.

1. Stay at Home Round Robin: Finish border 5, work on border 6 ✔

To Do List for the Week of 03/05/2024 from Life In Pieces

I was a bit off my game most of the week. Fitting in physical therapy and some time with an ice pack afterwards has skewed my schedule a bit. The medication is messing with my sleep schedule a bit and that has definitely taken a toll too. I made it to the sewing room every day, but just didn't have the energy to focus for long periods of time. All that to say, I didn't do so hot on last week's to do list.

To Do List for 02/27/2024

1. 2024 SAHRR: Finish borders 5 ...
