Even though we've been busy busy with our traveling the end of April and beginning of May I was able to finish both April pieces and both May pieces. I didn't get to join in the April Smalls post but you can scroll down and see those pieces if you like in my previous posts. Here are my May finishes again though...
Other future plans I would like to share with everyone now. After finishing up my two June pieces I want to start Adjust your Sails. Bridgette who sent me the pattern is going to stitch it along with me. I will work on that until the 3rd full weekend of June which is starting June 21st. Fred has plans and will be gone all weekend. It's IHSW weekend plus Jo will be hosting the Longest Day SAL. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do. Stitch on one piece the whole time. Stitch on a bunch of different pieces for a certain period of time. I just couldn't settle on an idea. Then I woke up one night and was laying in the bed. I swear I do the best thinking in the middle of the night. An idea popped in my head and I'm so excited.
Friday morning I will start. I'm going to put all my WIP names in a tin. Jeremiah (or mom) will pick a WIP out. I will make a goal on that piece and write it down. Something like finish an area, finish a symbol, certain number of stitches, or certain amount of time. At the end of that Jeremiah will pick out the next paper. Then I thought why just do that Friday for the Longest Day SAL. I'm really looking forward to it. So I'm going to keep at it for the whole IHSW. So Friday morning until Sunday evening at bed time. My other goal is watch as many TV shows off my DVR as I can because I'm so far behind.
Now I can't wait!!! I've warned the family. I'm going to make sure everything is ready and waiting for me to stitch stitch stitch. Will you be joining in? What's your plans. Let's make it a big one. Bring in Summer with a bang.

I just love the Birdhouse piece! Very cute.
You have June all planned out, I hope it works out for you! Enjoy your weekend at the cabin.
I love your May pillows! You are a really good finisher, the pillow are so fat and the corners are so perfect! Nicely done! :)
Two lovely finishes, your plans sound great, I wonder which WIP will be pulled out first
Your finishes are so cute. Your plans sound wonderful and I hope you get tons of stitching done.
That's a really good idea for combining IHSW and The Longest Day SALs, taking each WIP as it comes and setting individual goals. Then if you're not too keen on the one pulled out of the bag you can set a smaller goal/time limit than one you really enjoy working on. Do you have an idea of how many you would like to get through during those three days? :)
Hpoe your plans work out well for the weekend stitching marathan
Your May pillows look wonderful.
I love your idea for The Longest Day and IHSW plus the TV-marathon. What a fabulous weekend. I shall look forward to hearing all about it!
I love your idea to select WIPs! Hope you have a good TV marathon and a great time at the cabin x
