September FFG

This year Rachel started a new SAL that I sure needed. It's a kick in the bum to finish those pieces that hide away in our box of shame. I know I had a tendency for a long time to finish the stitching on a piece and then hide the piece away in drawer. I don't know why I would do that. Part of the fun of stitching should be enjoying the beautiful work on display where it deserves to be right?

So on the 10th of each month we are to post our finished pieces.

Stop over to the check in post to see what all beauties people have finished this month. She said people have reported over 300 finishes this year already! So evidently I'm not the only one that needed this SAL.

Let's see what I've finished since last check in...

Right after the last check in I finished my August Lizzie Kate...
Since then I finished a piece but not fully finished. I've had no time. As always for me this time of year. But yesterday I did finish something new to report...
 (Finish #29) September 9th
  September from Sand, Sea and Cross Stitch Book
Stitched on 14ct White Aida Fabric
Threads are Suggested DMC
Started Sep 4th. Took 5 Days.
  8 Hours and 53 Minutes Start to Finished.
 
So only two finishes in this span. It's okay the months will hopefully be slowing down a bit. (Of course I think I say that every month haha.)
 
Let's recap my year with the push from this SAL though...
 
February -- 5
March -- 6
April -- 5
May --  2
June -- 4
July -- 2 
August -- 6
September -- 2
Total of  32 Now!!!!
 
Even with my 2 finishes this time I'm still pretty happy. I'm working on my September Lizzie Kate now. So I better get back to it. Have a great day!

I love all your stitching and enjoy reading about your cabin and family.

Fantastic finishes! And you can't expect 6 every month. I might have 6 all year, so you're doing amazing! And yes, I don't know why we don't finish things. Oh wait, yes I do! It's so we can go straight to stitching the next thing. :D

Thanks for taking part again! I take it that this month's nautical piece has already 'vanished'?! At least you get to keep your LK!
Good luck with September's social life slowing down a bit. Your poor socialising brain must be exhausted! :)

Nice work, I like your running total too. I'll probably do a recap at the end of the year just to see how many I managed.
