#24HOCS November Challenges

Now that I've wrapped up October let's see what I plan to do in November.

I'm going to hope for more than 24 hours for the monthly challenge. Normally that one isn't a problem for me. Next up then is the November acrostic which is REWIND TIME which we just did over the weekend. Now it's dark all the time it feels like. I'm going to do this one a little different. Yes I want 4 hours on each one hopefully more. My goal really is just to get the piece out and make progress at all. So I will pick a goal instead. I seem to really love doing that. We'll see. Anyway let's go my acrostic plan...

R -- Christmas Jars from Dimensions
Start on the "R"ed Jar
Remember this one?
I have two finished. Perfect that the red one is next isn't it?
E -- Salt Water Taffy from Joan "E"lliott
W -- Autumn Blessing from "W"axing Moon Designs
New start. With all the beautiful leaves outside this one is begging to be started.
I -- Cabin Fever Mill Hill Kit
Connection: "I" really want this one finished!!
N -- "N"autical Year November from Sand, Sea & Cross Stitch
Have to Finish Mom's Monthly Piece
D -- Beer "D"ragon from Paine Free Crafts
Yep got him back on the list!
T -- Lizzie Kate Flip It Stamp November
Connection: There is "T"urkey on it.
My monthly design.
I -- 99 Bottle from "I"nk Circles
Fred's piece made it back on the list too.
M -- Tree Shopping a "M"ill Hill Kit
New start. I love this one and just have to have it ready by Christmas.
E -- Adjust your Sails from Little Dove Designs
Connection: It's on "E"venweave Fabric
Just had to get this one back on the list too. My SAL partner finished hers.

So we'll see how much I can get done. I know life is slowing down finally. We brought home most of the cabin stuff since the weekends are getting really cold now. We won't be going down every weekend. We do hope to go down some time of course we would just miss it too much. IHSW weekend (the third weekend) my hubby is going to be gone all weekend. I can't decide if I'm going to have a marathon type weekend or just make a lot of progress on these pieces. We'll see what I decide later. I hope everyone has a great month. I'm hoping to start mom's piece today and get it knocked out quickly. I can't believe there are just two months left of 2019! I love hearing the plans and new challenges for the upcoming year. I'm always excited to join in. Please make sure to post details on any new challenges/SALs that you hear about. It's always fun to see what the community is up to.

I like how you've tweaked this challenge to suit your favourite type of stitching - that of moving between projects depending on which one is screaming at you the loudest! At least narrowing it down to ten in November should keep the screams to a tolerable level!
Good luck for the month. You've picked out some lovely projects and I can't wait to see progress on them all!

As for 2020 challenges, I've already mentioned a couple of mine to you, but don't forget to pass on any you think the rest of us might be interested in! :)

I love your plans for November and I hope you manage to accomplish them all. As for SALs, are you a member of Stitch Maynia on Facebook? They have lots of SALs every month.

So many fabulous stitching choices, I really love those jars... among all the rest of them!

Looks like a great plan Katie though that "I" looked a little Iffy to me and your "E" can also be for East on the compass. I hope that you get them all squeezed in especially those jars. I am looking forward to seeing that stitched up!
