#24HOCS February Goals

February I have a lot of fun plans to look forward to. I'm doing the #LovetoStitch challenge where we post a photo every day to the Facebook group with a half hour of progress before and after. The Homely Houseplants SAL with Stitchonomy starts tomorrow and every two days we get a new plant to stitch on our shelves with a total of 12 plants to stitch up. We are having another stitch meet up on the 9th. Two fun weekend getaways to be excited about. The 21st weekend to our cabin to celebrate my dad retiring from his job after 41 years. We are attending his work party on Friday and having a family party Saturday to celebrate. The next weekend the last one of February my godson is turning 18 years old. So we have a whole bunch of friends getting together at a hotel and having a pool party which just so happens to be really close to an awesome casino too. So lots of fun to look forward to but it's also another cold winter month which should hopefully mean a lot of stitching time during the week days.

Let's go over my #24HOCS Goals for the month.

1st up to stitch 24 hours throughout the month. Should be no problem right?

2nd is the monthly acrostic. This month is LEAPYEAR20. Let's see what I picked for those letters...

L - Feb Fairy from Lili of the Valley Calendar
Connection: L in Lili 
Goal: Finish 
Another cutie this month. Can't wait to start her.

E - Heart Freebie
Connection: Each Day
Goal: Finish? 
I received this adorable heart last year for the Valentine Blog Hop from AriadnefromGreece. When I seen it was a freebie I quickly printed it out to hopefully stitch myself. I'm going to work on it a half hour a day for the #LovetoStitch Challenge. I don't know if I will finish it or not we'll see. If I do I have another love themed piece ready to go in it's place.

A - Winter Time
Connection: A Gift to Me
Goal: 4 Hours 
P - Homely Houseplants SAL
Connection: P in Plants
Goal: Keep Up with SAL
SAL with Stitchonomy. Can't really show you a picture of this one because I have no idea what it will look like. 12 plants. Released every 2 days starting tomorrow. Can't wait to see it come together.

Y - 99 Bottles
Connection: Yeast in Beer
Goal: Add 4 Bottles 
E - Wish Upon a Starfish
Connection: Easy Stitch
Goal: At Least 24 Minutes 
A - Camping Out MH
Connection: Another Section
Goal: Finished at least 1 Section
This is the 2nd Mill Hill Kit I want to complete for the cabin. I finished the other one in 2019. Now to finish the companion piece. I have another matching custom mat like the one I used for Cabin Fever as well.

R - Rules for Life
Connection: R in Rules
Goal: At least 24 Minutes 
The marathon made me want to work on this one again. So it's on the list.

2 - Boba Fett
Connection: Start 2nd Page
Goal: 4 Hours 
Really want to finish this one this year for Jeremiah so have to keep it on the list.

0 - Beer Dragon
Connection: Over One
Goal: At least 400 Stitches
For WIPGO Board 
Both numbers picked for the WIPGO board were 200 stitches for this one. So need a total of 400 to call those marked off. 

There is also a Holiday calendar. I will do my best to come up with matches for those fun days. Just need to have a really creative mind day haha. I just shake my head at most the days listed. National Clam Chowder Day? Really we need a day for that haha. Do a Grouch a Favor Day did make me laugh. I do see a few that will work right away at least. Now to stretch the others haha. 

Have a great month. Here's hoping we all have a lot of progress to share at the end of the month.

I found your blog a bit ago, though this is my first time commenting. I love seeing your posts, and am always so impressed by all your projects. It's neat how you are so organized with your stitching and keeping track of everything you're working on. It was fun to read about your 24 Hours Marathon too-that was crazy how much you did in a weekend! I love so many of your projects, and the monthly fairies are so cute! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on so many lovely designs. Have a great weekend!

Fantastic plans for the month! I love all these different challenges. Lovely idea to stitch the heart Ariadne sent you. I think that will count for GG this month.

I have every faith in you to accomplish ALL of your goals!
Do a Grouch a Favour Day? Guess I should call my brother!

I know I'm commenting when the month is almost over, but good luck with all of your February goals! It'll be interesting to see how you fit them all in, considering your social calendar for the month. I think one thing's for certain though... you're not going to be stitching for 90 hours this month! :)
