Welcome to my blog. I am from Central New York. Since I don't have a flossstube, I post most of my updates here or in Instagram. Follow me at @suestagsstitches.

February was a tough month to get any stitching done. I spent the first week so sick with the flu I didn't want to do anything. Thank goodness that finally passed and I finally got to stitching!
WIPS:
SALs (Hometown & Watergarden)
Started and Finished: Frosty Tiny Town, Winter Quaker, Home 4 the Holidays, and one of the Dwelling Place pillows.
Remaining WIP: I started the March 12 Monthly mini but didn't finish it.
Finishes: 6
FFO's: 0
While it wasn't a tremendous number of projects, I FFO'd almost the same number that I started, so I'll count that as a win.
Getting ready for my first retreat at Chantelles 141 (it was a blast), lots of sewing for my daughter's wedding, and a full two weeks of vacation led to a less-productive month by the numbers.
I was still happy by my progress.
My June statistics were not awe inspiring but I was slowed down a bit by Covid for 7 days.
I had 8 new starts, 8 finishes, and 7 FFOs.
April was a productive month with a lot of stitching and fewer finishes. There were 13 starts, 10 finishes, and 4 FFO's. I decided to save some of the projects to FFO in May. I'm loving using the Book of Days as my progress calendar.
March was a very productive month. You get a lot done when you are supposed to be "resting". I'll post a video of some of the FFOs soon.
For now, here is a photo of my "Book of Days" project tracker. 8 starts, 7 finishes, and 13 FFOs (a few left over from February).
My 'Book of Days' is modeled after the example that Nichol Spohr showed on her Flosstube Ep. 69. at 59:00. I just record what I have done each day. There is a colored status key made with highlighters. I just highlight appropriately and just count them up at the end of the month for a quick total. Easy-peasy! It's not planning, it is just to keep track of my projects.
