A few days late but better lat than never. I have to admit I am somewhat afraid to look at what I hoped to achieve for September. It has been a hellishly busy month PhD wise. Which has both its ups and downs I guess. A lot of those mystery PhD goals I had were actually achieved.. right up until I had a piece of equipment break down again. That kind of threw things off a bit for the past two weeks.

My September Goals were:

• Finish stitching my Halloween exchange piece - Nope but I did start at least a half dozen things.. one of those is bound to be the one I send
• Reach the 55% mark on lost (this relates to about another 2400sts)- I think I feel short on this one too but I should be close I will need to check
• Pick up cirques and get at least on length of thread into it.- I looked at it but no stitches were done
• Reach the 50% mark on Fudgeys RR - ummmm no
• Finish Belladonnas eye and post a wip pic of her finally - Very very close and I did post a pic
• Participate in the Challenge SAL - Yep

I also managed to participate in teh Background SAL and got 1500ish stitches into Violet Sometimes as well as participating in teh 5th weekend SAL. So all in all I at least progressed some of my pieces along this month.

Now for October.. I think I will have to be more focused this time in my goals:

October Goals are:

1. Participate in teh SAL challenge
2. Finish my exchange piece and send it off on time.
3. get the RR done to the point where I can finish it on time (posting date is Nov 5th I think)
4. Work on Belladonna some more
5. Get to the 60% mark on Lost

My focus though will be the obligation stitching I need to finish off. There will be some serious stashing done in october too as the usual gang is heading off to the stitching show again. Nic and I always get in trouble there
