So with 3 months left in the year, here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do:<\/p>\n<p>1) Finish Baby Celebration in October so it will be done before baby&#8217;s 1st birthday on November 10. Here is it as of today:<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8664.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1124 aligncenter size-large\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8664.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8664.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8664.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8664.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can see how close I am! No problem with this goal!<\/p>\n<p>2) Complete the center design of Random Thoughts before Thanksgiving. The &#8220;Z&#8221; represents the bottom right corner of the center section. I&#8217;ll do the border and hem stitch in 2019 (!) because there will be a learning curve!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8665.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1125 aligncenter size-large\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8665.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8665.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8665.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8665.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also very close! My delay is all the over one bits-there is a cat and a flower-and then I have to chart my name&#8230;well, it&#8217;s not the straightforward stitching. I can do it!<\/p>\n<p>3) Stitch down to the hardanger portion of Heirloom Nativity before Christmas. Again there&#8217;ll be a learning curve with the hardanger so I&#8217;ll save that for 2019 too.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8667.jpg?resize=535%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1126 aligncenter size-large\" width=\"535\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8667.jpg?resize=535%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 535w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8667.jpg?resize=157%2C300&amp;ssl=1 157w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8667.jpg?resize=768%2C1471&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8667.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/img_8667.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This one has the most work on it, but also the longest time to get it completed. And it will be nice to stitch the Nativity in Advent.<\/p>\n<p>What a lovely plan!<\/p>\n<p>Somehow within this stitching I have 2 little gifts to make and I&#8217;d really like to get one small done a month to keep up with the Smalls SAL and possibly Ornies SAL (especially because I have pieces picked for those). Anyway, we&#8217;ll see-I don&#8217;t want to put off the big pieces anymore in order to do the little ones this year.
