WIP: Berlin Woolwork, Part 4

Here's a picture of my progress so far including Parts 1 through 4.

Parts 1 - 4, Motifs 1-42

As you can see - I've completed Part 4 and started a tiny bit of Part 5 (lower right).

Here's a closeup of motif 34.

Berlin Woolwork - Part 3

I really did finish this in March but am late posting. I've even started on Part 4 so I'm on target with my goal of finishing one part per month - so far, so good!

This isn't a quick project, takes some concentration and I can't work on it for long periods but am really pleased with the results.

Am I looking for excuses to start something else? You bet - here's a peek . . . think Spring!

There are a total of 95 motifs in 9 parts in all and since that sounds so daunting I've decided to set a goal. Did you know there are 3 parts to effective goal setting? I didn't learn this until recently.

1. The goal must be realistic, obtainable: do-able. In other words I can't say I'll finish this project in 2 days because I can't humanly stitch that fast.

2. There must be a timeframe attached to the goal (mine is September of this year). Otherwise, I would take forever.

3. It must be measurable (I always have trouble with this one).

My Goal: I will stitch Parts 3 through 9 until the project is completed in September 2009. If I break it down in smaller increments it doesn’t sound so daunting – I will complete stitching Part 3 in March, Part 4 in April, and so on. Sorry for my rambling – I’m giving myself a pep talk – sort of a motivational kick in the pants. So many projects, so little time. . . . . . but I'm smiling!!!
