forestofgloryWell it is halfway through the month so time for goals check in. Here are the goals I started with at the beginning of the month an how I'm doing with them.
1)Sew the two quilt tops I have cut out
These turned out to be really fast to put together! I guess using big pieces like this make everything fast.

2)Sew a dress with the fabric the kid picked out
This not going nearly as well. I did buy the pattern for this dress, and then I felt anxious about trying a new pattern so I haven't gotten any further. I hope to at least get the dress cut out by the end of the month.
3)Post the fic I'm working on
Done!
4)Read five online SFF shorts
I have actually read 3 so far. Beneath Ceaseless Skies has specially double length issue #300 which features a novelette by R.B. Lemberg. So I bought a copy as an ebook because I am having trouble focusing on screens and I want to be able to read the story and not lose focus. So far I have read one story form that issue (but not the Lemberg one) and two online flash stories.
5)Passover
Passover ends at sunset tomorrow. So far it is going ok. We where able to get matzo and it turned out that we had enough matzo meal leftover form last year to make a recipe of matzo ball soup. So we had hosted a Seder via Zoom. Which was ok. There was a lot of tech faff and I really wished that I could have actually fed people, but it was nice considering.
6)Fanwriting Project AKA Five Fandom 5+1s and a Meme
I posted the first one of these yesterday. I had hoped to launch a bit early but I got distracted by the fic. However I do have a lot of this drafted an outlined, so I plan to post the rest by the end of the month.
So how are you doing? Do you have some projects that are helping you get through these times?
