Let's talk goals a minute...

It's a shame a bin liner full of raw fleece is so unphotogenic, but goal number one is turning one of those, containing maybe a third of a llanwenog ewe's fleece, into yarn, before I bring home any more fleece.

This has been bumped up the priority list because, as part of participating in Open Farm Sunday with our friends at Court Farm Shop in Bishop's Cleeve, we get to buy fleece from the shearer, and meet people who have sheep and fleeces to spare. Mum has a portland fleece (from a ewe named 'Delight'!) in the attic with my name on it, as soon as I have space for it.


Other goals:
That cat embroidery from my previous post had turned into a patch and been attached to a jacket, but it needs more companions - I have two bi-flag themed patches in progress to join it, in hopes it'll be cool enough to wear a jacket when we go to Pride (It won't be, it's been over 26c here for the last week and a half with no signs of cooling down and I am SUFFERING).
So, those need to be a) finished, b) attached to the jacket in time for the parade on 14th July.

I haven't finished the Pincha shawl yet, but it'll be done by the time it's cool enough to wear a scarf as long as it's my project to take on the move.

Wedding crafts wise, I have one half finished crocheted vine, a couple of dozen paper flowers and a tree stump to work on eventually, but the more urgent thing is sorting out the art for invitations. I've done half of it, but perfectionism is kicking my arse over my amateurish watercolouring and I'm stalled.

There's a bunch of dressmaking and cosplay stuff just abandoned in a corner waiting for me to ease sleeves, shorten torsos and actually make space to cut things out, but who knows when I'll get any motivation for that.

And, being me I've taken on another project on a whim, this time roping in a little gang of other people. I'll pop some more stuff about that up here next time probably, once I'm ready to send things out.

In the meantime, I would love to hear about everyone's craft goals for the summer. Are you super organised and preparing for midwinter gift exchanges already? Are you drowning under dozens of half done projects like I am?
