Blog Hop #3: Setting Goals

I found this nifty blogging prompt from Julie's blog and Heaven knows I need more to ramble about, ahaha. Here is the current prompt (can I go back and do the other ones too?!):

• Do you set stitching goals for yourself and how do you plan them out? (Weekly, monthly, annually?) What are your current stitching goals (if you don’t mind sharing)?
  
  
• In addition to setting goals for yourself, do you have a special reward that you reserve for when you reach a stitching goal?

Hmm, do I set goals? I suppose in a rudimentary sort of way, I do a daily sort of goal. I'm quite content with my goal being "finish this piece" before starting a new one. I've found that's rather... odd in the stitching world, ahaha (I have only two on-going projects and one is back on UFO status). I don't know if that contributes or alleviates my random stitching blahs. In my current piece (FFVII), I'll try to get a "section" done. Usually that means a single color filled in or a whole letter fully stitched. I do tend to make yearly goals although they're a bit more like "let me see, I think this and this and maybe that would be nice to accomplish but things usually happen so I won't get my panties in a knot if things don't work out." I might be a little lackadaisical. :)

I don't reward myself for completion because I've honestly never thought about rewarding myself for any goal! Maybe if I started bribing myself with Skittles for successes, things would explode with stitches.

My train of thought derailed as I thought about this. It made me realize that out of all the things I've ever stitched (apart from tiny kits), only ONE piece was ever framed. All the rest are neatly rolled up in scrap fabric and stored away! I think a new goal needs to be "get those things framed and displayed, you silly hobo!" Don't you agree?
