• Complete 1 Pansy Patch Face 
• Purchase some fabric for Rainbow Road Quilt
• Get the Kenmore machine repaired

• Start a second cross stitch

• Continue working on Christmas projects
• 1+ sewing or crafting related Pinterest Challenge
• 1+ food related Pinterest Challenge
• Clean out the car
• Set more mouse traps 
• Get those plates on the wall this month or give up on the idea

IF I get the Kenmore back in time to do anything with it: 

• Quilt Procrastination 1/2 Squares Quilt
• Try my hand at sewing an article of clothing

If I don't? 

• Reading. 

If I can't work with the Kenmore* (which I've been informed is actually a Janome?), I'd like to get nearer 10 than 5 this month. My year of tracking books flips over on October 15 and I'm far behind where I was this time last year. Then again, I'm way ahead in terms of sewing, quilting, photography, cooking, and blogging, and there has to be a trade-off of some kind. Okay, I'm also ahead in number of hours spent on Pinterest. And hours worked per week. Still, it'd be nice to hit 100 books read in a year... 

*Yes, I can still do some things with the Singer - but it is slower and has significantly fewer stitches to choose from. And it's louder.
