Today is June 1 which means the first five months of 2025 are behind us. We’re entering the month of June and the summer season. Here’s a check-in on the progress of my Create Daily Tracker for 2025, with five months completed.

Tracker analysis
January - May consisted of 151 days.
- 100 days were spent on the 100 Day Project for 2025 [Jan. 17 - April 26], the 100 Day Stitch Book. If I spent a significant amount of time also working on another activity that day, I included a small box of with another color in the box for that day.
- 31 days in January were spent working on the January Junk Journal project.
The percentages of time spent on various activities were:
- 5% sewing and garment construction.
- 7% free-motion quilting, which was mostly charity quilts.
- 11% was spent on art projects—painting, collage, art journaling, etc.
- 12% on knitting/yarn projects
- 18% piecing and patchwork
- 40% slow stitching and mending; this includes the 100 Day Stitch Book, and the last half of the Winter of Care and Repair Challenge that started on the Winter Solstice and concluded on the Spring Equinox.
11 days (7%) are marked as Finishes—completed projects from any/all of the above categories/activities.

With the completion of this year’s 100 Day Project—which involved a lot of hand stitching—the remainder of the year should balance out the percentages of each activity. Unless, however, I stumble upon another enticing slow stitch project in the upcoming months.
