Embellished Art Embroidery Project Planner
by Christen Brown
Everything You Need to Dream, Plan and Organize 12 Projects!
This is a 12-month planner, but your planning can begin at any time of the year. For a quick reference guide, you can list Events by month, under My Creative Goals. My Action Plan provides a place to list the specific details of these projects such as Task List/Action, Due, and Completed, in a monthly overview format.
The main portion of the book revolves around the 12 Project color wheel and 12-month Project Log. There are 4 pages dedicated for each of the 12 main projects. In addition to the large projects, there is a Small Projects log, and a Works-in-Progress Log. There are also blank pages throughout the book for you to jot down notes, and Future Project Ideas.
Another helpful feature is the tracking section for your monthly/yearly activities. This section includes the Class Tracker, Stitch Along Time with Friends, Holiday Projects Tracker, Gift Tracker, and Competitions & Show Entries. Your social activities and contacts such as Guilds and Organizations, Stitching Friends, and upcoming Conferences can be listed with dates, addresses, and phone numbers. Your favorite stores and repair shops are important too, so there is a spot to list them as well.
The planner ends with a Reference section, that includes The Basics, Choosing the Correct Needle, Tips from the Field and Embroidery Specifics. Sprinkled throughout the planner you will find close-up sections of 14 of my previously published artworks, and a few inspirational pages, that I hope will encourage your creative spirit to enjoy and breathe in the moment.
It just makes sense to keep all of your creative aspirations, goals and information in one handy planner, because your brain can only hold so much information in it at one time! I hope that you all enjoy the well-planned creative journey!

Oh my gosh – to be organized… what an incredible help that would be for me! I love the concept of this book – the sections make so much sense. Your experience being drawn together in a book form would save all those fleeting ideas from escaping us, and turn them into creations. My head is so full of great ideas that I miss. This book is the ideal tool for us. My fingers are crossed, and thank you for extending the offer is this wonderful book.

What a great idea! Having everything written done in one place will save time searching for where I wrote down the info and free up time and mind space to be creative and maybe actually finish a few projects.

Now, this is a great idea, Many times I see something that I think would be a great art piece and if I don’t record it, it’s gone. Here is the idea book! Also, the cover is to drool over.
