February Review

So my goals for Feb were:

1. Finish tidying and organising the craft room - I made a good go at this although I'm sure it's always going to be a WIP but at least there is a semblance of organisation now.

2. Get the christmas decorations into the loft (which requires DH to put down some loft boards first) - done!

3. Likewise get the suitcases into the loft which will free up cupboard space - done!

4. Make a baby quilt for a work colleague (this is a must, rather than a want) - done!

5. Make at least one blind for the house - fail

6. Make at least one cushion cover for the house - fail

7. Start my journal - done but not convincingly

8. Empty at least four more boxes from the move - done!

9. Stitch on two wips - done!

10. Kit up some stitchy ornaments  - half done.  I went through my ornament mags and identified those I want to do but I haven't kitted anything up yet.

So I...

All in all not a bad month.  I read 12 books!  Seriously.  12!  I'm happy with my stitching progress but annoyed I didn't get any proper sewing done.  In my defence the end of the month has snuck up on me due to Feb being so short.  I intend to do much better in March.

February Goals

So it's month 2 of 2014 and I have plans.  January was super-busy and we barely had enough time to keep up with the day-to-day let alone to add in extras.  Hopefully February will be the opposite as we have very little planned and therefore time to get on with things.  My list of 'want to get dones' is as follows:

1. Finish tidying and organising the craft room.

2. Get the christmas decorations into the loft (which requires DH to put down some loft boards first)

3. Likewise get the suitcases into the loft which will free up cupboard space.

4. Make a baby quilt for a work colleague (this is a must, rather than a want).

5. Make at least one blind for the house

6. Make at least one cushion cover for the house

7. Start my journal

8. Empty at least four more boxes from the move

9. Stitch on two wips

10. Kit up some stitchy ornaments
