November Goals!

Hello and happy November! I'm very late to the party. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that my Year of Projects post went up late because I've been busy with kids and one of my besties from college is staying with us for a week........which is why this post is late, as well :)

But, we're here so let's get going!

My October Goal Review:

FIBERY GOALS
1. Work on the following (and maybe finish one or two of): Snape's Stockings, Wink, Dragon's Egg Socks, Pacific Shawl, Fire & Ice (Fire) Socks, Little Man's Hat, and Bunny.

Hahaha, no. I worked on my Pacific Shawl quite a bit this month and I'm on the border. The Fire Socks saw some action, as did my hat for Little Man. I'm not close to finishing anything but I did make some progress...

2. Card some more puni rolags from the purple merino/silk blend and maybe spend some time spinning it.

All the fiber has been carded and rolled into puni rolags and I even spun some of it. Not much but still, progress :)

3. Try to partake in a fibery endeavor every day.

Trying. Not succeeding. Oh well.

4. Get back on the Yarn Diet Train (club yarns, of course, do not count).

I think I've done pretty well with this. I had some club yarns arrive and I've not done any shopping that I can think of...

5. Toss the stash. Pull things out to destash, update the written database and the spreadsheet, and so on.

I didn't toss the stash as much as I wanted, nor did I work on updating my database/spreadsheet but I did sell some yarn, which is lovely.

6. Work on Ice Socks design (seriously, the chart.....it eludes me!).

My mantra: JUST GOOGLE IT, STUPID! I did some work and found a chart of what I've been looking for. I have to tweak it for what I want but I found one and that's exactly what I was going for. 

7. Anything else that tickles my fibery fancy (starting a new project, destashing, book destashing, organizing, etc.).

I'm sure things tickled my fancy but I don't remember. I'm lucky I know my own name...


NON-FIBERY GOALS
1. Reorganize in Stormageddon's room. 

Haha. No.

2. Go through Little Man's clothes/books/toys.

I did do some of this but it needs more (story of my life!).

3. Drink more water.

Does coffee count?

4. Try to go to the gym at least 2x/week or some other method of exercise.

It was hard for part of this month because Little Man was on fall break from school, which means I spent two weeks NOT walking 2 miles 5 days a week. But, it's okay.

5. Family history/genealogy stuff: photo albums, family stories, etc.

No.

6. Keep working on the weight loss shit (thank you, Lose It app for doing the math and such for me).

Keep on keeping on. 

7. Keep up on the pseudo bullet journal thingie I'm doing.

Not perfect but I'm trying.

8. Read The Hobbit.

Nope. Not at all.

9. Work on my recipe journal.

One would think I would have, as it's a goal....but, it just didn't happen. 



So, there's October....but let's move on to November.
