Monthly Goals: October 2016

Happy October and happy Saturday :)

Before we delve into October's goals, we should probably revisit the September ones, just to see how crazy I was....or still am....

Fibery Goals

1. Work on the following (and maybe finish something): Wink,  the Caffe Macchiato Socks, or the Oh, She IS a Bad Nut shawl. Get buttons on Gex and get it shipped out :)

2. Proper destash work (photos, updating the database on Ravelry, etc.)

3. Partake in a fibery endeavor at least 4x/week.

4. Yarn Diet (clubs don't count).
5. Design work.
6. Clean out the yarn closet some more.
7. Anything else that comes along.

Gex has buttons but it's not quite been shipped. I need to make sure I have the address correct. Everything else is still on the needles. The socks are growing, even if it's just a round here and there. I also have worked a couple rows of both the shawl and the cardigan but nothing significant. In addition to that, I also started and finished a dishcloth and a hat. I've been lax about the destash photos. I know I need to take a few but I've just not bothered. I've been busy doing other things. My yarn diet....well....uh.....moving along to those other things that have caused busyness in my life. Design work. I think I've lost all control of my sanity because I saw a call for submissions a few days ago and thought to myself, "oh, I can get all that done and shipped out before the due date," which is in a week or so. So, I've swatched, I've typed, I've cursed (a lot), I've made pseudo-prototypes.....and I'm pretty much finished, if you can believe that! I doubt anything will come of it but, you know, I did it and that's grand. 


Non-Fibery Goals
1. Put the armoire together in Stormageddon's room & organize.
2. Go through everything on the cookbook shelf.
3. Go through all our food & dishes (pantry, cupboards, buffet, etc.).
4. Gym and/or some other form of exercise.
5. Work on the weight loss shit (woo).
6. Keep up on the (new) bullet journal.
7. Work on stocking the Etsy shop.

The armoire is put together. Some organization has happened. I'm not finished by any means but it's a good start. I went through our food (pantry, cabinets, fridge, and freezers)...threw out a bunch of expired stuff and stuff that was moldy or freezer burned. The dishes, on the other hand....yeah, not so much. I've also not been to the gym and, as a result, my weight loss has suffered. I've not really gained any weight but I'm back to hovering. The bullet journal continues to just go and go...

And then, there's the Etsy shop. I got a bunch of things ready to go and I just updated the shop. You should go visit and buy things. 



And now that we've talked about the September goals, it's now time to look ahead to October :)
