Often on New Year's Eve I sit back and review the previous year and write a list of goals for the coming year. That list often has a dozen quilts I intend to complete and countless other realistic goals. However, I seldom reference the list and therefore, do not often meet the goals. This year I am approaching it differently. Okay, I have done this before but never shared it. I sat up late the other night and jotted down some things I want to accomplish this month and wrote them on post it notes. When I complete the task I can remove it. If I do not compete it, then I can carry it over to the next month. It is a bit neater than erasing the goal or scratching it out if it is in ink. When I DO complete the task, then I can write that on the calendar. Interestingly enough, I have many daytimers and calendars from years past that chronicle my life activities.
Four of the monthly goals are quilting goals and four are writing goals. Seems balanced. But in actuality, the writing should take a lot more time if I actually start writing.I must keep in mind that the big goal of the year is completing my doctorate.
My daughter and grandson are visiting here for the week and we rummaged through some of my fabric stash to find the "right" fabric for her to make a quick quilt. She is cutting the fabrics right now herself. All her other quilts, I cut and she sewed. I quilted some and she quilted some.
New Year's Blessings,
Chris
