All I can say is, it's a good thing I have a sense of humour and paid the extra for the warranty for my newly replaced keyboard and mouse. How is a girl supposed to play games and scroll and copy and paste without a mouse??? But, good thing I have a touch screen. I am so spoiled.
I started an elaborate to-do list for the first 6 months of this new year, but I guess I should just do it week by week. The kids do not go back to school until Jan 9 so we still have a whole week of holidays and the grandkids are away doing wintery things elsewhere. The major blizzard that crippled our part of the world over Christmas has melted into mushy puddles and I think I can go out and plant a few more tulip bulbs. Yup. I can do that in January.
My first to-do list of 2023:
- Charge the camera batteries so I can take pictures of my quilt progress.
- Remember to take pictures.
- Get the mouse and keyboard exchanged at Staples.
- Set my January OMG goal. It needs to be simple. I have a lot going on this month.
- Organize my new 2023 Desk Calendar for January so I can see at a glance all that I have going on this month.
- Clear the big work tables in the quilt room to get ready to be busy.
- Put away all the pretty fabrics I pulled out to fussy cut a few more Lucy blocks. I could show pictures, but my camera battery is being charged.
- Stitch for 15 Minutes a Day. This includes hand stitching, machine sewing, cutting, gluing prep work, ironing, unstitching. Yes. I do some of that occasionally.
- Meeting with my local quilting friends on messenger this Sat afternoon so need to have the Lucy one inch squares, papers and glue sticks ready for a marathon.
- Complete the 3 Palm Leaf blocks for the Wedding Quilt. I stopped ignoring it.
- Locate the Di Ford-Hall fabrics and see what I have on hand to possibly consider maybe starting Windermere in the next year or two. I ordered EPP papers when I ordered more Lucy papers. Shipping was outrageous.
- Play with some of the 23 ufos. This is where my organizing started to take over my fun time, so I think I will report what I played with and progress, if any. with pictures. I don't have to revisit them all this week now do I? The battery should soon be charged.
Sounds like a plan! No sewing here today, instead of procrastinating, I'm working on taxes info to drop off next week at the taxman office, blah! I'd rather be sewing but taxes have to be figured and paid. Have fun with your organizing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful goals to start the new year Chris... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGetting rythymn is important for me. I'm not great at doing that, but it really does make a difference with keeping moving on things. Good luck with this week's to do list.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! You really seem to have your work cut out for you, don't you? Best of luck working through your goals!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are going to have a busy start to the year. Lots of options for your 15 minutes there.
ReplyDeleteGreat planning. Loved the first few organizers. =)
ReplyDeleteWe do get spoiled to the mouse don't we. I agree, shipping is outrageous on orders. I hear you on lists everywhere. I just ordered a small spiral to keep my projects listed. I'm not about to spend money on a planner that I'll never use.
ReplyDeleteWell done for making such great goals. I need to take a leaf from your book and get my year started in the best way. I'm looking forward to being your stitching buddy when we have the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
*hugs*

A Plan is a good start - I spent a lot of today - editing my list on my spreadsheet (scary) and my blog lists - This Year, Other To Dos and "even more".
ReplyDeleteit's woeful - I MUST NOT start anything new . . . .
Good luck with your list for your to dos.
