October's Goals

 Well, it's that time again.  When I share with you things that I have planned for the month. 

Before I get to it though, I figured we ought to address last month's goals, right?  Well, everything worked out splendidly except when it came to blogging 5 times a week, stocking up my etsy and having the stitchy group meet-up.  I have no one to blame but myself, however, I'm not going to waste time on negativity.  The way I look at it, if everything is easy then I'm setting my sights too low.  

I guess it really comes down to time management- making the time to get things done.  I fall into the trap of "Well, as long as I'm still getting something productive done..."  I counter feeling bad about not reaching last month's goals by pointing out all of the other stuff I did get done.  Yet, it seems that setting goals means nothing if I don't get there.  So, time for accountability.  (Well, that sounded...grown-up.  Ick.)


As for the stitchy group, I'm not giving up on this yet.  I figured it was best to wait and see what my new job schedule was going to be like before I made plans.  I would hate to have to flake out because I had to go to work.  However, I did design fliers and would love you guys to check them out.  I'll post 'em and you tell me what you think, deal?
In October, I will:
* Finish 10 Christmas gifts
*Make kitchen curtains
*Sand our end tables (and collaborate with Dillon on designs)
*Work on business cards
*Make 2 Toy Society drops
* Ready sewing cabinet and transfer design
*Make 5 etsy sales
*Actually hold first stitchy group meet-up

I'll also be working on the things that I failed miserably at last month- stocking etsy and blogging...regularly.  

Ambitious?  Yes.  Realistic?  Yes.  
I can do this!

you have a lot to do. But sounds do-able. I'd love to come to a stitch meeting.

You can do it! I'm trying to be productive as well. Blogging really helps stay motivated.

I always fall short on my blogging goal. 5 times a week would be so awesome. I even have the dang app so I could technically be blogging on a smoke break at work. Must start working on that. Still looking forward to the meet up.

Thanks for being so encouraging guys. I'm working on it. Already started on a few on the gifts.

Blogging helps me to stay motivated too. I see all the cool stuff on other people's blogs, then I want to make my own cool stuff, then I blog, then I look again. It's a vicious cycle :)
