January Goals

It seems silly to be setting more goals after just writing a short novel about my 2020 goals, but y’all know I love my monthly goals posts! So I’ll keep this short and sweet. First, looking back at December.

  1. December Daily. Well, I didn’t finish it, but I did get 13 days of it done so that’s something. I’m putting this one first on the list for January.
  2. Secret Sewing. Mostly done! I made a wall hanging for my grandmother and I got it all epp’d, appliqued, even hand quilted! But I just couldn’t figure out the binding. lol. So in the end, I wrapped it up with the fabric for the binding and we’re going to finish it together. 🙂 I’m planning to write a whole blog post about it once it’s finished.
  3. Bluebonnets. I wanted to finish appliquing all 6 of my bluebonnets, and I’m happy to report that I got 3 more done bringing my grand total to 5! I also made some progress on the bookshelf block. 🙂
  4. Advent Activities. I actually struggled with this and I don’t know why. But in the end, we had a great advent.
  5. Buy all the things. Check.
  6. Wrap all the things. Check.
  7. Decorate. Check. And for bonus points, we got it all packed away yesterday!
  8. 9 Patches. I actually got 18 9 patches done! I’m seriously happy with my progress.
  9. Montessori Trays. Ugh. I got nothing done.
  10. Windchime. Also got nothing done. lol. But I did piece a whole quilt top in less than a week! Maybe I’ll write a blog post about that too. lol.

Which brings us to January. Hmm….

  1. Write thank you notes. This needs to happen today or tomorrow.
  2. December Daily. I’d like to finish this this month so that I can really start on some of my scrapbooking catch up goals.
  3. Project Life. I’d like to do June 2019.
  4. 4 new Montessori trays. Should I revisit the snow theme from last January, or pull out our Valentine’s Day stuff early… decisions decisions.
  5. Girl Scouts. I need to map out our spring semester, and I need to plan our meetings for January. I also need to deal with cookies.
  6. Blog! I’d love to write, hmmm… 6 blog posts?
  7. Butterfly/ Caterpillars. I need to make some serious progress on the applique, and I need to finalize the design for the embroidery so I can get started on that.
  8. 5 bags of trash gone. January always makes me want to get rid of all of the things!
  9. Plan with Kate. Kate wanted to get a planner! Naturally I was all over this. We sat down on Monday and set them up together and it was so fun! I’m hoping this is a good tool for Kate and I’d love it to be a habit for her before she starts middle school next year. So my plan is for us to sit down every Sunday and set up the next week.
  10. 10k steps a day. I know better than to set a goal for working out 3 times a week, but I’m hoping I can ease myself into better habits by starting with walking every day. Fingers crossed!

And goodness, that’s 2 posts in a row that are just a wall of text with no pics! I’ll try to make the next post a little bit more interesting! lol.
