October Goals (report on September goals)

This is a bit early but the next few days (week) is going to be insanely
busy, so I may as well hit "send" while I'm here checking my progress.

September Goals:
* Work through my rotation once, maybe twice. (I think twice is pushing
it as far as hours, but we'll see.)
DONE (about 1.75 times)

* Clean up my needlework cupboard (the clutter is constantly changing,
so I don't feel guilty about the "mess" but it's the first thing a
person sees when walking in my front door.)
DONE

* Maintain the clean cupboard.
DONE

* Kit up the Little Venus freebie as my next BART (public transit)
project. Start it if/when Santa is done.
DONE It's looking great so far on Blue Diamonds Silkweaver lugana.


My goal completion reward remains the same, since I didn't complete last
month's goals:
Doing the little goldwork kit from DK Designs that I picked up at CATS.

October Goals:
* Find and fix error on Ghosties and Goulies.
* Bead and frame Love Will Keep Us Together.
* Start Dance of the Winter Solstice ('cause I've got too much confetti
in my current rotation)
* Rotate:
Scarlet Unspoken 5 hours
Minstrel 3 hours (skewed due to a Stitch-a-Long)
Dance of the Winter Solstice 10 hours
Green Man 5 hours
Minstrel 10 hours
Not Forgotten 10 hours
(rinse, repeat (changing the first Minstrel to 10 hours on the next
rotation))

Since I was away at the end of August and beginning of September, I
didn't post any September goals. My August goal was to try to find five
hours for stitching anything. I managed to get about three hours in
while on vacation in August. Other than mending, I did no needlework in
September.

Goals for October: MOVE to New House.
Set up office/hobby room
Work on stash inventory
Clean up old house to sell or rent

I managed to get about three hours in
while on vacation in August. Other than mending, I did no needlework in
September.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I moved the beginning of August and the days
are still just whizzing by.

However, a friend and I are planning a 'craft day' this month where we are
going to sit down and try some new things together. She has developed a passion
for crazy quilts, and we will be doing some small experimental projects. I
think that is as far as I am going to get this month. Otherwise I'm just going
to finish painting, and get a bed into the garden so I can winter some
perennials. And finish moving all of my boxes out of storage.
