October Goals

So, I wasn’t really good at sticking to my goals in September or August, and I’m not really holding my breathe for this month. With having the 24-hour read-a-thon, a lot of craft time is spent on getting that organized and set up and contacting volunteers. However, that isn’t going to stop me from setting some goals. For the most part, my goals are similiar to the ones from the previous months. I will put a bit more focus on Christmas presents and Knitting projects (for the DC Pigskin Party).

September Goals

So, I wasn’t really good at sticking to my goals in August, and I’m not really holding my breathe for this month. With having my mom in country, a lot of craft time is spent on things that are important to her or that she can take back to family. However, that isn’t going to stop me from setting some goals. For the most part, my goals are similiar to the ones from the previous month. I will put a bit more focus on the WIPGO projects. In addition, in terms of months, I consider September, October, and November to be the “Fall” months. So I will be tailoring my season goals towards those months. I’ve decided to make a goal of 1000 stitches per a seasonal goal… HOWEVER, this will be a season long goal, not one that needs to be completed in a single month. If I find that goal isn’t big enough, I will adjust it later in the season. Until then, below are my September goals.

But this is something that I have decided I want to really try to do again. I had forgotten that I used to divide the goals into categories and then use that as a check list.
