Revisiting resolutions

It’s a bad sign that I had to re-read my post to remind myself of my resolutions.

Let’s take a look at how I am doing.

Have a clean and organized craft room by January 31st.
Well, things are not ‘clean and organized’ so much as they are ‘a hell of a lot better than they were’. I shifted some things around, but I still have more work to do. I do have a proper jewelry work station and I have been making things, so progress has been made.

Learn how to work sewing machine by Feb 28th. (know how to turn it on, thread it, stitch in a straight line, etc.)
This isn’t going to happen this month. I need to finish up my craft room and get to work on jewelry before I do anything else. Learning the sewing machine is a want, not a need.

Work on cohesive festival setup to be used in spring and going forward by March 31. (This will have to be done in collaboration with other half of Wanderland) Focus on portable, beautiful, sustainable, easy to set up and break down.

This has to happen – April is going to be crazy, and we need a good setup. I already have some ideas and having a deadline and someone to whom I am accountable really helps.

Ongoing goals:

1. Put 10% of each paycheck in to savings. Adjust based on personal economy. Always put *something* in every check.
2. Take a picture. (This is where hopeful me would tack “every day” at the end of this, but I’ll just start with one. Take a picture.)
3. Continue to work on bringing the things I like best about myself to the forefront, and work on resolving/understanding/repairing the things I don’t.
4. Do not put off cleaning till tomorrow what will take 10 damn minutes today, for goodness sake.

1. I am not putting 10% away, but I am putting something away every check.
2. I have taken some pictures. Not daily, but certainly some.
3. Work in progress.
4. Trying to get better at this. Am possibly a little better than I was.

That’s it for now. Things are a little crazy thanks to factors beyond my control, but I suppose that’s just how life is.
