Small Goals // April 2019

It turns out not every month is a good month for goals. See how I failed in a big way (and how I’ll try and pick it up for April).

1. Create a game plan for the rest of the KonMari steps (and do part three). I am the worst. I didn’t do this, and the thought now overwhelms me entirely – even though I know having less and being organized will make me feel so much better.
2. Rearrange the living room? Well, I went to West Elm and talked with a very kind designer there. She gave me a new floor plan to consider. I tried it out and it just wasn’t right. I give myself the point for trying.
3. Record a podcast. Nope!
4. Stitch up 15 hoops. Not even close. I think I whipped up about eight.
5. Find a killer birthday dress. The jury is still out on this one. I have one new contender that I’m working with, though I’m not sure if it’ll make the cut.

1/5. My worst ever month for goals. I’m trying to tell myself that it’s OK since I spent a lot of March doing some cool things (seeing Michelle Obama at the Miller High Life Theater comes to mind!). However, I know that I really bungled my time for most of the month.

With Aries season in full swing, more daylight and the optimism that comes with spring, I want to turn it around for April. More stitching! More time outside! Maybe a bike ride or two?

1. Celebrate 30 in style. I’ve got something up my sleeve here!
2. Restock my fabrics. It’s been a while since I’ve done a fabric run. I’ve got a lot of new hoop ideas. They need some new fabrics to go with.
3. Polish up the house. I’m thinking about skipping the paperwork step of KonMari because I’m an organizing heathen. Instead, I’d like to just tackle my craft closet and living room using her methods. You sick of this goal yet? (I am, but I also want a clean home.)
4. Hit the gym 8 times (ideally 10). Back on the horse (as always).
5. Plan a creative retreat for myself. I felt like I didn’t make a lot of time for my stitching this past month. I’ve got three fairs to tackle between now and the end of May. I’m thinking that getting away for a short solo trip might be good for me and my crafting.

Here’s hoping 30 is a good one and that April is a good month for goals!
