November was a crazy busy month! Lots and lots going on the last few weeks, but I managed to sail through.
Bump up my inventory to 75 hoops.I did it! This was a big stretch but I managed to hit 75 a full week before my first show of the season and ended up with more than 80. Patting myself on the back for that one!Create 5 new designs.I did it! I honestly was a bit worried about managing this one since it’s hard to think about new concepts when you’re in production mode, but I managed to create six new designs. Whew!Host my inaugural Craft Club.Done! Hoping to regroup after the holidays.Schedule my last days of PTO.Done!Try a new podcast.I’ve been listening to Dolly Parton’s America the last few weeks and loving it.
5/5. I truly can’t believe I knocked all these out! And I didn’t even have a meltdown doing it. High fiving a million angels.
December is one of my favorite months, but every year I seem to ride the line between holiday FOMO and burnout a bit too closely. This year, I’m keeping these goals light so I can just enjoy.
- Break out the plastic canvas. It sounds so silly but making little plastic canvas villages is so fun and relaxing to me. It’s part LEGO, part stitching and part old lady craft.
- Make my chocolate babka. Did you hear? It’s on the cover of Taste of Home, and it’s just the thing for the holidays.
- Have a cozy, seasonal day home with Michael. We’ve got a day slated to stay home and enjoy the season together. I’m looking forward to it!
- Don a fancy Christmasy getup. I found my perfect blue velvet dress last year, but I’m always open to something else over the top!
- Make my “Spirits of Christmas” hoops. Last year, at the eleventh hour, I had this great idea to make a series of ornament-sized hoops inspired by my favorite Bob’s Burgers Christmas song. I didn’t get very far, but I really want these on my tree. Gotta make them a priority!
Alright, December. I’m ready for you!
