I have to get my August To Do list written down as I have so much to get done before the craft show in November and Christmas in December. I have physical therapy and homeschooling biting into my time. Along with all the other things that Mom’s do! I have been stuck on several projects lately and also struggling with reaching the goals I have set for this year.  It is interesting that right as I am thinking all of these things two blog posts from some people that I try to remember to read on a regular basis. One is Michael Hyatt and the other is Dave Ramsey. Today, I’m going to lean pretty hard on Dave’s post about 4 Ways to Reach your Goals Before the End of the Year!
1. Write it Down
2. Keep is Specific and Measureable
3. Set a Time Limit
4. Own it.
These are great and they are the basis of this week’s to do list!
- Sew tags on all cup cozies without tags
- sew tags on completed hats
- sew tags on completed scarves
- sew tags on  other completed items.
- Sew buttons on completed cup cozies
- Cut out needed fabric pieces for cup cozies
- get hair cut (it is so wild and bushy that I can’t stand it.)
- make menu and grocery list.
- rearrange furniture in living room
If you noticed there is not one little bit of crochet on this list. I am pampering my wrists as I get carpal tunnel symptoms when I crochet too much. I will crochet later in the month when a loved one has surgery. It will be easy to take projects with me for my time sitting with them at the hospital. Here are a few photos of some crochet items that I finished up while recovering from surgery.
Lovely flannel receiving blankets and new crochet baby blankets ready for ChocolatesBabyShop!
We have had some lovely sales and I am teaching my new assistant how to package each order. It is taking a little extra time but she is doing a beautiful job. (This translates into I am training our youngest daughter to help me in the shop in return for cold, hard cash!) She is doing a great job and seems to enjoy it. I desperately needed someone to help with this as I was not getting around very quickly when she started working for me.
Talk to you later,
Karen
