Goal 1- I've got big plans to move into a smaller apartment in the near future, so I need to downsize my life as much as possible. Right now I have a two bedroom apartment for just myself, which is much too big and I've spent the better part of two years filling it with fun Goodwill finds. While I don't want to get rid of all my wonderful vintage finds, I do feel a little cramped and need to rid myself of the things that just aren't that special. Also, I've got to come up with $100 worth of "hard goods" to donate to my Junior League's rummage sale in the spring. All this means I need to organize and downsize!
Goal 2- I want this Christmas to be all about handmade or locally produced presents. To this end, I'm trying to make as many gifts as possible, especially for those in my life that already have everything they need or they have to money to buy whatever they want. Making gifts will also allow me to use up some random craft supplies, and so, helping out with Goal 1! For these wonderful family and friends, I plan on making the gifts. or buying fun consumable gifts, such as honey, jams, or such things. And if I am unable to make a gift, or a handmade gift would be inappropriate, I'm going to try and buy something handmade from a local artist, Etsy, or buying fun consumable gifts, such as honey, jams, or such things.
Goal 1 for this week will be to clear out and organize all my bathroom/ beauty products. I have a good size restroom with plenty of storage space and I've let this wonderful amount of room allow me to hold on to things that I'm no longer using and have no plan to ever use again. In addition to all the space in the restroom, I have a big plastic box full of travel size bottles and random soaps that I am clearly not using, as I store it in my bedroom closet, which is out so sight and out of mind. This box will meet its end over the course of the week.
Goal 2 for this week will be to finish one cross stitch ornament for my Grammy for Christmas. My grandparents have everything they could ever need and they can buy whatever they need when they need it, making gift giving very difficult. So this year, Grammy will be getting ornaments. I've finished one, and started another, but have been distracted by other craft projects, so this week I plan on finishing at least one. They are small patterns, and really should not take much time. I think I'm going to make between 3-5, depending on how my craft supplies hold out because I'd like to make them without having to buy any supplies.
Here is the first one that I have finished the cross stitch part, I just need to finish the ornament part.
Yay for goals! Hopefully I'll be successful in getting them done.
