February's Layout in My Bujo

First I want to thank you all for the well wishes on my eye surgery, Want you to know it all went well and I am writing this without glasses. A little fuzzy but will get better with each passing day. It's funny tho cause I find myself trying to reach for the top of my head as though my glasses are there.  I am so pleased so far with getting the multi-focal lenses in place of the mono-focal lenses. I think it was a good choice for me. Now I wanted to show how much the layout in my Bullet Journal has change in the month of January. Been only doing this Bullet Journal setup for tasks and planning since November. Loving it and the fun part is finding the layout that works the best. To see each week improving.   I started the year out with my daily spread looking like this, I've blurred it so nothing too personal can be read. Hope you still can get the idea. tasks on one side and journaling on the other. This is why I like the bullet journal, the flexibility to ha

What's Up

Well after writing down my tasks of things to do today and prioritizing them, which I put sewing as one of the top three, as you hopefully can see there. I am loving this daily spread. I have it down to a page a day and I can change the color to fit my mood or liking.  I am going to work on at least the blocks in month 8 of the Farmer's wife 30 samplers quilt BOM from Sager Creeks Quilt Shop.  But up on the design wall I have some more of my Quilty 365 circles. Which were from a fabric that had Thomas the train and friends images on them.  The boys are big fans of trains and Thomas. And the last two corner blocks been appliqué down for the Words to Live By quilt I'm working on. All I have left to appliqué now is the center block Later today I need to prep the Pea Ridge Lily quilt top that is getting sent off to a group of hand quilters to be worked on for me. There are so many quilts that I would preferred to have h

How I set Up My Bullet Journal

I have been working on setting up my journal. Besides that I have been thinking about how and what I thought about showing. This method I learn about and now hooked on, is called Bullet Journal. There are at least 5 things I am so amorous about this. First is the simplicity of it. It can as minimalist as the way the original creator design. To see how he set his up, go here to  his Blog.  Now I have taken the basics from him but added some lists (collections) I need and added a few other layouts I thought were useful.  Second thing is the flexibility I have. I have already change my mind on a couple thing since I started. I was tracking my food on my dailies  but now I've given a hold spread to my weekly tracking and incorporating my menu planning. So if I feel that one thing I'm doing is not working I have the flexibility to change and try something new. Third is how creative you can be if you wish. I've added different colo

Evolution of a Lister

I have kept lists of things to do, things to remember, just lists and more lists for a very long time. I would keep my first lists just on scraps of paper. Then when I started college it was on note pads. Then when I started teaching  that notepad got clipped onto a clipboard. I did that for years probably at least 15 years.   I bought a padded folding clipboard portfolio  And then would carry that around on occasion but mainly kept it at work or at home. I found it kind of big and cumbersome to haul around with me all the time. I would keep my sheets of lists for a while but then after sometime I would have the pile of tattered pages, what a mess. So I would just throw them away. I also during this time had a journal. I started keeping one when I was a teenager and continue this. I would do really well on keeping up with entries in my journal but of course there would be times I wouldn't have anything written. And that would be normal. But when I star
