2018 Planning

2018 is almost here and I have been giving it a lot of thought to what has happened this year and what next year will bring.

I love new beginnings, whether its mornings, a baby, a new project or a new year. Love the fact its like a start over in some way.
Love to plan and make lists...am a list maker.

But with all that's happened this year I'm feeling uncertain to what I can reasonably plan for this coming year. Have to say it's takes the fun out it. But I will not let it stop me, just has taken me a little longer to figure out what my goal is for 2018 as far as my quilting go. I have some personal ones that I'll keep to myself but do want to share these and join in on the party for the first time and this may keep me focus.

2018 Planning Party at quiltingJETgirl

First of all I will keep it down to a minimum for me. 

1. I'll again track my fabric stash usage, in and out but I am going to start tracking time sewing and quilting. This is mainly out of curiosity. for a while now I just feeling I don't spend much time sewing and so this can help.

2. Will do RSC 18, did not participate this year.

3. These goals will also be part of another, Scrap Attack at Sarah's  Which I pick 12 things or UFO's to do one a month. If I can get one done a month I think I'll be doing good. Now I just have to decide on the 12. I'm close but not finished.

4. I have never done a year review so in 2018 I will and a part of that will be a monthly summary to help me remember.

5. Redo my design wall. Something I've been waiting to do for a few years now.

6. Blog  more often, this month challenge made me realize what I miss. My goal is every other day.

That's the short and sweet of it.

    Doing a monthly blog summary to help you remember and refocus on goals is a really great idea. Thank you so much for sharing and linking up, and I hope that you have a lot of quilting joy in 2018!

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
