One Monthly Goal January & To Do Tuesday

 My One Monthly Goal for January is to make this into a finished bag.  I managed to get it traced and the applique' glue basted.  The stitching is the easy and relaxing part for me.

You may see a few of these popping up as several of us are all trying to work on it.

There a few other things I would like to accomplish this month as well.  One is to do the math planning for a new row quilt I want to start and make a row each month for.  It will be Australian and New Zealand themed.

To Do Tuesday:

This week's goals:

I have one more block to make for my $ Building Block of the Month and three swap blocks to start and finish as well.

Three of the four pineapple blocks for $ Building Blocks were completed this week.  The kit was meant to make all of the non-white fabrics all the same fabric.  I prefer this scrappier look, so I scrounged through all my leftover kit pieces to create these.

1. My goal is to make one block a day the rest of the week.  I made the three above Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

2. Do some hand work on my bag

3.  "move" every day.  What I mean by that is to get a little exercise in whatever form I can fit in.

4. My daughter has challenged me to 1,000 hours of outdoor time.  This is a real challenge for me because I am super busy indoors.  Just this week looked like this: Monday - work all day then help my husband outside for 2 hours measuring for tin on the hay barn and cutting down/cleaning up a tree, sewing a block.  Tuesday - work all day, get my hair done afterwards which takes 3 hours including driving over and back, book club after that, get home at 9:30 pm for the first time, sew 30 minutes, and go outside with my hubby to help him sort bolts for 40 minutes.  Late to bed. Wednesday - work all day, come home and help husband outside for an hour, go with him to a boys church activity for an hour (ages 8-11), cook dinner, sew, blog.  Tomorrow - work all day, get my nails done (takes a couple of hours), clean the church with my husband, help him outside, sew, clean.  

I will look forward to a weekend at home.

My goal is to get some outside time.

5. Sew 15 min a day

6.  Text a picture to my family in the photo challenge.  This week it is:

Since I am afraid of heights and I had to go up super high on the fork lift to assist my husband in measuring for tin, I am thinking  I may have to go back up to get this photograph.

7. Daily journaling
