Sunday, January 3, 2016

Today is the first Sunday of 2016, January 3 and I am starting everything fresh.

I have set up my planner for the year and decided what I hope to accomplish personally and for others.

I don't believe in "New Year Resolutions" because they set you up for failure.  After all, a goal without a plan is just a wish.  so I set up my plan.

Personally, I plan to grow as a human and in spirit.  Enough said about that.

Helping others includes my family and some volunteer work when I figure out what I want to volunteer for.  I will be adding to this weekly so will record what I decide and what I actually do.

For the grandkids Hope Chests I have several projects in my planner...Christmas linens, bedding, etc. along with cookware, flatware, and the like.  Even if they never get married they will still have the necessary items to set up their own homes.  Even my grandsons, because EVERYONE should be able to take care of themselves.

I will put up pictures of my projects as I get to them.  I will include directions as well as the finished projects.

Currently I am working on table runners and placemats for Christmas.  This is what they are supposed to look like when I am finished.


These are the directions from "The Great Christmas Crochet Book" published in 1981.




This is where I am on the table runner.


I am also going to crochet a slouch hat for one of my daughters' birthday.  I will also post that when I get the yarn and begin it.

The planner that I have decided to use is found at - http://www.theconfidentmom.com/weekly-household-planner/.  I have printed it out and am using a 3" pressboard binder as my cover.  I have several of them and use them for many projects, including my pantry inventory, my library inventory (we have over 1,000 books), my preparation information as well as miscellaneous other books and projects. Being organized really helps keep you on track and that is one of my major plans for this year; to stay on track.

Next week I will have created a more organized layout for this.
