Snowflake Challenge #12 - Goals

[smallhobbit]

I set my goals during April, so the first half is more of an update, but I've added a note of my aims for 2023 in various areas as well. snowflake_challenge  

Goal No 1: To use dates without specific commitments profitably

As I said in my October review, this was set when I expected more free days each week.  Now, I normally have one day during the week without specific commitments, plus some Saturdays.  Which means that my weekday is used for catching up, generally admin tasks, and extra writing/course following/crafting.  Saturday is more of an unstructured day, as suits the weekend.


Goal No 2: To do a couple of extra crafting activities a month (or one large one)

Having spent the autumn months on Christmas crafting of various sorts, I now have rather less to do.  Not that I'm forced to do crafts, but there is an attraction to stitching cards, knitting little presents etc.  I was given a papercraft kit for Christmas and I'm working at that, which currently counts.


Goal No 3: Continue updating my blog posting

Snowflake has been good for this, but I think I shall just ease back on little so I don't feel obliged to post.


All of these goals are somewhat vague, so as I start to consider what I might decide on for goals from the beginning of May, I think one of my aims will be to set more tangible goals.

My other aims are:

• Written word count for the year of 115,000
• Goodreads challenge of 75 books read
• Complete the J H Dearle Golden Lily cross stitch which I began at the beginning of the month and start Klimt's The Kiss

I'm also finding snowflake challenge to be a bit overwhelming. Thank goodness it isn't a 'post every day' thing, but every other day still doesn't really give enough time to reply to everyone's posts and do the challenge and do anything else.

I like the idea of one goal being to set more tangible goals! I think I might have to adopt that one too :)

I opt-in to the challenges I like and ignore the others.

Having a tangible goal is good because you can see how you're doing.

You have been very crafty, I think! Glad you're using your time wisely :) and look forward to seeing the progress on the cross stitch.

Lots of craft! I still spend time just doing online jigsaws etc, but there has to be some downtime. The cross stitch is progressing far faster than I expected, but I think that's because the month started quietly - it's now busier so I have less time to stitch.

Ooh! A Klimt cross-stitch would be lovely!

[smallhobbit]

This one should be a real challenge. I stitched the Country Garden/Sunflowers one, a couple of years ago

Wow! Amazing :)

It took me about 20 months - thank you :)

I think these sound reasonable.
