I can’t say I got a lot accomplished with my goals this week but maybe I’ll surprise myself.
Home repairs professionally done – New kitchen countertops, rip out over-the-oven microwave and replace with new exhaust hood, trim all fruit trees and cut down all sumac in the hedgerow.
Already booked the tree guy for Spring clean-up!
Home projects done by us – Paint all trim in kitchen, re-paint upper kitchen cabinets, paint ceiling and walls in hallway, finish painting and put up picket pallet fencing, finish painting master bedroom and hang mantle over bed, front porch stained or painted, new brick patio in the backyard.
Nothing done on this goal this week.
Sewing projects – Finish Joyce’s Rose, New curtains for kitchen window, new seat cover for kitchen chair, new curtain over cat’s window seat, Christmas tree skirt, finish winter and summer season x-stitch projects.
I got quite a bit more stitched this week on Joyce’s Rose and we have an update this Sunday.
Read 30 books (It’s my goal every year)
No books finished this week.
Take at least 2 mini vacations and see my step-daughter’s new house in NC.
This is a goal for warmer months.
Garden goals – raise 500 lbs of produce, new kitchen garden in front and new fruit garden in back, compost all dug and reset, raised bed garden re-imagined.
Nothing worked on this week.
Exercise somehow every single day concentrating most on core and pelvic floor and mobility.
Only one time again this past week.
Get all of my Etsy listings listed by March 31st so I can enjoy my garden in the Spring and summer months.
Six listings up this past week!
Explore the Western NY Antique Trail (Yes, there is such a thing).
Not this weekend!
Explore at least 3 local walking/biking trails.
Warmer weather for this goal.
Sell 300 listings on Etsy this year.
I sold 2 listings this past week 287 to go 🙂
Church goals – Six thrift sales this year, Work on baptism records and historical info, work on getting our church info out there for weddings, one historical themed event/fundraiser this year.
I started to get my butt moving on organizing everything for the Thrift Sale on the 10th. I spent an hour working there last night and two hours after I got home untangling a box of necklaces. Fun!
Pay off one of the two credit cards.
No more progress on the credit cards this month but read the full post here: https://marymargaretripley.com/2024/01/19/not-impressed-with-our-debt-january-2024/
That’s it this time! See I didn’t think I got much accomplished. How are you doing with your goals? – MM
