Taking stock

It doesn’t seem possible that we’re more than half-way through the year already, but here we are. There are a lot of people who take stock and make ‘resolutions’ at the beginning of the year, but I like to do that here, too, at a little more than the half-way point. Does it seem silly? Perhaps. However, if I take stock now, it helps me stay on track to finish some of my goals for the year. I’ve never made New Year’s resolutions, but I do keep track of what projects I have started, am still working on, and those I have completed.

If I don’t take stock now, I might start another 3 projects and never finish the ones I’m currently working on. It’s not out of the question that -SQUIRREL! – I can become easily side-tracked. SHINY OBJECT!

Do you set goals for yourself… fitness, personal, artistic, financial?

My goal is to finish quilting all the Jazz quilts, take a class or do an online workshop again this year, and quilt/bind the crazy circular quilt, above. I also have to finish cleaning up the landscape that was storm damaged. Maybe a start from my lilac bush can replace this pear tree? It's a good thing I live in an area with long winters – otherwise I might never finish outside projects!
