Another few weeks, and I am behind again. This summer has been trying, I tell ya. I was hoping I would be a more organized person this year, and lo and behold almost 3/4 of the year is gone. Not sure how that has happened, but time is going at warp speed right now. Next week the kids will be in school, so we will have their studies in addition to two high school sports and one club sport. I’m sure the fall will go pretty fast.
My accomplishments
Focus Photo –
Just this one from a few weeks ago. I don’t think I picked up the camera at all last week.
Sewing –
- I have a couple of sewing blogs that are in process, but nothing to post yet. I didn’t sew really at all in the last few weeks. Just burned out, and not really a lot of energy to get in there. I did work on an accessory that turned out pretty neat, but that will be for showing later.
- I’m hoping to work on some things this week, but not holding out much hope right now. So much to do before school starts next week. I need to take a few days off of work so I can focus and catch up on some personal stuff.
House cleaning –
- Barely keeping up, I tell ya.
Time with family –
- We have actually been Netflix binging the Marvel series they have. Not exactly quality time, but they are pretty tired with their 2-a-day practices the last few weeks. This gives us something to do together and relax. I need to figure out something crafty to do while watching…other than drawing. I can’t cut much with my Silhouette, since it is pretty loud after being dropped on the floor. I do need to work on our 2017 family album and start on our 2018 one, too. Last year I got it done on Labor Day weekend, which also had a sale that weekend. Maybe that is what I will do next weekend during our next binge watching session.
Health, exercising, making healthy meals –
- Exercised 3 times the week before and 1 time last week. My goal was three times on the elliptical, so hopefully I will get better. Pretty high weight on the scale again. My knee is bothering me due to my added weight. It’s time to start getting serious about a diet. I think cutting carbs is going to be very, very hard!
Creative Design –
I draw while watching the shows, so I actually got quite a bit drew up. I was working on some skulls, and then just some of the easier swirly stuff I do.
I did a lot of work on a memorial tattoo for a friend for her son last week. That is what I spent a lot of my free time on. I think she liked it, but we will see if she wants any changes. I think it turned out pretty well, but not sure how well it translates to a tattoo, having none myself.
Reading –
Just some re-reading in a few spare moments. Not much time to devote to it last week.
This week is going to be a lot of running around again. I really want to get a few patterns drafted up for my project in October. I need to work out a lot more, too. Hopefully my to-do list gets done.
