June Wrap Up

• Read 5+ books
• “Looks” Madeleine George
• "Gwenhwyfar: The White Spirit" Mercedes Lackey
• "A Night Like This" Julia Quinn
• "The Graverobber's Apprentice" Allan Stratton
• "This is All I Ask" Lynn Kurland   
• Pinterest Challenge: Avocado Ranch Dip, Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls/Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls, 
• Anniversary Date Renaissance Festival, one of my favorites. 
• List white car for sale
• Shelf over loveseat Progress - I picked up two different shelves but I think the bigger one is too big and the smaller one too small. I'm about to just go to get a Disc hanger instead. 
• Cut Pansy Patch pieces
• Take donations to Goodwill
• Finish April Showers/May Flowers II
• Back and baste Procrastination Quilt - Back is made, but any further progress is on pause until I get some more batting. Probably when it goes on sale in another week. 
• Birthday Package - Progress, but I don't think it's quite done. I've got a couple things, but I want something else a little more age appropriate - though I've been assured that for first birthdays empty cardboard boxes might be more appropriate than anything I could make/buy. 
• Welcome Baby C Package
• Snaps for bibs 
• Wash quilt, blanket, hooded towels, bibs, etc. 
• Add something else for the parents
• Finishing touches/wrapping

Some progress, but not as much as I'd like to see. Watching these monthly goals, you'd never know I go to Goodwill multiple times a month for work. But the things in my house just pile up in the living room. It's getting out of hand. Meanwhile, those costumes I kept trying to deliver and finally gave up on? Delivered - and to the person I was hoping would want them! 


This month was very unbalanced - I put in nearly all my work hours in either the first week or the last week of the month. So far, July is shaping up to be a similar schedule, so I've been putting some time into creating a more structured update schedule and work on fun projects schedule. I have never done well with schedules in the past, but I'm still hoping to get things spread a little more evenly across the month (at least the things I can control) instead of cramming eight projects into a single day off.
