Self-Improvement
I've decided I have way too many W.I.Ps in my bin, I didn't think to take a photo of it before I started on it. But I think there were about 10 projects in there.
A sweater for my daughter
A dishcloth
2 small blankets
A glove
A bootie
A prem Hat
A 1-year-old
1 cowl
2 scarfs
A lot of these projects just needed sewing up and ends weaving in. So today for me is what I do every now and again "Sew it Sunday". Where my main priority is sewing up finished projects and weaving ends in.
All that's left in my W.I.P bin now is 2 scarves (that need finishing), the glove, the baby sweater and the bootie.
My Daughter sporting the slouchy beanie I created (she didn't want to keep on long enough to take better photos)
Day 15 Reflections:
- Write about a time you accomplished something that seemed impossible (or very difficult at the time)
When I was 15-16, I was writing a lot. I joined in challenges like 30-day-script (April - no longer available) challenge NaNoWriMo (Novemeber - Which I still do). That year I had no inspiration at all in April other than the last 3 days, in which I managed to write 106 pages of a script. My goal was 90 pages, the challenge was 100 pages. I was very happy with it. In November ( the main goal is 50,000 words, mine was 25,000) I completed 25,642 words (I can't believe I still remember that) anyway that novel got published. So I was very happy.

- What are some small actions that, if you made them part of your daily routine, would make a positive difference?
Implementing a system with knitting & writing. Something more than just sitting and doing it. I am trying to get my W.I.Ps down so I don't have more than one project on the go. It's not something I want. I want to work on one thing at a time. Not many. I want to see progress, not feeling like I am sitting in the same place.
- Make a list of all your small wins this week.
1) I finally sewed up all the old projects that were sitting in my W.I.P bin
2) I bought some items to repurpose and have almost finished repurposing one project.
3) Brought the needles and Yarn I needed for SPECIFIC projects
4) I am 20 points away on Lincraft to get a $10 voucher
5) I've reorganised my wool again (trust me it needed it)

Day 16
I am trying my best not to start another project, the scarf I am knitting for Logan is slow going I am on the first repeat of 4. Row 3. I am really really banging my head against a brick wall. I can't wait for this to be finished. It needs to be finished as soon as possible. My goal is to have it finished next Sunday.
