Non-Sewing/Embroidery Goal January 2022 Update

In this post, I stated a goal that I want to achieve this year; a goal that has nothing to do with sewing or embroidery.

I shared that I intend to organize hundreds of Hawaii vacation photos from 2016 and make a memory photo book.

Progress is slow; I sort through a few at a time, and they need editing. It is okay to be slow…I am moving the project forward.

In the comments, some of you also said that you had non-sewing/embroidery goals.

Are you moving forward with your goals; even if it is slow?

Tell me your progress in the comment section. I really do enjoy hearing from you!

Non-Sewing/Embroidery Goal January 2022

Other than sewing related goals, I do have another type of goal for this month.

In 2016, my husband and I, our children and grandchildren took a fantastic trip to Oahu, Hawaii.

Waikiki Beach Oahu 2016

I want to organize those hundreds of photos that we all took and shared with each other.

With the help of Snapfish, or Shutterfly, I want to create a memory photo book from favorite photos.

Anyone else as slow as I am at organizing?

In the comments, tell me what non-sewing related goal you have set for yourself (if any).

Carry On!

Focus

I did not finish all that was on my Focus 2020 creative list, but that is okay.  There is no rush; no race.  This list is for personal enjoyment, not a must do, honey-do, get it done errands list.

What doesn’t get done can be carried over or not ever done.  It is okay.

2021 is a very welcome new year, and time to update those creative goals.

I have carried over some, and I have added some.  

I always reserve the option to revamp at any time during the year if I want.  I might change my mind at some point.  I might see ‘squirrels’ that lead me in another direction.

It is okay.  It is my list after all.

I want to play more with embroidery.  I use to do a lot of it, and it is time to bring it back.

So I pulled out two challenging projects that I have had in my stash for some time.

I am not an advanced embroiderer.  Not even close!

These may qualify for the ‘what was I thinking’ category!

Times and Seasons

I also want to continue to enjoy, learn and practice photography.  It is a wonderful creative outlet for me…something that takes me outside to experience God’s creations!

Whatever your creative goals are, may you experience a fantastic new year in 2021!
