Random Goals

I'm putting a couple other goals in a separate post, just some things I'd thought about doing for a few years but never got around to doing.

1.  Delete photos from computer:  I keep all my pics.  Even the blurry ones.  Why?  Dunno, really.  But every month I think I'll work on 20 folders (they're done by date) and get rid of the excess.

2.  Catalog tea:  We have a nice collection of tea.  Ok, too much tea.  Mostly loose-leaf, and some of it getting older.  So I want to go through it, get an idea of what we have, throw out anything too old, and clean that basket up a bit!  (Yeah, only a basket.)

3.  Get rid of almost-finished/needs fixing bag:  I have a bag of knit projects that either need to be blocked, fixed, ends woven in, etc.  I no longer consider a project finished if it isn't blocked/ends woven in, but these are from before that.

4.  Catalog inks:  Got a lot of those, too, and it would be nice to know what we have without looking through them all.

5.  Clean up filing:  Shred the old income tax papers and other things that have been piling up.

6.  Put away needles:  Uh, yeah, gotta get on that.  I have a plastic container where I put all my now-empty circulars, but they actually belong in a receipt folder (one of the plastic ones from Walmart).  I need to 'file' them away properly.

7.  Obviously, pare down the WIPs.

No timelines here.  I'm not that insane.  Let's see what I can do this year.

I didn't do a lot of knitting (or anything else) this month, so no goals reached.  I'm moving the armwarmers to next Christmas because stress is a killer (and who needs that, eh?).

December Goals:  Tyson Hat to completion.

So, new year, huh?  I have no resolutions.  None.  But I'll still do monthly goals, they actually kinda work for me.

December Goal completed, albeit three days before the 'deadline'.

January Goals:  Make sure all WIPs are in Ravelry and here.  Finish the Leaf Scarf and one sock (notice I didn't specify 'pair').  Also, decide what to do with Parlour Cat project.
