An Update on the Dreaded To Do List . . .

Tuesday was February 1st in the Real World but in My World it was only December 24th. I've been working away at my list this week and here's what I have accomplished:

December 24th - ~~work on Sketch Book 1/2 hour~~
December 25th - ~~work on Sketch Book 1/2 hour~~
                            ~~edit manuscript 1/2 hour~~
December 26th - ~~work on Sketch Book 1/2 hour~~
                            ~~edit manuscript 1/2 hour~~

                            ~~edit manuscript 1/2 hour~~
December 28th - ~~work on Sketch Book 1/2 hour~~
                            ~~edit manuscript 1/2 hour~~
December 29th - ~~work on Sketch Book 1/2 hour~~
                            ~~edit manuscript 1/2 hour~~
December 30th - ~~work on Sketch Book 1/2 hour~~
                            ~~edit manuscript 1/2 hour~~
December 31st - work on Sketch Book 1/2 hour
                            ~~edit manuscript 1/2 hour~~
                            complete 1 scrapbook layout

It took 3 hours to complete this layout because I had this crazy idea to cut out lots of flowers and letters. I spent time working on my Queen Anne's tablecloth and a couple of hours on my sweater. Yes, I finally started it last night. I love the yarn I am using -- Berroco Comfort knitting worsted -- so soft and pretty silver grey. And just when I think I know everything, I had to learn two new stitches to make the ribbing . . . front post double crochet and back post double crochet. I wish you could see the ribbing better in the photo. But isn't it a pretty grey?

And of course lots of housework -- laundry, tidied all the rooms, and dishes. And I have managed to blog every day and take at least one photo every day.

So In My World it is now December 31st . . . Happy New Year!!

Annual Organization Challenge Week #2 How did you make out with last week's challenge? Did you find your work table? Here's this week's challenge: Your challenge this week is to S.P.A.C.E. your paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, and all those SCRAPS! SORT: Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH PURGE: bag up, and assign a price to paper bundles that you want to SELL at a garage sale or online, and put the bags in the garage sale box.
