I am a woman of lists. Order – that’s what I like. I know what I have to get done, I prioritize, I maximize efficiency. And then I crash for awhile in a state of complete chaos before reorganizing my thoughts, replenishing my energy, and starting it again.
I write lists for everything. Groceries, errands, cleaning, knitting projects (by order of most importance) and crafting goals. Right now, I have an ongoing list for what needs to be done before I go to Denmark (cause, you know, I leave for Denmark in 6 days!). And, it is extremely satisfying that over the past few days I have managed to cross off several big projects on that list.
1: I finished the 2 afghan squares I needed:
March – decreases
April – cabled motif
2: I finished the second hat for a client. The order was 2 hat and scarf sets in his favorite team colors. You say Co. Kerry the other day, this is Co. Mayo:
I am currently about 1/3 off the way finished with the corresponding scarf, but I wanted to finish the hats before I left.
3: Paint wings, since I have a show on April 30th and then almost continuous shows after that.
These are not quite finished. The painting is finished, but obviously I need to add the ribbons and embellishments, which I will *hopefully* complete by Saturday.
4: I finished my taxes and sent them off. Just waiting now.
5: Sewed a ton of coffee cozies:
These do still have to go on etsy, although some of them are up now. here, here, and here
So, what’s left?
Well,
1: I have to make tons of plushstaches for the Other Brother. They move like wild fire!
2: Update etsy with all of the cool stuff I’m producing
3: finish the wings
4: clean the house
5: pack
6: pick out a travel project. Or two. or 3…
7: Print more business cards (hopefully using my new logo)!
I can hardly contain my excitement. I love traveling, and this totally beats road tripping to Virginia for the holidays.
Is there anything I should do/see there?? I will be in Arhus, Denmark for 2 weeks, and spending a weekend in Montpellier, France.
