Expectations Update

The year is already a quarter of the way over. Can you believe it? Time seems to be flying by faster and faster. I wish it would slow down just a little and let me catch my breath.

I thought I would take the time to review my expectations for the year.

1. Complete 3 quilts for family. -  Not off to a great start here. I have one that needs quilted for my daughter and her husband. I have the Christmas Lemonade Quilt that I will probably send to a sibling. Then there are a couple of others that need finished. So this is still do able.
2. Buy a long arm. -  This one is done. YEA!!!! It is set up and I am starting to learn to use it. I am not getting as much time to work with it as I would like.
3. Organize my studio. - This is well on it's way. The walls have been painted, things have been moved around, and the long arm is set up. Just need to find places for things.
4. Sew/quilt for 20 minutes a day. -  Some days are good and some not so good. For a month, while I was was working on the studio, I didn't sew at all. Today, I sewed for a couple for hours. 
5. Work fewer unpaid hours. - This isn't always in my control. Right now It is not happening. We are short staffed again. I am training again and so my days will be longer than I like.
6. Blog weekly. -  I have done this all but 2 weeks since I set the expectations. It isn't always very informative but it does happen.
7. Document quilts. - I am working on the creating a label for my quilts.
8. Use labels - I am working on creating some. When I finish a quilt I will use them.

So not too bad for the first quarter. I have plenty of room for improvement but feel like I have made some progress. I think I am doing pretty good. Forward progression is what it is all about.

How do you feel about your goals, resolutions or expectations?
