Having Another Go at Monday This & That

 I think listing my goals here for last week was a good idea. I usually write them in my homemade planner, but having them where others can see them is sort of motivational.

The pretty pages come from Printables and Inspirations.

Now I just need to learn to make sure my planner goals and blog goals match up. Sometimes they didn't. Of course, sometimes life changes along the way and the planner is easier to re-do.

So, last week's goals:

Homemaking

🏠Type up 4 recipes per day Tuesday - Friday.  Didn't do even one all week. :(

🏠 Design living room bookshelves  Redid my plan for where books should be, so may not need these shelves

🏠 Experiment with dehydrating bananas  Husband loves them; I don't so much

🏠 On Saturday prepare veg tray and bake cookies for church shared lunch  Done; enjoyable fellowship

🏠 Continue indoor salad gardening till Wed, then shut down for vacation Done; will eat them this week

🏠 Find some gluten-free cookies/muffin recipes to try  Nope; probably not going gluten-free after reading "Grain of Truth" by Stephen Yafa

Crafting/Quilting 

🧵 Alter daughter's pants  Not yet done

🧵 Get caught up on Everyday Embroidery  I think so; I did lots anyhow

🧵 Work on Scrappy Leader/Ender  Got it almost done; should be able to finish this week

🧵 Evaulate time required to make a dress for myself; possibly do it  Will probably have to wait

🧵 Choose a recipe for soapmaking and make sure I have the ingredients Huh! Forgot this was listed

Serving Others

💗 Pray more diligently about so many things  Getting there

💗Write letters to A.L. and T.L.  Done and happily got to use my wax seals on envelopes

💗 Choose specific place(s) to send quilt tops (Jo's Country Junction has a list.) Didn't decide yet

Self-education

📚 Continue studies in seed-saving and heirloom gardening - The New Heirloom Garden - Ellen Ecker Ogden, Edible Landscaping - Rosalind Creasy, Saving Our Seeds - Bevin Cohen, The Heirloom Life Gardener - Jere & Emilee Gettle  Got some done

📚 Buy a copy of  No-Waste Kitchen Gardening - Katie Elzer-Peters  Decided not to

📚 Continue reading Reading the Bible with Rabbi Jesus - Lois Tverberg Continued this very good book

📚 Determine when to start indoor seedlings  Will start after vacation

Self-education
