Hello! Well, this week's Creative Goals update is on time, but it's going to have to be a quick one. The Leopard and I are still very busy moving out of our flat and packing for our trip. We fly to Bucharest, Romania bright and early tomorrow morning! So. Excited! But also a bit stressed because there's still lots to do!
So how did I do with the two goals I set myself last Tuesday? I managed one out two. Not great, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I just wasn't able to make the card for my former manager. Instead, I thanked her in person and said the nice things I wanted to put in the card. I think she appreciated it and I know she wouldn't have expected a card anyway.
I did manage to do a few rows of knitting on Sunday morning though. I needed to focus on something that didn't involve organising or packing for a bit. The pouch I started a few weeks ago is finally coming along!
I made a bunch of mistakes, but luckily the yarn hides them reasonably well. I figure I need a another five or so rows and I'm going to add little holes for a drawstring. Unfortunately, this project has now been packed away and I won't be able to work on it until I get back to Canada in early April. But I promise an update on it then.
As for future short-term goals, I've decided to set a few for the trip. We'll be gone for four weeks and I know we'll be seeing all sorts of beautiful and inspiring things, so I'm going to do my best to record them in two ways - with my sketch book and with my journal. Hopefully by doing this, I'll be able to capture ideas for new creative projects, as well as a good memory of our trip.
I'm also bringing some yarn and needles and will try to knit myself I cuff bracelet because I've always wanted one. We'll see how that goes!
As I'm sure you can guess, blogging won't be my first priority while I'm on vacation. I've decided to suspend the Friday I'm in Love feature for March, but I will try to write a couple of nft project posts in advance before we leave and post them throughout the month so that you don't forget about me completely. :) And if I am able to write little posts about what we're seeing and doing on our trip, I certainly will - especially if there are any craft related items!
Alright - must get going. Hope you have a great month!
