    Is the scarf done? I am busy knitting dish cloth orders right now, once again I had 3 tubs knitted up before Christmas and once again I am almost out and people are still ordering. Not that I am complaining but I am desiring a change of pace. Thinking I might try a spiral scarf in the new year.

      It’s long enough to be “done”, but I think I’m going to add some more to it over the next few weeks because I think I’ll like it better if it’s longer. But I told myself that I could start the embroidery project, too, since my hands were itching to do something in addition to knitting — especially since I’m such a slow knitter! :)

      Do you have pictures of your dish cloths on your blog? I’d love to see them and be inspired!

  • Carolynn @mylittlebitoflife.com December 03, 2012 at 08:52 pm

    Here’s to a productive week! :)

  • Kimberly Staton December 03, 2012 at 09:11 pm

    Would love to see a picture of the scarf!!

    You did great on your goals for this week. I only was able to accomplish half of my goals this week. We are all sick with a cold and so that really slowed me down this week. A year ago I wasn’t even setting weekly goals so I am making progress.

    What will you be doing for your embroidery project? I am just finishing up with a crochet project for a Christmas present. Then I will have to start in making my Christmas cookies and candy for my next project.

    Can you remove my link #9 in the linky above. I put the wrong link in and I added the corrected one now. Thanks

    I don’t think I’ve added my link before, although I’ve now been doing weekly goals for several weeks.

    It has been so energizing to write down what I hope to accomplish and then attempt to plan my days accordingly!

    I’ve limited myself to 5 goals each week because I am in a chaotic stage of life (new mom to four). However, each week I have been becoming more and more productive!

    Already today I’ve accomplished 3 of my goals!!!

    Thanks Crystal!

    I haven’t done a great job with my goals in the last few months with our move. But I’m working on getting back on track. Posting them is great accountability. I’m also trying a different way by breaking them down by day. We’ll see how that works for me.

  • Pam@behealthybehappywellness December 04, 2012 at 08:56 am

    Great job on your goals everyone! I shared my November re-cap. Tomorrow I’ll be posting my goals for December – along with a re-cap of how I’m doing on my annual goals.

  • Nicole December 04, 2012 at 09:08 pm

    Wow, you got a lot done last week! Way to go! It is always nice to see others work hard, inspires me to do even better! =)

  • Amber December 06, 2012 at 03:52 pm

    Would it be okay to use your goal graphic with a linkback?
