12 in 2012 // August Update

August 1st! This summer has flown by. Bailey starts school on the 8th. I have loved having her home with me all summer, but man am I ready for school to start! I have a to do list a mile long, I have no time to work out, and I can't wait to get back into a routine.

I made very little progress on my goals this month, mostly because I've been focusing on B while she's home, but here's the update & some more goodies for ya.



1. Get back to my pre-sickness weight

*sigh* Dealing with medication issues, but I'm on my way towards balancing out my hormones which should help with this battle. 

2. Learn to knit

Still hoping to take the class at JoAnn's. This is probably going to need to happen when B is back in school now. Our summer got busy fast!

3. Re-learn how to sew

Same: A sewing machine will be my next big purchase and then I'll start!

4. Read 60 Books

I'm a reading machine! See my last Bookworm update for reviews :)

5. Get dressed.


I wore a dress twice last week. It felt great!

6. Go to the Grand Canyon

Fall break? Ugh.

7. Finish decorating my home

Rearranged my kitchen and studio...again. Also, I'm painting my front door neon. Kind of obsessed with design lately.

8. Take a photography class Done!

I did it! Read my review of the class I took from Bella Pop HERE.

9. Hit 200 Etsy sales

I'm on track for this now. I re-opened my old 2nd shop as an "outlet." I'm unloading all my clearance stuff from shows online. There are some GREAT deals and I'll be adding often, so keep checking back ;)

Between that shop and getting my main shop back up and running (coming soon!), I should blow 200 out of the water.

I also have a show scheduled in September, October & November!

10. Cook Dinner

I'm kind of a rock star in the kitchen lately, I'm not gonna lie :)

11. Do at least 3 tutorials a month on the blog

I have 2 planned for August. Does planning count, or do I actually have to do them? ugh.

12. Go Green & Garden

I'm obsessed with plants. I've got herbs & succulents down. I'm ready to take on veggies soon. 

How are you doing on your goals?
