I started to see these lists more as an inspiration and “I’d like to make this” lately instead of a fixed to-do. So, what I’d like to make this month is this:
I’m back from my short trip to another world. I also brought back souvenirs, but that’s for another post.
I really thought I wrote a results-for-July posts before I went that also said that I was actually gone for five days from last Wednesday, but most obviously I didn’t. In consequence to my short-notice leaving for my first LARP since 2008 I didn’t finish any of my projects from July except the dress – which was very different from what I expected (I wanted a light summer’s dress and ended up with the folklore-inspired gown for my new character!). So that’s my resumé for July, and here’s my list for August:

Each and every time when I’m this close to my last lecture of the semester I’m all pins and needles for the holidays. Oh, the things I’ll do and make! I surely will go running at least every second day, I’ll cook and bake every week – no more fast food this year!, I’ll sew enough to start with a whole new wardrobe in October, I’ll finally explore the countryside by bike and I’ll draw and paint like never before.
But let’s face it, the actual holidays look like this:
On the first few mornings I’ll tell myself “Hey, heeey, you’ve been busy all semester long. Take the chance to catch up with your need of sleep. You’ll need it. And then you can think about all the things you want to do.”
Well, I don’t think I have to write it all out, but in the end I’ll just be spending a lot of my time staying in bed while I can’t sleep that long, anyway, watching anime, eating frozen pizza and then wondering about what happened to the three months that should have been there afterwards.
But here’s the thing: When I blog about my plans, at least some people will expect me to do some of the stuff I actually want to do. They will look forward to the recipes and tutorials, the pictures from my walks and the reports from my field trips.
And there’s one thing I hate to do: Disappointing people.
So, here’s a list of a few things I want to do this summer.
Please expect proof and pictures, and please look forward to them. It’s such a big help to me.
Have a great summer!
Oh, I love making lists.
Holidays are just around the corner which means lots of free time to sew and craft. Plus, Scoundrel will be away for several weeks, and as sad as I am about this, it’ll surely be good for my productivity.
As June is to be over in a few hours, this is my résumé list for the five projects I had planned out for this month.
I know it’s a little bit uncommon to post the next list of projects before last month’s result, but I really need better photos with the latter, and I don’t have those yet.
As you can see I really decided to limit my monthly projects down to five per month. For obvious reasons if you take the last two months into account… But I’m really looking forward to the June Projects!
I love how the colours of these fabrics work together ♥
I’ve dragged a lot of the April Projects on to May. As mentioned before, the cosplay was about five projects alone. So I just copied the list, took one down and added four new projects at the end:
I already think that I’ll drag the ren fair outfit on again, but I’ll at least certainly try!
Remember the list I posted last month? Well, April is nearly through and I must say: I think it was rather optimistic of me to think I could do all that. Not that I feel any remorse, at least I tried. And I’ve got the perfect excuse: The beginning of the new semester, choosing lectures and courses, comparing time tables for cafeteria days with friends and the like really took its time. That’s also the reason why I’ve been rather quiet lately, but it all started well and I finally decided to stick with archeology through my B.A. as my major. The process that lead me there was a little bit like coming home, but that’s not for this post. I’ll cover that later, maybe.
What is for this post is the resumé on my list for April’s Projects!
I should have split up the cosplay into several points, but overall I’m okay with the outcome of this first list. Let’s hope I’ll do better in May!
I’ve got this idea from Selene. To cope with my problem of starting and not finishing projects I’ll make a list of 10 projects for every month and try to get on with them. Others are allowed, too, of course, but these 10 are of priority. Most of them are ones I’ve got the materials for, and I decided not to limit them to sewing but also get some fine art and other crafts projects done. I’ll draw a resumé at the end of April, and then we’ll see if it got me somewhere or is just another list to gather virtual dust on my blog.
P.S.: There’s still time to participate in the recent giveaway! Good Luck!
notes for the new list
Well, today is the 22nd day of November and so the deadline for my daring deeds expires tonight. This here is a little conclusion about these goals. I did 50 of 101, that’s nearly 50%! I’m sure I could do even better, my new list is already there.
P.S.: I also linked back to posts that covered a Daring Deed so you can see some parts of the progress again!
