I scribbled yesterday's Goal Planning Monday ideas on a post-it note, but I didn't take the time to post them last night. I'll make it official by posting my goals today.Last Week's Accomplishments:
1. Beauty Captured
2. I finished Lauren's dress so that she could wear it on Sunday morning. (Note to self: next time, take pictures before she gets red Kool-Aid all around her mouth)
This Week's Goals:
1. Continue my Beauty Captured posts. I've made it for forty consecutive days, finding something beautiful (or otherwise touching) to take a picture of and share each day.
2. Figure out how to sew buttonholes for Lauren's dress. Last weekend I cheated by using snaps under the buttons, but it doesn't look as good as it could.
3. Keep working on my photo projects. I've seen a couple of good deals that I've had to pass up because I didn't have things ready to go, and I want to be ready the next time Snapfish or Shutterfly have a good sale.
4. Sync my iPod with the correct iTunes library -- a lot of my music is currently missing.
5. Work ahead on some reviews so that I'm not rushing (and staying up late) at the last minute.

I always make a test buttonhole before starting the real things. I take a scrap of the fabric I used to make the dress, then interface it to stiffen it and make a test buttonhole. If you have not made them before, just use a bigger piece of fabric and practice a few times. Even if the pattern does not call for it, I always interface under a buttonhole for strength and stability.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add that it was a beautiful dress. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteYou got the dress done and I got here to comment on your post. Thanks for linking up each week. Sorry I didn't get here last week to comment. Bad me!!! This week I purposed to do it early in the week so I would not get swamped and then forget.
ReplyDeleteThe dress, and the girl, are adorable! You did a great job!
Photos, I have a LOT of photo files to work on. That is not on my list to do this week though.
God bless and I hope you are already on your way to getting some of your goals completed. Have a great rest of the week.
