~ Welcome Friends ~
Our weather did not end up nearly as bad as predicted and I believe the bulk of the snow has fallen. The temperatures are now falling and I believe we are in for a couple of frigid days, but we fared so much better than many other parts of the country.
I guess it is time for my January report card.finish taking down the Christmas decorations and get it all hauled to the attic. I started at the beginning of the week and I am tired of living amidst chaos.DONEcross stitch a little Valentine pin keepThe stitching is done but it is not assembled.learn how to make a toothbrush rugI learned the technique but stopped working on my project because the beginning tension was all wrong and it would never be square or flat!bind the little cat mat I hookedThe only thing left to do is add the label.finish the hit and miss mat I am working onThe hooking is done and the binding is half done.hook a little mat I was asked to hook 1+ years agoIt is hooked but needs to be bound.hook a small Valentine mat as a giftIt is hooked but still needs to be bound. Do you detect a pattern here?- hook a minimum of one hour on my horse rug ~ for some unknown reason I can't make myself finish it, so maybe if I spend an hour hooking on it, I will be inspired and can continue on. I failed miserably at this one :( I didn't even get it out of the basket to even think about hooking on it.
HAVE A GIVE~AWAYDONE! I just need to mail off the third item.
Now on to my February goals ~
- go through my mound of paperwork that needs to be filed
- start on my taxes (I always put this off until the last minute)
- clean the basement (now my idea of a clean basement and your idea may be totally different!)
- clean the bottom of my closet (how does it end up looking like that?)
- bind and label the little mats that are hooked
- construct the Valentine pin keep (hopefully before Valentine's day...lol!)
- hook a little mat for a friend
- make a birthday gift for a friend (what to make???)
- have another give~away
- FINISH MY HORSE RUG!!! (at least the hooking part)
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Stay safe and warm!
Pug hugs :)

Good going, girl!! Lots accomplished really! Now to February's list ~ you'll make lots of headway, I'm just sure!! How's that for cheerleading!!!
Good for you. Like I said I need a list I may get more done. We got plenty of snow about 12 inches. and more is on the map.
I can't wait for spring

Congratulations on getting things crossed off your long list. I'm a list maker person too and couldn't do half of what I get done without a list. JB
Lauren,
Well, I don't have my 3rd rug all hooked, but I have made progress on it....hope to have it all finished by my hubby's birthday, Feb 27th. Seeing your post was a good reminder for me!
Lauren~
Congrats on all you got accomplished!! I find that I always seem to get more done when I make a list. You have motivated me to make a monthy "to do" list. I love your end of month "report card"!!
Have a wonderful evening~Becky
BTW~we got 16" of snow. Very pretty to look at, but horrible if you have to drive in it.
Good job! I'm a list maker too. Usually it's the only way I can get anything accomplished. Always makes me feel more productive when I can look at the list and see things crossed off!
Kudos to you Lauren! I think ya' done good! :-)
Hi Lauren,
Glad the weather wasn't as bad as expected. Do the weather people predict worse so we'll like them better when the worst doesn't happen???
You have a great list of accomplishments! Keep it going!
You did great with your list and I love the month end report card idea. There is one thing missing from February's list......bind all the little mats you started in January?? LOL Sorry, couldn't resist!
I wonder about the bottom of my closet too. I think there is a little elf who sneaks in and messes it up.
wow--you got ALOT done last month!!
I am almost finished my rabbit latch hook project(my "horse" is you will) I have to force myself because I've totally lost interest in it --too many other shiny new projects have my eye!
Whew.....Lauren...good for you!
Much of your February list is what was on my January list... which I didn't finish so I guess I will just move it over to February.......how about that!
My problem is that sometimes I keep my list in my head and that's not a good thing!

Lauren, Love the idea of report card... I never get to everything... I spend to much time on the computer, I would have to ground myself from blogging for awhile!
Had high hopes of all I would do with being snowed in, we got 20inches.... I didn't even scratch the surface! LOL!!! OLM
My gosh, Lauren..you are sooo busy! Can't wait to see your pinkeep and rug. I finally finished my rug..now i just have to edge it. I need to make myself a report card..but I am sure I would have failing grades!
We had more than enough snow yesterday. Hopefully it is over..doubt it...but I can hope!
Hi Lauren,
I LOVE the idea of posting your to do list ... makes you really accountable when it is out there huh?
Anyway, great strides in January! I hope you get your horse done ... I'd love to see it.
Gonna have to try the list thing tho ...
Have a great weekend!
