Weekly Goals Update: Week 50

1.  Disaster Preparedness
I stayed with this goal until the weekly lists got too far out there for me. 


2.  Makeover the Garden
I started cleaning out the raised beds to plant garden peas.  No planting yet since we are expecting another heavy rain.  I hope to get the seeds planted next week.  I did order kiwi plants and passion fruit plants from Baker Creek.  They will not ship until the spring, but I wanted to get my order in before they sold out. 


3.  Organize Recipes - Done
I actually finished this.  I have no idea why I kept putting it off.  I finished everything in about an hour one morning while the weather was damp and cold.  Everything is organized, and I sorted through the recipes I want to try. 


4.  Have 13 No Spend Grocery Weeks - Done
I did my last grocery shopping for the year.  I plan to skip the grocery store for the rest of this year.  We have more than enough to last this year and probably most of January.


5.  Focus on Saving
The last of the handmade gifts are coming together.  I took advantage of some deep discounts on autumn candles and will save these for Secret Sister at church in the coming year.  Gift giving does not have to be expensive when you plan in advance.  I shopped around for the best prices on some necessary purchases. 


6.  Etsy Shop
I am done adding any crochet items until after the holidays.  I have a few more winter items to add in January and will do a special order as well.  Most of January will be spent working on spring items to add.  I will be adding some stationery this week.

I've no idea how much rain we got but it was a lot. The yard is a terrible mess and we've had no less than three heavy trucks come in. It even rained a bit more this morning, just in case we hadn't enough. Now it's winter wind advisory and warnings of power outages as trees may uproot with all the recent rain.

Laughing over your recipe organization taking so little time. Isn't that just the way of a job we think will be long winded and it's not? And those we think will take just a few minutes end taking hours.
