Goals for July/August!

I am a little on the late train to list my July /August goals and priorities for the When I first read about the theme for this month all I could think about was to not set any goals in order to (I don't know why the badge copied black???)

I am a great one for setting goals and making lists and I guess what I need to do is not to be obsessive about the list or the priorities I make. I get very disappointed if the goals are not met according to plan so in fact it does not help me in the self-care department. So here is the list I may be able to accomplish but will be OK if I do not.

1. Add the finishing touches on the table runners I made before vacation.

in the Rouenneries* (these two have to be listed as priorities as they are for the church bazaar on August the 8th )


2. Make my three BOM.. Designer Mystery block, Kansas Troubles BOM and the Jelly roll blocks

#3. is a priority .... I will continue to organize (which I committed to) the Quilt Show, a church fundraiser, taking place August 2nd to 6th and


4. I will continue to spend quality time with my very best friend..
This is not a goal or a priority it is a continuation of a 40 year wonderful commitment... and the ultimate self-care♥♥♥


August is a month full of events in the Tufts family.. all the wedding anniversaries are in August... Ours, and our three children's.....plus there are 4 birthdays and this year DH celebrates a very special one!!!!

So I know I will be busy with these events in August and enjoy the moments as I share them with loved ones!

  3. I know just what you mean about getting all your goals accomplished. I get way too mad at myself if I don't. I've really been procrastinating in getting my list done too, with it being summer things never seem to slow down enough to blog. That happens with little kids though;-)
    August is a month full of big occasions in my family too. My birthday, dh's and my 11th anniversary, several other family members birthdays and anniversaries too. August sure is a popular month for weddings. Ours is the 14th. What day is yours?

  5. Hi Joan, I too like that your self-care includes not having to meet your goals. And yes, making quality time with your hubby is so important;having reached 40 years - you've been doing that one right! Good luck with your goals.
