Baby Steps

If you remember, I had two goals (along with numerous, unmentioned ones) that I really wanted to put into action this summer.

I have managed to keep up with one of the two. I know that is a 50%, a big whopping F. But hey, isn't 50% always better than 0%? I guess it's not if it's your final grade and you end up failing either way, but bear with me here ;).

On a positive note, I have been REALLY good about keeping my workspace clean! I am definitely not a messy person, but cleaning up my bits of leather, putting my tools back, and keeping things organized has been troublesome for me. As soon as finals were over, I embarked on the biggest cleaning journey of my life. My room hasn't been this clean since the day before I moved in. I hope to keep with this way!

Just so you get an idea:

Doesn't this look like Mr. Clean or Martha Stewart's room? I found a way to store my big green board (I am not sure what it is called?) and most of my bottles (of glue, dye, etc.) conveniently under my desk. Then, when I want to get to work, I can just pull them out. Or just as easily put them away! I have been so good about cleaning up every time after I work, that way it never gets too bad to handle!

As for the other goal... we might just let it slide ;).

Loser of The Year

I am so disappointed with myself. My goal of keeping my workspace clean seems to be gone with the wind (or maybe it washed away with all the rain we have had?). It's a mess! I know it could be worse, but it could definitely be better. I need to get more drawers so I am more organized. Maybe then I will have motivation to keep it clean?

Along with that, I forgot to record the time I spent tack making tonight! Bummer! In the long run, it probably won't be a big deal. Especially considering I have no way to tell how much time I have put into it so far. Maybe I should try keeping track of time from now on, then in the end figure out some way to account for what I have already done...

New Goal

It has come to my attention that my new hobby has turned me into a horribly disorganized and messy person. I finally got the chance to clean things up :). Therefore ky new goal: stay clean and organized! Every time I sliver something I need to throw away the remains...or put back extra leather...or tools...or hardware. I need to get more drawers, but for now I'm content with the way things are. Let's hope I can keep it that way!
