i guess i should confess that i didn’t reach my painting goal this week (10 paintings). my sis was in town and Style School has kept my days very full… time was not on my side. i think i deserve a one week extension (i love being my own boss!). i really want a good solid in-studio week…. and, of course, i still want that cute reward! Oh, i have a cute DIY coming up tomorrow… thinking of making it a Monday tradition here on my blog?
do you have any fun goals for the week? XO. elsie

DIY Mondays would be awsome! I like to see your creative ideas.
My plans for this week are… hmm… get ready for visiting my younger sister in Berlin and make a lot of handmade gifts for her! I’m thinking maybe a mobile cozy like the one you’ve made for your iPhone. YAY! I’m soooo excited! 😉
teaching myself to embroidery better. Oh I just noticed you have Sublime Stitching button on your blog. I just found them this past week and I am in love. I might have to put that button on my blog.
unfortunately, my goals this week are all related to what has to be achieved by my students and children…my kids take mid-term exams this week – goal #1: help them by providing nutritious meals and a quiet environment in which to study……my students take mid-term exams next week – goal #2: have study guides ready by wednesday/exams typed and copied before Friday!!!!
wish I could be doing more creative things with my free time this week! i need a week extension too:(
my goal for this week should be something crafty as my daughter, zoe, bought herself an easy-knit scarf pack and she’d like me to help!! well, i actually don’t know how, but think we can learn to do it together.
anyway, i’ve got so many colorful plans myself, but can’t find the time to do any quite yet. tuesday seems the best to start making an art journal!
🙂 xoxo
Fun goal for me is to take the new greyhound for 3 walks a day. He sure needs the walks, the dog has a lot of energy. He looks just like a fawn deer, you would love him.
I love diy Monday!
My goals for the week:
get the house “spring cleaned” so I don’t have to do it in school, make some jewelry, and get my books. Eeek.
listing an item a day in my etsy store chinamommy
listing some of my daughter’s outgrown clothes on ebay
create, create, create!!
RUN!
I would love to see it every monday :))))
I look forward to DIY mondays. My goals for this week are to starting sewing my McCalls (5929http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M5929.htm) I love this shirt! Finish my embroidery for an art center, and finish embroidery for my shop.
not to be cranky with my sweet 4-year-old girl who still doesn’t sleep through the night. i need sleep… so it goes.
My only goal this week is to find a new job. Not fun at all.
Elsie, I did all my goals from last week after being inspired by your post. All except one, and that was the work related one! Managed to do all the scrap, weight and craft related ones though.
This weeks goal is to do the work goal from last week, a one week extension seeing as you are haveing one!
Can’t wait to see your DIY. My goal this week is to get the paper cut and hole punched for my 365 album.
DIY Mondays would ROCK! come on, do it, do it!!
I would love that DIY monday!
I don’t know if you read all your comments, but I have another question: At school I have to do an interview with someone who really inspires you, and I figured out that you are that someone. 🙂
And I would like to ask if I can do that, but because I live in Belgium it only can happen through mail or something.
I would really love to do that. 🙂
LoVeLy Pic!
It would be amazing to get 52 DIYs here at A Beautiful Mess.
PS – Love your tattoos!
Nice photos. I love looking at it. Great post!!!
you have such a cute blog! i think i’m going to follow 🙂

Would love the monday diy tradition, you make some of the cutest things. My goal for this week is to work on a list of areas I want to focus on this year in personal and professional growth, as well as put together a valentine paperbag album with a photo shot of my two boys to send to our dad and dh who is leaving for Iraq tomm. for 6 months…
thanks so much! it’s fun to read all your goals!
