Reflection: August 20, 2017

Matthew Ward · August 20, 2017

This week has been a lazy week. I’m on some intense projects at work so when I got home every day this week I was mentally exhausted. So with no energy to do anything means not a lot happened this week.

Sewing Project Updates

• My First Quilt – I’m pretty much lost my inspiration on this project and it’s getting put the the side for a more important project this week. I will finish it though. I need to!
• Market Bags – This project has been postponed. I don’t have time to work on this one until after these quilting projects are done.
• Quilt for Mom’s Birthday – I went to the fabric store and picked up some really great prints! 9 in total. I’m doing a wonky quilt so I’ll need all of them for this project.

Events of the Week

• Video Filming – I’ve posted a couple videos this week – the first part of my First Quilt series. You can go check them out on YouTube! I also started playing with a teleprompter app and I realized I suck at that. It’s a lot harder then it looks.
• Daily Schedule – I’ve been working to stick to my daily schedule but a lot has come in the way of that. Now I need to remain flexible so I can have fun in life but I also need to get off my ass and do things when I was planning and not procrastinate.
• Cable Canceled – I called and canceled my cable! I’m going to be saving close to $100 a month. I just need to return the box and switch out my modem. I’ll do that Monday after work.
• Visit from Jessica – She was up in Maine for a family issue so she stopped by and crashed on my couch for the night. It was nice to see her and catch up because we haven’t talked in a while.

Goals from Last Week

• Market Bags Project – FAIL
• Fabric for Mom’s Quilt – COMPLETE!
• Drink tea instead of Pepsi at work – FAIL

Goals for This Week

• Mom’s Birthday Quilt – This is my one and only goal this week. It’s going to take the entire week to finish this project so I can’t focus on anything else!
