Fall Weekends

Besides my other million something goals I have for this upcoming school year, one of my most enjoyable goals that I'm really looking forward to is to improve my weekends.

For the past two or three years, my friday nights (which often start at 10pm if there is a home football game or track meet), have consisted of me falling into my house completely exhausted. All I want to do is sleep, read a book, watch tv, zone out at the computer and basically not even think or exist. It's awful.

So hopefully, now that I'm becoming a little more organized at school and only have to half-way pretend that I know what I'm doing (opposed to completely not knowing what I'm doing), I will have some more time to make my weekends relaxing, but enjoyable.

So some crafty fall goals I have:

• finish crocheting that soft warm brown blanket I started more than a year ago
• make hot pads for the kitchen
• clean out the spare bedroom closet. seriously, it's ridiculous.
• organize my newer pictures. get some more prints. 
• catch up on editing.
• learn how to knit better and make something awesome. amy butler?
• make a quilt (as long as it doesn't cost me a trillion dollars....)
• keep the garden alive. 
• cook + bake more often.
• catch up on family history research. print all records, pics, etc. organize in box or book.
• sew more clothing. skirts + tops + dresses.
• paint living room (maybe more of a spring break thing??)
