Anual Goal Setting [Freebie]

At the end of a year I usually take some time for setting goals and thinking about possible project for the upcoming year. I do so in 3 steps. 

Step 1: Note down goals and projects for the whole year no matter when exactly you're going to work on it.

Step 2: Now sort those goals into the four quarters. If necessary break a goal down into various steps.

Step 3: Break down your goals even further and sort them into the 12 months. I recommend doing so quarter by quarter. Mostly planning a month in detail about a year in advance will not work out. So around the beginning of March sit down to map out your goals and projects for April until June and so on.

I love to have my lists of goals handy all the time therefore they're part of my planner.

Simple Weekly Planner Template for OneNote [Freebie]

Happy New Year, everyone!

I am currently waiting for my physical 2025 planner to arrive. Unfortunately, the new year has already begun and I need/want to start planning. So I came up with a quick temporary solution: a Simple OneNote Weekly Planner Overview. 

It will probably be used for just a week or two so it's nothing fancy, just a plain weekly overview:

And this is how I created said template.

I started with arranging a couple of text boxes to get an idea regarding the dimensions. Afterwards, I took a screenshot.

I then imported said screenshot into Excel and adjusted a simple Excel table to fit the dimensions of the text boxes.

Then I added lines to the table and copied it as a picture (as printed).

Now all I had to do was paste it into the OneNote page and adjust its size. To make it easier to work with I right-clicked on the table/picture I just adjusted and set it as a background. And that's it.

You can grab a copy of said Simple OneNote Weekly Planner Overview Template right here:

Happy Planning!

Self-Made Goodies

Hello everyone,

A little while ago I finished some birthday goodies and with that sort of continued my stash busting journey as I tried to use solely materials that I had already at home.

Here's what I came up with:

1) Scrunchies

This one's one of my most favorite DIY gift to give as they are quick and easy to sew. I used 100% cotton fabrics from Buttinette.

2) Soma Cube

I created this puzzle using my own free Soma Cube Printables. Join my Discord Community to grab your copy!

3) Paw-Shaped Felt Purse

As a cat and dog lover I thought this might be a cute idea :)

The material is felt plus simple cotton fabric for the lining.

4) Coloring Book

This is a coloring book with just a few pages. The content is inspired by nature and most of all by my most favorite season which is Fall.

See you soon!

Stash-Busting Update

Hello everyone,

just a quick update on my current stash-busting adventures.

In March I went through my yarn stash and planned out a couple of projects to work on throughout 2023. Since then, I changed my mind regarding a couple of these projects as well as finished a few. Let's have a closer look...

Currently in Progress:

• Beanie (had to start over unfortunately, the pattern wasn't ideal...)
• Another Beanie (similar pattern to the one above)

Beanie no. 2 in progress

Recently Finished:

• Knooking Scarf & matching Wrist Warmers [March 2023]
• Sprial Socks [March 2023]
• Knooking Headband [April 2023]

Planned:

• More beanies in different sizes
• Short Socks with a heel
• Another Knooking Scrunchie
• Granny Square Clutch

See you soon!

Knooking Headband Finished

 Hello everyone,

I finished the knooking headband :) It took me a little while. To be honest, I got a bit tired of the pattern as it's quite similar to the spiral socks I worked on earlier.

Here's the result:

Another stash-busting project done :) And also another gift done!

Yarn: Schachenmayr nomotta TOMMI Baby (50% acrylic, 25% new wool, 25% viscose)

I used up about 35g of yarn with this project, so not even a whole skein. I still have 32g of said yarn left but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with it. For now, I will set it aside as I have other projects planned for the next weeks.

See you soon!
