I think this week's project is going to be rotating through the raised beds that need to be built and just get them put together and then figure out where they'll go.

This might be a multi-week project given that the 12 foot bed took me three days to put together (I think I've figured out a better way).

(GG, me. Way to post before finished.)

Our temps are going to be in the 20s and sunny through Friday, so this is a great time to get it going.

I also have a plan for growing lettuce so we have a nice rotation of that happening while I'm firmly in warm weather salad consumption.

A little disappointed that my window planter plans are likely not going to happen this year, but I think I can figure out a second option. I might also just put them on the top floor windows since there aren't that many.

Today's progress in sewing: after getting the needed thread, I was able to get the neckline and the sleeve hems done for both dresses done. Hem has to wait until I set up the laser level because my body does not lend itself to an easy symmetry for hems.

More things learned with these, but the most important thing is that I (nearly) have two new dresses to wear around the house and for quick errands or out to lunch and it will hopefully encourage me to not go to work in pyjamas.

I think the next one will have the hems dialed in a bit better.

This weekend's sewing project:
Cleaning and oiling my sewing machines because they've been very good to me this week.

First new knitting project of the year is always for me. I love making things for friends and family that are knitworthy, but I always make sure that the first new project is for me because I deserve the fruits of my labour and the skills that I have earned over the years.

Pattern: Nordic Nights by Jennifer Steingass
Yarn: DROPS Flora in 05 (Dunkelgrau) and Dibadu Funnies Tiny Merino in Janufrost.
Modifications (so far): I doubled the depth of the collar and started with a tubular cast on.

I like the bingo card non-resolution idea so much that I am going to make a separate one for what skills I want to learn for the various crafts I do...

Like steeking or felled seams or 3D peyote stitch or ... whatever. The good news is that since I'm just going to have this one as a 2025 skill up setup that I can add to it as I come across ideas and feel less of an urgency to get it done now to be able to start on things.

Thanks so much, @jessie for sharing such a great idea on how to identify goals, track them, and make it fun!
