Knitting Productivity

Ok, so I have been knitting the month of August away and it is all going to come to a screeching halt after next week. So here is what I have accomplished in August.















These aren't even the 5 things I'm working on at the moment. I'm trying to do a couple things like...Knit through my stash yarn, knit a couple of sweaters for fall/winter, and Knit some gifts for people.

So I'm leaving for the beach on Saturday!! As I may not get very much knitting done this will be the end of my crazy knitting since school is starting back up the following week.

BTW, Those red socks are my first pair of knit socks, ever!! Wouldn't the Yarn Harlot be proud!?

Happy 26!

So I wanted to write this post on my birthday, but I had quite a busy day, a good day but a busy one.


I have so many reasons to be happy on this 26th birthday:

I will be teaching full time in the fall, I just got my Kindermusik License and I feel really good about where my career is going.

I have a supportive family, supportive friends, and a great supportive boyfriend. I would be lost without these people in my life.

I have a hobby that I love and sustains me and gives me so much joy in ways that music cannot.

I have so many fun things coming up in the coming months.


Some goals I have for September:

To practice more! I'd like a to plan a recital for a year from now.

To organize and clean my apartment throughly before school starts up in the fall. I want to go in the Fall school year with a fresh start.

To get a strong foundation started on the article I'm writing to submit to Keyboard Companion.

To continue working out 6 days a week. Hopefully I can keep this up, I'm already starting to notice the benefits of this.


This has been a great year, and I look forward to the great things to come. I know there may be times that are challenging but I feel that I will be happier and more fulfilled working through the challenges to come.
