Master Plan for 2024, January's Gains


Here is what was (and wasn't) accomplished in January.



If you would like to join me on this crazy resolution adventure, I'll be happy to encourage and support you via email, Facebook and/or sharing links to your posts (blogging not required).

1.  Harvest something from our little One Acre Farm every single month.  Exciting gardening news!  Here's my post for the January Harvest!

2.  Attend two concerts.  I love live music.  None attended yet.

3.  Kayak or canoe with my hunting dog, Clint.  This one won't happen until we have warmer weather!




If you would enjoy seeing posts featuring Clint, click here or here.  Would you like the recipe for Clint's birthday party pup cakes?  It's right here!  Oh, and there's also a post about his Camping Trip.

4.  Increase muscle mass.

5. Decrease body fat.



The above calendar shows my progress. Not perfect, but overall, super proud of myself!  The week of the 15th - 19th we had winter precipitation and single digit temperatures.  I did skip three days.  You can check out another Fitness Update right HERE.



6.  Post new content on Old Rock Farmhouse blog once per week.

Week 1.  Done

Week 2.  Done

Week 3.  Done

7.  Promote Old Rock Farmhouse blog once per week either thru cooperative blogger events or sharing on social media.  If you happen to know of any blogger reading, craft or gardening challenges, I'd love an invitation to participate!

Week 1.  Done

Week 2.  Done

8.  Read 26 books and post reviews on Old Rock Farmhouse.  Have you noticed my page titled Musing?  That's where my book reviews can be found.  Six were posted in January.

9.  Post updates on all of these targets the first week of each month on Old Rock Farmhouse.

Yep!  Here you go for February!

10.  Continue learning to draw and watercolor with at least weekly practice.  These can be seen on my old blog, Stone Cottage Adventures.  I still host two weekly link parties there and frequently use my Bible journaling as the header photos.

Adding on one more item:

11.  Complete one unfinished project in my craft room per month.  This was not accomplished in January.

Do you enjoy creating resolutions?

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!

Participating in craft challenges is just that.  A challenge!  I love how each one helps me think in different ways and pulls me out of any ruts I might be experiencing.  This one is all about sustainability.  For me that means:  Minimize purchases.  Upcycle wherever possible.  This time, I even grew something from seed!
