The 3rd night of the Virgo Full 🌕 Moon Eclipse (of 3 nights of a full moon, in the way I see/celebrate/memorialize full moons, the 2nd night being the climax) finds me with goals for projects *and* action plans for completing those goals during the upcoming waning moon fortnight, before the new 🌑 moon on March 6. I'm laying out some very specific timelines and parameters here, for accountability....
Goal 1:
I have plans for my own site/s, and will *eventually* migrate off blogger/blogspot when I can prove to myself that I can churn out content (I've brought urls before and did nothing with them, and will not do that again!) along with etsy and some other online ventures—2019 is the year I leverage 2 decades of digitalism and coding and I become a digital entrepreneur!
A key concept I learned from someone on twitter was that not only
*Social media can be a fresh and easier micro-platform driving content to personal sites
⇛Action Plan: post daily, if possible, to build out some content here
Goal 2:
Re-doing/re-organizing, (maybe someday renovating?) the basement (see the original declaration post from yesterday: https://somegurrrl.blogspot.com/2019/02/cheap-or-free-craft-room-storage.html—especially focusing on organinzing the craft space in February (got stalled out in January with the #polarVortex & many feet and hours of snow shovelling—I just didn't have the mental energy afterwards, to dig through the clutter* after digging through the snow
(*so cluttered because everything got all messy & intermingled because of several floods, and some family medical emergencies, plus I kept rescuing useful items (*free!* re-craft supplies!) out of the recycling bin)
⇛⇛⇛and I'm making storage out of "crafty recycler" 'supplies', (upcycling trash-to-treasure), which I will detail soon. Yes I spent hours and hours after shoveling snow, on pInterest (see my pIn board: "2bOrganized") getting ideas and inspiration for my #craftRoomOrgChallenge!
⇛Action Plan: daily, if possible: organize, breaking areas down into smaller areas so some part of the craft area is FINISHED everyday in the next week, including 7 upcycled projects, printables, and organizing principles analysis
⇛Action Plan: again...post daily, if possible
Goal 3:
🐑
🐑
I just logged some of my holiday gift yarn stash on ravelry.com last night; it's a 10 pack of rainbow mini-skeins; I need to figure out what I want to make with that, plus I have some hats I'm knitting for one of my sisters but it's all buried under stuff in the crafts area, somewhere.... 🐑🐑🐑
⇛Action Plan: not critical to do work with yarn, but a little relaxing knitting/crocheting, especially if I can figure out something for the sister who's birthday is on March 7 (which is on the day after the fortnight), if possible, and/or some of the DIY storage, has some yarn-y components...So something yarny in either week in the fortnight, at least once.
Goal 4:
Also, for more fun, relaxation, and a bit of good karma: I've been saving paperboard from packaging and plan on making some ATC's and "postcardsToVoters" for the 4 regular and various special elections that are happening this year; also sketching, journaling
⇛Action Plan:
create a pack of postcardsToVoters and an ATC or 3 in this fortnight; no pressure on sketching, journaling, though *could* document
Goal 5:
I also want to start working on pysanky (Ukrainian Eostre eggs; done with a wax resist method, kind of like batik) but not until March, when I've got a lot of the organizing done next week, for Spring Equinox + Easter
⇛Action Plan: post daily, if possible
Goal 6:
After the craft area is organized, then I want to start seeds, in March, in a different part of the basement...that ALSO needs organization (but mostly not by me, but another in my family)...
...and sow early spring seeds directly, outside (peas next month around
);
⇛Action Plan: plant seeds at least once in the fortnight, more if possible (not fully under my control because the space isn't under my control)
Goal 7:
⇛Action Plan: Finalize list in Week 1 = Feb
So those are my craftastic plans....
Goal Summary:
Other Goals:
Code Daily, Workout Daily, Log Food Daily, Log Other Goals; Join a Gym in March???, follow current events and embody activism with kindness and balance
New Moon in Pisces on March 6, & much of March 2019, actually from today on, is under Mercury Retrograding influence, so it will be all about revisiting & revamping; re-imaging & re-....we shall see? re-something....

A key concept I learned from someone on twitter was that not only
- Entrepreneurial assets/products should be 🌲evergreen🌲
- Also, CONTENT *can* be 🌲evergreen🌲, mostly
*Social media can be a fresh and easier micro-platform driving content to personal sites
