Has anyone asked what you’re doing? I read that during the pandemic, people are documenting their accomplishments on social media. Some are impressive- home improvement, organization, gourmet meals, stacks of books read,all sorts of things.
When someone asks me tomorrow what I did over the weekend, I’ll be able to proclaim this-
“I washed a stack of potholders today. And one dishcloth.”
Do they have to be hand washed? It’s the little things these days……
Machine wash on warm and regular dry.
I started off doing cleaning projects but of late, I’ve lost motivation.
At least you have one task to show. I was on fire the first week of the quarantine — cleaning, sorting, etc. but I’ve really slowed down now. Need to get going again. Much to do.
One task. That’s about it.
I’ve got to get my mo-jo back. Stuff needs cleaning out and taking to the Habitat Thrift Store!
Week #2– I have been watering several rows of sunflower seeds in hopes of seeing sprouts next weekend. The squirrels and I are battling over the other small flower seedlings. They are interested in digging through these flower boxes> are they looking for food or hiding their food ?
Maybe both?
It is interesting to see the things we have time for during the pandemic, like cleaning a stack of pot holders. Have a great day, Ruth!
Thanks Peter. One tiny task.
I think this is a big accomplishment if you’ve been putting it off forever! In the business world, It follows the criteria for a S.M.A.R.T. goal:
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound
I never knew about SMART goals before.
Ruth – this is super fun!
And I love those loom type of potholders

We are not doing major house projects during this pandemic – but some small tasks have been covered
Your comment was in my SPAM folder. What is up with WordPress? We have exchanged comments on one another’s blogs for a time now.
Anyway, glad I found it. I am thinking of ordering more potholder loops. Very zen to weave.
Ruth – I happen to love those kind of potholders as a user – and I also
Like the crocheted ones we have left from grandma T!
And as the producer of them – I can see the zen quality – maybe a good idea to get!
And so many of my comments go to spam.
Maybe it is because I have a weird blogging style right now – I am away and then come back with spurts and drop lots of comments – which can works for me right now but maybe it causes a flag to go up?
No idea. I’ve not been a dedicated blog tender as of late. Some days everything seems like too much. I like the wool Harrisville loops and I found a loom in a closet the other day. I’m going to make some.
Oh happy looming.
And regarding blog habits – whew! Everyone needs to take heed and be careful or it can be a black hole that sucks and drains! 🕳
And what I see if your style (it I may share my view) you seem to be a consistent daily poster – with your special pic of the day – sometimes you have a more detailed post – and then you visit in cycles.
I think that is a good pattern.
In contrast – sometimes visiting too much can be Awkward at times – for the visitor or the receiver –
Anyhow –
Seems like you have a just fine balance that is your own flow
If my family and I remain healthy and sane during this pandemic, I am considering that all of the “accomplishment” we need.
You know it! Exactly. My post was a bit of humor cause I’m not accomplishing much of anything at all.
