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.”
loom with stretchy loops-some wool, some cotton. I’d guess they are at least 10 years old.
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.
