Challenge #2

In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.

Crafting

1. Assemble a miniature coffee shop.

I bought myself this kit for Christmas 2020 and never advanced past step 2, so my goal is to assemble it by 12/31/22. I am designating Sundays for this activity and started yesterday. I realised the reason I abandoned it last year is that the barstools (step 2) are very confusing to make, so I skipped the second one and vowed to come back to it at the end or simply purchase miniature barstools that will do. I did the first cabinet yesterday [in the left of the photo] Long-time friends know that I did a miniature library two years ago [in the right of the photo]. By the way, I do not recommend this kit brand. The instructions and organization of pieces is horrible.



2. Collage/Art Journaling

Create at least two collage/art journal pages a month.

After watch a ton of tiktok compliations of asmr journaling, I decided to try my hand at it. I did my first one [using a gorgeous Christmas card I received and the washi tape I allowed into my home].

First of all, my journal notebook is lovely, very vintage feel and thick pages.



Second, my first attempt, done on Saturday, isn't very fancy at all, but I impulse-bought a lot of supplies that are en route :) I fear the washi tape monster has claimed me for its own.



Learning

1. Learn enough Korean to sing along with my favourite BTS songs.

I am on Lesson #5 of the Go Billy series on Youtube. I like him. Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is difficult (for me). The only thing I've found that helps is using BTS members' names as guides, and unfortunately, they don't cover the whole alphabet.

2. Learn to juggle.

I found a juggling kit in storage when I was cleaning and want to give it a go. I am pushing this until February because I want to get settled into the other things first.

These are the only ones I want to talk about. I also want to lose weight and eat at least one vegetable a day. I am a member of GYWO comm and have a yearly 250,000 word count goal and a reading bingo of 25 squares. I'd like to reduce screen compulsion and improve the quality of my meditation (I meditation daily) and attend the online fellowship group sponsored by the spiritual centre I am a member of (I did attend their Day of Peace yesterday). I am always full of Self-Improvement at the beginning of the year. We'll see how long it lasts.

Oh my gosh, that teeny library!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ That little aquamarine cabinet! I don't know how your hands and eyes did that, but I am super impressed!

Loving the collage layering, and that is a very pretty journal.

I forgot to add my Korean goal to my list... sigh. *g* I have the same goal: being able to sing along without making up words! ;D

Sending lots of luck your way. :)

The miniature library looks amazing! Good luck on the coffee shop.

The journal is so pretty and so is the page you made! I started using washi tape recently; the washi tape monster is irresistible.

Good luck on your other goals, too! I'm trying to learn Korean a little bit, so I'm going to bookmark that series.

Good luck with all of your goals!

I'm looking forward to seeing your coffee shop progress. And also your collages. Will be cheering you along with your goals.

Wishing you well with all your goals…the journal is off to a very promising start:-)

I apologize for any involvement in your succumbing to the washi tape monster. Can't wait to see how your journal progresses!

>> Assemble a miniature coffee shop. <<

That is gorgeous. Too bad the instructions sucked.

>> Learn to juggle.<<

Consider monthly goals. Like the coffee shop could be January and juggling February, similar to how you have it set up now. You could fill in some of your other goals in different months. It's easier to do a thing for a month than a year. If you like it, you can also do it longer.
