Weekly Wishes - Week#5

I love Monday's Weekly Wishes link-up, where I get to review what I achieved last week, and set out some targets for the week ahead.

And, I get to join in the Weekly photo theme.

This week: Creativity. 

My photo is of my fabric stash, needlework box that my grandad bought me when I was 9, pincushion & my current knitting project. There's usually some creative project or other in the middle of our lounge, which drives my husband crazy, but I couldn't live any other way!

If you want to play too then jump over here to join Melyssa at The Nectar Collective, and a whole host of other Weekly Wishers to find out more.

Now to my Weekly Wishes for Week number #5:

Last week's wishes were:

• To purchase gum tape & a sample pack for prints - this one is being postponed for 2 weeks. Our pennies have other priorities before payday. 
• To import Disqus - Done. To update my about me page - kind of done. I decided it was more important to finally get some easy-linky buttons on my side-bar >>> to make it easier to follow me & connect. Looking at my 'about me' page, although it's a bit waffly and needs attention eventually, it kind of serves a purpose and it's not so bad. So, I added a quick update for now. I also decided to add a 'Publicite' page with some stats and info about Button-Swaps I've decided to offer.
• To get emailing with Lauren at Lipglossed Ninja, my Snail Mail Collective partner & start putting together my package for her. Done & Done! Lauren is lovely, you can take a look for yourself over here! Turns out we have lots in common that even the girls at SMC wouldn't have known! I've started working on the parcel but there is PLENTY still to do...especially since it needs to get to South Africa!

This week's targets:

• Taking more photos myself for A-L-P. 

Photography is one of my favourite things & I've neglected it a lot recently. I like to have a photo per post and at least 3 of those next week I plan to be my own.

• Get some posts queued up for the next two weeks.

Now I've worked out the Scheduled posting option (though I haven't successfully managed to make it work yet) I want to make the most of it. Hopefully, things are going to be a lot busier in the peachy household the next couple of weeks, not least because it's school holidays and we plan to visit my sister in Bristol, so I need to get seriously organised!
Update....new wish, to get Scheduled posting to work, as it currently isn't. :(

• Make at least one of those a DIY post.

I do lots of DIY/crafty things day-to-day but I rarely get them blogged. So, not least in honour of this week's creativity theme, I want at least one of those posts to be DIY.

• Make time for at least 40 minutes reading, each day, with no distractions.

My wish back in week #3 of a set period of time in the afternoon, working at my kitchen table with no distractions, was one of the best things I could have come up with - and it's really stuck!
Now I want to apply that principle a little to my leisure time and try to make time each day for at least 40 minutes reading, with no distractions. Actually, you might already know, i'm not a big fan of sleep, but this has started to develop into insomnia recently, when I can't sleep even if I want to. So, I plan to make time to read and wind-down time before bed. No distractions other than a good book.

Ok, that's it for this week I think....

Good luck with all you plan to achieve!
