October Goals - one month later

I've really liked this month and having these goals, they've done their best to keep me motivated and to not give up. Even though I can only say that I really succeded with one of them. But let's recap and evaluate.

1. Finish one if the small paintings
So I've gotten rather far in this one. I think I will finish it during next weekend. The biggest reason why I haven't finished this painting is because I've hadn't had many free weekends. I've both been travelling and having my wonderful boyfriend over (whom lives in another country). So there hasn't been enough time for me to sit down and complete this painting and I'm a rather slow painter.
There was also a bit of trouble the first time i sat down painting the skull, since I wasn't satisfied at all with the colours i had and how they turned out when being mixed. But I have the right colours now so I've managed to get a lot of the skull done.

2. Sort out the wardrobe full of craft stuff
Yes, this one is complete and I know a very dear friend that would be so proud seeing my sorted crafting wardrobe (even though I know she might be a bit jealous that she didn't get to help).
I still want to fix prettier storage boxes, but everything is in order as it is now and I've thrown out so much that I have never used. It feels really nice to cut down on material possessions, it's make me feel lighter and more focused. Having everything isn't essentially if they are things that you do not need or use. On the contrary, I find it more stressful because I feel pressured to do all the things at once. So getting rid of things I don't need make me more focused to do the things I want to do

3. Exercise once a week
Yeah, I kind of failed this one too. But I've started getting into the habit of swimming once a week. But since I'm swimming with friends it can sometime get tricky do find a day that fit all of us. Managed to go swimming twice and went on a long powerwalk once. So almost.
