Last month I started posting my blogging goals for the month. I wanted to start having a theme for each month to make my blog feel more cohesive. I also had hoped it would make me more productive. Let's first revisit March and see how I did. The theme for March was "Green":
- The color green. (For St. Patrick's Day, of course). I did this with my Crochet Clover Pots and 'Green' Crochet & Sewing Projects post. I call this goal a success!
- Not spending the green. I set out to not spend any money of craft supplies this month. I succeeded! Now, I didn't get done as many projects as I wanted. Some things like not having a the correct size zipper prevented me from starting some projects. Hopefully I can continue the trend of not overspending on materials and just buying necessities in April.
- Reducing waste. The Reusable Cotton Pads & Face Scrubbies I crocheted met this goal. I wanted to make some reusable non-paper towels too, but lacked the supplies. (It may be a future project!)
- Using (and repurposing) what I have. Not spending money on supplies made me use what I already had. My Bunny Clutch and my Crochet Stash Basket made use of materials I already had. That being said, I didn't get to do any repurposing or refashioning in March. I'd love to make that my goal for April!
Overall, I'm most proud that I didn't give in and spend money on craft supplies in March. I hope that habit of using what I have sticks with me. What I was disappointed with was that overall I had less posts than in February (11 vs. 12), especially since February was a shorter month. Hopefully I can get a better pace going with my projects this month. March did, however, bring some popular posts, specifically the Crochet Clover Pots and the Crochet Stash Basket. I hope I can continue and get better writing crochet patterns because the response has been so positive!
