Summer Goals


So my summer has already begun. Winter semester ended before Easter was here and since I am taking 13 credits this summer I have decided to get a jump start and begin my summer in May. And what a better way to do so than by setting four simple goals for myself. Last fall this post inspired to me set some goals for myself and I think I did 3 out of 4. (I forgot already) This summer I have devised specific goals that I really think will work out well for me.



The first goal I have is to make TWO dresses. I want a casual dress for chilling around by the pool or going to picnics and then a second dress to wear to my cousin's wedding in August. I have been looking at pretty dresses, but frankly, they are all way out of my price range (which is a low $30 tops).

The second goal I have is to re-read the entire Harry Potter series before July 15th when the final movie come out. I have been madly in love with the Harry Potter universe since I first read the books way back in fourth grade. This final movie is quite bittersweet for me. I am so excited to see it all play out, but, well, it seems like it is all coming to an end.

My third goal is to embroider a pillow. I have a plan in my head and I am really excited for it. It will definitely be a pillow that will forever be a keepsake once I am done with it.

And my final goal is to improve my photographic skills. I am going to take pictures for my cousin's wedding. I have been inspired by this blogger to get to know my camera a little better. My mom also gave me this book for Easter and I am excited to really dive in and learn new things.
