It probably sounds weird to most people right now, to have goals for the month, while in lockdown.

But I’ve always found goals help me stay motivated and happy. And since I work from home anyway, I need to stay as focused as possible. So monthly goals are still very much a thing for me!

So I thought I’d share mine with you guys. Some are big goals, some are teeny tiny. I don’t put pressure on myself and I definitely don’t feel bad if I don’t achieve all my goals. It’s just for fun!

So here we go…

1. Reach 45 patreon members.

I currently have 41 Patreon members, and I’m so incredibly proud of that. I put lots of work into my Patreon, and I’m always trying to make it the best community as I can. So this month I’d like to reach 45 members if possible! If you aren’t familiar – my patreon membership means you get exclusive goodies from me every month! Depending on the membership you choose (there’s something for everyone!), you can get notebooks, cute stickers, bookmarks, behind the scenes access to my work, vote on upcoming products, get tips on running a small business, printable goodies AND LOADS MORE. And hey, you’ll help me reach my goal! 🙂

2. Design a Marshmallow Cat pin.

I have an awesome collection for Marshmallow the cat on my shop. However, something is missing; an enamel pin of course! She needs to be created in pin form, so I can wear her on my jackets and bags. So this month, my goal is to come up with the perfect design; and get the funds to put her into production!

3. Re-organise my office.

I love my office. I transformed my outdoor garage into a big office for myself last year, and it looks so good! Pink walls, multiple desks, loads of cute storage and space to paint/draw/make jewellery/etc. It’s wonderful. However now that I’ve been in here and using this space for a few months, I understand better what I need from this space. I know now what works and what doesn’t, and how I should maybe move things about. So hopefully this month I’ll get some time to rearrange and reorganise!

4. Make some time for myself.

It’s no secret that my schedule is pretty hectic, and I’ve noticed that taking a little toll on me the past few weeks. Just little things, but I need to make some adjustments this month I reckon. Spend time doing my nails each week, making more time to read and get away from screens, getting an earlier night. In fact, my hair is due to be dyed, as it could do with refreshing a little bit. So that’s the first thing I need to do! Maybe I’ll pick a particular day each week to pamper myself?

5. Design new tshirts.

This is something I’ve been meaning to do for the past few weeks, and it’s kept getting put off! Truth is I keep changing my mind about what I want. So I need to sit down, sketch out my ideas, and see what works best. I love making tshirts, so hopefully I can make this happen this month!

What’s on your list of goals for the month? (If you have any!)
