[Furniture is being replaced without a plan. Decide about coffee tables. Sell unused table. Add wall art. Bring down round coffee table. Maybe? Black & white rug: Finish up fabric strips. Scheduled for the spring/summer, most of this!] (Idea has been abandoned. 6/2020.)

Writing: Memoir retype effort: 62.5% complete (I’m amused that I seem to do this in 3% chunks. I’m not counting or anything, it’s just that the sections are short, and it’s difficult emotionally, especially the first 3rd, so I’ve been doing it until I felt like quitting, then I let myself stop.) Memoir delivered to publisher in 2019. 3 stories into novel: Worked a little on one of the stories, call it 07% 9/20?Kitchen book: nothing new. Possible future editing jobs: sold the next one, stories are being submitted.
All-In-One Organizer: clean up & print, make stickers/stamps Need to hire a pro for this I’ve decided. After the taxes are done.
Paper cull and counting: updated tally 3/1, will move 1-2/2017 to archive next time I update the page.
Canister labels designed. Most supplies procured. Still to do: print labels and use! Various technical issues which need to be resolved. My word processor doesn’t have the right label template. Avery doesn’t let you do a merge for their online template designer, etc. I need to order the correct magnets. I have the magnets. Date bought unknown 6/2020. Make tutorial.
The simple answer would be to cover the labels with scrapbooking or other paper and print clear labels to go over them. My last step was always going to be putting clear shelf liner over the label to make them waterproof. Most of the label issues have been resolved, mostly. Still a wrinkle or two before I make a tutorial!
