Yarn Yarn Info was where I planned to put info on yarn IвЂ™m currently using (a sample, label, notes) but I think IвЂ™ll also use it to put common knitting terms in English and JapaneseвЂ¦like yarn weightsвЂ¦because finding yarn substitutes in a second language in a country with different yarn makers is FUN. No more вЂњOh, I love this pattern, do I have the right needles to knit my gauge? I assume I doвЂ¦.вЂќ I know! Previous to this I would simply dig through a large box and search my apartment for wanderers. This has already saved me so much time! ItвЂ™s a page to keep track of what knitting needles I already have. I donвЂ™t have a stash yarn/stock page yet but it makes sense to make one soon. Same thing for knittingвЂ¦I assure you these pages are no longer blank. This also forced me to know the names for many Monster High characters, but now that I do the names bring the specifics of each doll to mind quickly. In the past IвЂ™ve taken photos for stock dolls but I find this is more flexible for keeping track of things. That IвЂ™ve survived Craftsmas with only adding two used dolls to this stock is testiment of how this list keeps me from making too many impulse buys. And as I sat down to start typing this I reminded myself to cross off two dolls, who I have since transformedвЂ¦and add two dolls. It is humbling to write down what dolls you have in stock to work on. I also have a page tracking which dolls I have for sale on Japan Mercari, when I listed them, and prices. ItвЂ™s also a page IвЂ™ve added to each time I clean/organize my workspace and long forgotten WIP float into my vision. This will ALSO reoccur in knitting/sewing/danceвЂ¦ This is where I had to take stock on what I have started and not yet finished. Oh, the WIP (work in progress) or UFO (Unfinished Object Page) how you haunt me. I copied those suggestions here and asked if anyone had other suggestions for my idea/inspiration file. This popped up in my memories towards the end of 2021 and I noted that IвЂ™d made a few of the suggestions. Towards the end of 2020 I asked friends on FB what dolls they might like to see in the future. ItвЂ™s a place to catch flitting thoughts about what I >Might< make.

The Idea page will be repeated for knitting, sewing, dance and no doubt other themes. The second page is outlining the yearly info about filing taxes in both America and Japan, the process and what I need. Health issue stresses or even the stress of a new doctor tends to dent my Japanese skills so itвЂ™s great having this all in one place. The first one being my Medication page, listing all medications by English and Japanese name and what they are for (also in English and Japanese). Not shown are the next two pages, they are omitted for privacy reasons. Last yearвЂ™s log was more arty, less rigid, tracked more variables and I did not tend to it as well as I did this format. This is a return to the first expense log I made two years ago. As you can see the ink I used to stamp made a mess. I found that just listing contents in the order that they appear in my journal didnвЂ™t work for me, so IвЂ™ve tried making broader category sections.

My mind finds mini calendar layouts helpful so I added them. The journal IвЂ™m using (Rhodia Goalbook) has a space for future logs (in two styles) but no dotted paper on these pages.

This is that page I flip to to see if I have upcoming events or tasks to include on my monthly page. I lay out each month in my journal right before it starts.

This is where I write any info for upcoming events. When IвЂ™m busy my journal becomes very minimalist. I started planning and laying out these pages toward the end of the year when I had a lot of downtime at work. IвЂ™ll also stress that the arty-ness of my journal depends on my time and whimsey. And even when IвЂ™ve created pages and trackers that I have swiftly ignored it has taught me what DOES NOT work for me. I will say that this style of journal has helped me a great deal. There are many places to get info on what BuJo/Bullet Journals are or fins super cute monthly/weekly planner layouts. I promised some folks IвЂ™d share how I was setting up craft/life related pages in my bullet journal, so here we are.
