2010

Happy New Year! (a day late I know, but that's me:) )

Has any one made any new year resolutions? I never have, stubbornly refusing to do so every year. THIS year however, I think is time for a few.  I'm not talking the lose some weight, exercise more, sort out finances sort of thing here - I make those resolutions weekly!

No, my goals for this year are craft related. Partly due to the fact that I didnt make ANY Christmas cards for 2009 OR handmade presents* and partly due to the fact that I have not finished a single project on the blog so far, I came up with these:

In 2010, I will try my best to:
  1. Finish some projects - aim for minimum of one a month and having a big project on the go (aren't I brave setting a figure like that?! Note the "aim for" get out clause)
  2. Make a home made gift and card for each female birthday that I would buy a gift for
  3. Start wearing / showing my creations
  4. Make Christmas cards in advance 
  5. Take more photographs for 6
  6. Update blog regularly 
  7. Take a class / learn something new    



So, now you have them down in black and white - I'll review them at the end of the year. The above picture has no relevance -I just don't like to post without pics! (Hmmmm - although it is another WIP)

I'm hoping the blog will keep me motivated  - so please feel free to leave comments, they're always most welcome (I get ridiculously excited to see them to tell you the truth)!

Bye for now

* Actually, I did manage to crochet a last minute hat for mum, something I'd promised months before!

  3. Hi there, Happy New Year!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog!
    I'm amazed at what you said. I must have missed it last year. I have been looking out for it for ages, The last few months of last year were quite demanding so that's when I probably missed it! THanks for telling me anyway. I can crochet, it's just that I want to improve! I want to learn more stitches and that's why I have gone back to basics.
    New Years Resolutions. well tomorrow night back to the slimming club for sure.
    More exercise too.
    Not so much computer work IF i can help it. I am addicted to blogging though, so that's pretty difficult.
    Nice to have you visit. I'll pop over again.
    Thanks Sue x
