No Resolutions

I am not making any resolutions for 2013 because I always fail, but I am setting a few easy goals:

No. 1 goal is to be more organized. I have already started cleaning out closets and will continue to work on the house and eventually our basement, (it’s really called the dungeon!). I want to have less clutter and unwanted  “stuff” in our house and lives.

No. 2 goal is to continue on the path I have set for myself in the studio, which is to work on what makes me happy. I drove myself crazy working on the last studio tour with what I thought people would want or would sell. I was not happy working that way so lesson learned. I am back to making what I am inspired to make at the moment! That’s what makes me want to stay in the studio.

No. 3 goal is to make one small Christmas item each of the next 12 months. I had fun following Kathleen Tracy with her one small quilt a month; so I thought why not do that with Christmas items that are just for me! It can be woven, hooked, quilted or whatever, so at the end of the year I have twelve new items to decorate with at Christmas!

Now that I have told everyone, I’m committed right? Truthfully I only made it through Sept. on Kathleen’s challenge, but I still intend to finish! I may get behind on my Christmas plan, but I do have good intentions!

No. 4 goal is to just take care of me. Walk, eat healthy, take time to rest and enjoy the day.

No. 5 goal is part of number 4 – Cherish family, friends and appreciate the many blessings we have been given.

No resolutions just five clear goals for 2013.

I think Sadie is making fun of me by saying "I hear ya Mom"

Happy New Year to all from Pog, Louise, Monica and Sadie at Shuttle, Hook and Needle!
