2011

like most people, at the beginning of each new year, I like to look back and review what I have or haven't achieved. It's my personal 'reality check' time. Here's my 2010 plans and my thoughts on how I did...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. I'm frequent blogging. I kept it up this year. A mid year crisis with cyber stalkers changed my approach to blogging. The stalking hasn't stopped so I'm more conscious of what I blog about.
2. improve knitting  
3. improve knitting skills goes onto 2010 list.
4.  
5. etsy & felt shops at 100% I'm ditching the felt shop & keeping the etsy store. This year I'm doing a lot more sewing for ball jointed dolls.
7.  
8. try gocco printing this stays on the list. I'd like to produce my own stationary, notecards and even christmas cards this year.
10.  
11. try scrapbooking again this gets kicked off the list. I'm not that into scrapbooking so I'll stick with my plan to only scrapbook christmas photos.
13.  
14. more personal sewing this one is a real biggie and needs to stay on the 2010 list. 2009 started off well and then my sewing inspiration fizzled leaving me completely unmotivated to sew. On the plus side, I lost a total of 18.5 kgs ( thats about 40 lbs) which added more sewing challenges to the mix. Later in the year, my sewing mojo returned and I sewed clothing for my growing 13 year old daughter.
15.  
16. no unfinished projects another to stay on the list. I'm embarassed to admit that I still have some 2008 ufo's in my sewing basket to complete. Getting them done is a priority.
18.  
19. reduce wool & fabric stash done! about 3 big boxes of wool was donated to the Middlemore hospital charity knitters and several black bags of fabric to the local hospice shop.
21.  
22. continue charity knitting another for the 2010 list. Although I didn't knit a great deal last year, I did contribute 4 christmas shoeboxes and 9 christmas gifts to the K-Mart wishing tree appeal. So this years plan is to continue crafting for charity.

 

 

and there you have it, my 2010 plans.
