What a year 2007 has been! I am so lucky and blessed to have fantastic family and friends. I don’t think I kept even ONE resolution from last year. But that’s ok, I still love resolutions and I’ve made some for this year too! It’s a fresh start and I want me some goals!
Here they are:
1. Be Healthy (this is actually code for lose 50 pounds)
2. Be more fiscally responsible (this means curb your yarn buying)
3. Attempt Lace and Fair Isle. I see the lace as no problem but the fair isle is scary.
4. Attempt to de-stress. I work well under pressure but the stress is starting to take it’s toll as of the past few months.
5. Spin more often…(on that note, I don’t think I mentioned that I upgraded my wheel to an Ashford Joy and sold my other two. Now I’ll need mom to paint me a design on the new wheel!)
Ok, so you may be curious about projects completed in the past year.
Let me see if I can sum it up easily:
5 Dishcloths
1 Shawl
5 pairs of socks
7 baby hats
7 baby sweaters
4 Adult sweaters
3 bags
2 hats
4 Calorimetry’s
1 pair slippers
1 pair fetching
1 toy whale
1 scarf
1 Lady Eleanor
Not too shabby huh?
Now today, I will be following the lead of a dear dear friend Bethe and I’ll be ripping out projects that I have not touched/attempted to finish this past year and start clean. I love fresh starts!
Have a very Happy New Year everyone! Here’s hoping I will also resolve to update the blog more often too!
