Happy New Year! - A Look at 2014

I'm not one to follow through on New Year resolutions but I do like goals. This last year was kind of crazy with moving into a new house, dealing with middle sons schooling, government furlough, well, the list could go on and on.

I decided this year I would set up some goals. Just some things that I would like to get done in 2014. If I do them it will be awesome. If not, I won't be upset, I just want to see what happens.

 

On the Quilting Side.

• Finish Sylvia's Bridal Sampler
• Finish Loyal Union Sampler
• UFO's (I have a lot - at least 30)
• Quilt all my flimsies (I have at least 37 - probably more)
• Make a quilt for each of the boys (and no they don't have one except the ones I made as babies, that would be 3 of them)
• Scraps - they are out of control

On the Knitting Side

• 4 pair of socks (one each quarter)
• use up some of my stash that has grown out of proportion in a small amount of time
• 15 minutes at least a couple of days a week to finish up these old crochet projects

On the General Side

• Make this a handmade Christmas (12 gifts on my list)
• paint Ryan's room (middle son)
• paint Jared's room (younger son)
• paint my bathroom
• get rid of the popcorn ceiling
• sand and repaint the deck
• remove paint from the fireplace (why oh why did someone do that?)
• Year of de-cluttering. It has got to go.
• Get rid of bad habit.

I also plan on following through on Stash Report, Design Wall Monday's, On the Needles Friday, and Yarn Report.

 

I will look back on this Jan 2015 and see where I stand. It will be interesting.

 

Hope every one's 2014 is and awesome year.
