Happy New Year!


Happy New Year!!
When we moved South about 40 years ago, we discovered that Fireworks are a big thing on New Year's Eve...hadn't had this experience in the North!  I guess it is too cold to shoot them off in December/January!

I looked back at my "goals" for 2012 and was glad to see that I did accomplish a few of them....but there were many I did not get finished....so they will go back on list for this year!  A couple of the things have been on my new year lists for so long that I feel I should just give up on them....but I WILL NOT!!!  That stubborness gene in me will not allow that to happen!

Here is my new list: (which I posted last week)

  • Do bi-monthly challenges with Art Quilters Around the World.
  • Do monthly challenges with Beading Journal Blog.
  • Participate in Cotton Robin-2013
  • Finish the 12" block for Crones
  • Finish the quilt for our bed.
  • Make a quilt for the guest room bed.
  • Keep a journal for the year/ do more mixed media experiments.
  • Finish the Color Challenge of the month blocks and make something with them.
  • Continue with the Crones' Challenges for the new year.
And here is my list from this time last year...so combining both lists should keep me busy enough!!! I think I need to print these off and keep before me in my studio!!!  I had actually forgotten about a couple of my goals for last year!

  • Dye fabric this spring (I have had the materials to do so for about three years!)
  • Do silk painting (again, have the needed materials...just the ol' 'roundtoit!)
  • Finish about five UFO's
  • Continue with the Round Robin Challenge
  • Keep doing the Internet BOM
  • Make the Scotties for all the Dodds'-side children
  • Make the quilt for our bed
  • Make the quilt with my mom's embroidered birds

    1. Sounds like a good list Jay. We had fireworks ALL night long...from every point of view. Happy New Year!

    2. I think it's a great thing to have lists. And I think it's great to have them stretch from one year to the next. In my case it's a confirmation that my passion for it is still there and worth pursuing.
      Thanks for listing my blog on your site! I'll have yours listed on mine as well.
