2011 Goals

2011 Goals

1. Focus more on my health
2. Get my finances in order
3. Finish all knitting projects currently on my needles
4. Set up my business
5. Send out one handwritten letter every month
6. Try at least one new recipe a month
7. Design a knitting pattern
8. Take more time to be happy
9. Go to a movie alone
10. Work on being a better friend
11. Take more pictures

 And that is what I have so far.  Totally do-able.  I saw today that someone does easy, medium and hard goals for the year.  I think I have a mixture of the three on my list.  I'm very much looking forward to 2011.  

I am editing to add the following:

1. Plan my Christmas knitting now and have it done by the first week in December.
2. Find a Church

Also, these are quite vague, I'm in the process of defining what I think will allow me to complete these goals.  :-)

Daily Writing

So my goal to post every day in November was an utter FAIL.  I thought about it, but then something would come up and away I would go.  Life seems to be insanely busy at the moment, but I'm coming to the realization that it is going to continue that way so I just need to acclimate to this new normal.  In order to be able to be more productive at work I've decided to dip my toe into selling my handmade things.

I'm creating a design for a project bag, I have the proto-type done, but the sewing needs to improve.  I have my Gram's sewing machine that she was given by my Grandpa & my Mom & her siblings clear back in the 50's.  It's awesome and still works fabulously.  Of course I do go use my Mom's machines as some things are a bit easier to do with a surger.  :-)

I'm also busy knitting away on Christmas presents so no pictures yet, but in a week. 

I finally got my hands on a set of Addi Lace Clicks and oh my gosh they are heaven.  I love the cords, it makes it so easy to magic loop things and they just slide in my hands.  I am anxious to make a pair of socks on them. 

My next project is one of the infinity scarves.  I'll be designing my own pattern, fairly plain, but with some beautiful yarn that I purchased at Knit Wits here in town.  As soon as I am home I can update with the actual yarn and if I can get a good picture, one of those as well.
