2009 – the year I figured out how to sew.
Let’s see – I finished 2 quilts, 10 bags, 1 skirt, 1 shirt, and 1 much-beloved jacket. And I’m starting the year with 2 quilts to finish (late Christmas gifts) and lots of plans.
I don’t normally “do” resolutions – but this year, I”m setting up goals. First, I”ve added a new page called WIP (Works in Progress) which is where I intend to put my projects as I start them – and hopefully as I complete them. I want to document this learning process and also to become a little more accountable. I also need to figure out a better work/personal balance. I’m a happier person and more productive when I do things outside of work that’s not more work. With all of that being said – here are my 2010 goals:
- stop wasting so much time on my beloved Bejeweled Blitz, Mafia Wars and Facebook. Oh,how I’ll miss thee – but really, time is too precious.
- work at home less than 3 nights a week and limit those work hours to less than 4 hours a night.
- increase my organization in my office so that i can snatch snippets of time to work on projects.
- find a tried and true (TNT) skirt pattern – I have high hopes that this one will be it.
But if not, perhaps this one. - Make a dress to wear to work and out of work. I’m thinking perhaps this one (the one with the stand up collar)
or this one
. - make this jacket
- make this shirt
- make 4 new quilts – including one for dominic.
- use my walking foot and quilt at least one of the quilts myself
- make myself a new messenger bag
so, let’s get going on 2010!
