New Year's Resolutions

heart mittens, added to Etsy shop 1/5/12

What will this year bring? I'm hoping for a healthy, stress free year of course, but I'm also hoping I find time (and patience) to get some of the things I've been wanting to do done.

I fell in love with color work last year when I made a pair of owl mittens for my daughter. This year, I'm resolving to make time for color work. There are just so many great bags, pillows, hats and mittens that keep "calling" me. Maybe this is the year, they make it onto my needles. Oh, I can't forget about the patterns I still want to create and the spinning and dying I want to do and the house I'd like to keep clean, and the...well, you know there's always something.

Time...never seems to be enough and my fingers need to move faster.

Resolutions

The end of 2010. I've been thinking about what resolutions I'd like to make. In the past my resolutions started out with a burst of enthusiasm, but were quickly forgotten. So quickly in fact, I don't remember them. This year, I'm determined to stick to something. I'm keeping it simple so I can get it done.

In 2011, I will:

blog more
stick to a bear making schedule
knit better
needle felt more
take time to doodle

There are many more things I'd like promise to commit to (how about cooking better and cleaning my house), but I'm keeping it simple and getting it done.

Happy New Year!
