I have been giving the New Year's Resolutions thing a lot of thought lately. I've never been into them, because I feel like I am just setting myself up for failure. Plus, I am a HUGE procrastinater, so I would probably just wait until December and then try to cram as much as I can into the already busiest month of the year. I do however, like the idea of giving myself some attainable - and very specific - goals.
Sewing Related Goal - Take at least 3 sewing / quilting classes in 2010. I'm signed up for my first one already! A machine quilting class in February. I really want to fine tune some skills so I can eventually make more professional products.
Community Related Goal - Open a table at the Pendleton Farmers Market this spring/summer selling SOMETHING. I am thinking crayon rolls, belts, cutesy kitchen linen sets, stuff like that. Oh, and Taylor wants to sell her tomatoes as well. :) My girl is awesome at growing tomatoes.
***** Hey crafty friends! If anyone wants to do a table with me, let me know! *****
Behavioral Goal - I need to work on yelling less. At the dog, the kids, the hubby, the idiot driving in front of me... just yelling in general. I do it way too often and am seeing it come out in my kids.
Family Goal - We have never had a family portrait taken. Not even the kind at Sears. I want to have some great pics taken in the late summer / early fall to do as Christmas presents for our parents.
*** Hey Angel... can you help us with this one? The photos on your blog are great! ***
So there it is folks. My 2010 goals. I have lots more in my head, but I am a total list maker. Which means if I start listing them all the list will grow over 50 of them. Then I'll get overwhelmed, down an entire 2 liter of Coke and never accomplish a single one of them. So I am going to use amazing restraint and keep it simple. For now.
