Well, this was a very interesting year and it flew by quickly. I learned some new computer skills, started a blog, finished lots of quilts for others, met new friends and did a bunch of sewing on projects to move them closer to being finished in 2013. I'm looking forward to the new year. I still have lots to get done and places to see and people to meet. I set a few goals at the beginning of 2012 to help keep me focused on some particular areas. I did well on some, others not too bad and some pitifully poor. Here's a recap of where I ended for the year.
- Read 12 books or 1 a month - yes - read 14
- Finish 12 UFOs - bad,bad - I only finished one
- Try 12 new recipes - tried 3 - if you count different smoothies I made, that number would be more like 30 or 40!
- Quilt or piece 12 Quilts of Valor - 5 quilted, several others ready to quilt, also made over 10 pillowcases for QOV
- Use 200 yds of fabric from stash - this was a stretch - If I had gotten some of my own quilts quilted, that would have taken me over 120 yds. These WILL be done in 2013 for sure.
- Use more fabric than I add to my stash - yes, Added 45 yds. used 91 yds. not too bad. Could improve.
2013 Goals
- Stash Busting Challenge - I'm hoping to use more than 100 yards- maybe 150 yds. this year
- New FO Challenge - start a new project each month - you don't have to finish any of them!! This should be real easy. It's what I do best. That's why I have over 50 UFOs.. (side bar button)
- Strictly For the Birds - BOM - (side bar button)
- Get It Done Challenge - 4 mini goals per month
- Finish 10 or more UFOs
- Read a book a month
- Walk 7,000 steps a day
