Projects I NEED To Finish

The first is a blanket made from my husband's firefighter sweatshirts. It may look done, but I still need to finish the edges.(It was supposed to be for Christmas, maybe now it will be for his birthday.) The second is magnetic board I am going to put in the frames I also have some pegboard to paint and put in them too. The magnetic board needs about 2 more coats of magnetic paint and whatever color I choose. I thought if I posted them as need to finish it would push me to finish.

I hate New Year's Resolutions...but I will make a list

So every year people want to get a "fresh start" and are motivated to do things they wish they did regulary, but don't. I hate the idea of a Resolution because it is so final and ultimate. You can only have one-lame. There are so many things that I want to learn and follow through with one seems like such a big decision. Too big for me. I don't even decide what I want to do until I am doing it. But I believe it is a good idea to make a list of goals to learn or try. There are a few crafts looming that I haven't tried yet and some that I am going to follow through with in the next year. In 2010 I will do the following.
1. Screenprinting-haven't done
2. Knitting-haven't ever done
3. Blog atleast 1 time per week
4. Paint all the upstairs trim that needs it
5. Make Lil Blue Boo's Sienna dress and Halter Tie Back Dress
6. Make a onesie out of a vintage tee
7. Make a gift and card for everyone of my family memebers this year
8. Decorate all of the 4 bedrooms in my house
9. Take pictures of all my projects
10. Make beer with my husband
