Thoughts for the New Year...

I should go back and look at what goals I set for 2011, but I haven't done that yet. The only "resolution" that I can find that I wrote about was that I wanted to wear my hair down for approximately 4 out of 5 days.  I've definitely accomplished that.  Woo hoo!  I like achievable goals!


There are some things that I've been thinking about for the new year that I would like to do/focus on:

• make some throw pillows for the house - I've seen sooo many wonderful ones around blogland and I really would like to make some for myself.  I'm sure I've got the majority of the fabric I would need for this in my stash
• continue to sew from my stash as much as possible
• knit myself a pair of socks and a hat
• knit my husband a hat
• sew a travel bag for myself...I've made for of these already and they have all been given as gifts... For weekends, I have been tossing my things in a re-usable Whole Foods bag.  I need something a little more presentable :-)
• make myself a Naughty Secretary Bag - I have the fabric already picked out and set aside...I just need to cut out the pieces and start sewing
• buy the Swoon pattern and possibly get started on that
• make a quilt for my nephew...his "golden" birthday will be in September and I am wanting to plan ahead.  I want to make him a quilt that will fit his twin-sized bed and I think I would like to get it quilted by a long-arm quilter, so I need to plan ahead

I'm sure there is lots more that I would like to do, but I can't think of it all now.  Plus, if I write too much down, I'll never be able to cross it all off.
