Wow, compared to last year, I'm way ahead on this! I know some people hate resolutions and never make them, but I am someone who loves them, makes them, and for the most part keeps them. I get this from my mom, who thinks of January as the time of year to reevaluate and improve. It's not like you can't improve throughout the year also, but the new year just makes it that much easier to keep track. So here are mine for this year:
1. This is my big one--Wear something that I have made every day this year. Okay, so it's only the fourth of the month, and I'm running out of items already. The underlying goal here is to make more clothing for myself. It will require much planning, learning, and creativity, but I am excited to give this a real try. There is room for growth here, so this week I've worn several pairs of handmade earrings, a brooch, and the shirt I made for myself over the summer. But that's a start! And while my family was in town last week, I sat down and knitted a pair of socks during our dvd-watching time. This was my first pair to complete, and I'll post a picture of them asap.
2. This is more of a goal than a resolution, but I hope to have two craftivism fundraisers this year. The "sheepish" goal was set and completed, and although I hope to go into more detail later, I want to let all of you know that we donated the full $500 to Heifer International last week. THANK YOU! The next two fundraisers will be for Susan G Komen breast cancer research, and (I think) Compassion International.
3. Get a handle on my craft supplies. I have a lot to go through, and much to add to my etsy supply shop, Rope.
So, are you making any goals for yourself this year? I'd love to hear about them!
