Plans for 2012

As you know, I play fast and loose with my goals, but I like to give myself a little direction every year. This year:
  1. Start nine new projects in my Modified Crazy January Challenge. (Nine because that's how many I completed last year in the original challenge.) I'm still choosing these. I think my original list featured too many Christmas and Halloween designs. I'll reveal all as I begin stitching each one. It will be fun--a surprise to all of us.
  2. Finish 1/3 of my WIPs, or six. (See sidebar.)
  3. Expand my freelance business, including getting my website running by January 31. (Third because this is a stitching blog, not in order of importance as the dude thought.)
  4. Read more, at least 25 books and preferably from our shelves.
  5. See one movie a month. We are woeful in our movie-going. So many things we want to see come and go before we know it.
  6. Do two punch needle pieces.
I also have some updating to do...got a little surprise in the mail and picked up some framing. But today I want to spend more time stitching and less on the computer. Cheers!

Happy New Year.

Your list looks interesting. I'm with you on the punch needle projects.

I think I need to actually stitch ONE project this year as I finished ZERO last year.

I didn't read as many books in 2011 - I did seem to be out-of-the-house more often + didn't carve out free time for creative adventures.

Perhaps 2012 will be different!

I enjoy your blog so much. Happy New Year to you (and the Dude).

I have to admit I stole your post. I just started my first blog, and I borrowed heavily from this post on your blog. You're a great blogger and stitcher... hope you don't mind if I learn from you.

Good luck with your goals Anna. I too see movies that come and go from the cinemas all too often LOL.
