2009 NYR

This is where I’m going to try to keep an abbreviated version of my New Year’s Resolutions list.  For the full descriptions, see the post here.  And I’ll add relevant updates as the year progresses.  Maybe this will actually help me keep my resolutions this year

1. I resolve to start working out and eating better.  I’m not going to set a certain number of times a week or anything, but just in general, work out and eat healthy, and if I can lose 15-20 pounds while doing it, that’s even better. 

2.  No more caffeine. so far no caffeine

3.  I’d like to make SummerSadie a little more professional this year.  I’d like to develop a nice logo, and I’d like to get some business or moo cards, and some sort of other business paraphernalia to include in products, like stickers, inserts, or something. 

4.  I’m going to list some items on etsy this year, and my goal is to sell at least 1 thing (gotta start somewhere, right?).  Ideally I’d like to list one new product each month, but it may end up being every 2 or 3 months.  

5.  The last couple of years I’ve really spent all my time quilting.  But I have a ton of loves and interests, so in 2009 I’d like to have a little more variety.  I want to get back into cross-stitching, scrapbooking, and putting together puzzles.  So just be less one-track, and be more well-rounded in my crafty endeavors.   DONE 

6.  Learn to crochet.  DONE

7.  This year, I want to focus on some more traditional/antique quilting patterns.  I’d like to do a lonestar, tumbling blocks, grandmother’s flower garden, and depression square.  I’d also like to do a color wheel quilt, and finish up all the incomplete quilting projects from this year and years past.  See the WIP link at the bottom of the page to see all my current finish-ups. 

8.  I want to go to New York City and see the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, especially at Christmas.  We’ve started to plan the trip!!!

9.  I want to design my own quilt.  Designed, but not made yet    

10.  And one last one to round out a top 10.  I want to take time out to breathe, slow down and enjoy life more, and always count my blessings and be thankful for the little things in life that often get overlooked.  DONE

11.  The secret one.
