2014 ended a whole lot better than it started... the challenges I had faced (and shed many a tear over) either became easier to deal with, or became resolved. The kids are growing up, I've secured work, my house is slowly becoming much more organised... I'm moving forward, and feeling happier than I could ever have imagined.
The goals I had for 2014 I managed to accomplish - including the stitching ones, on the most part! On the stitching front I managed a total of 12 finishes (my goal was 10) which I've summarised on my new tab 'Finished projects 2014'. Many of them were gifts for special occasions, so I didn't end up working on as many of my older projects as I had aimed for. I'm really happy however that Alex's "A Boy's Story" quilt top is complete, it's been pretty much 3 years in the making! Now to quilt it... hopefully that doesn't take another three years.
So what will 2015 bring? I start full-time work in 4 weeks, so I think the stitching will be somewhat limited this year. I want this year to be a good one, filled with happy times, positivity, embracing opportunities and change. I've got a new job to look forward to, and I want to make sure that my home life is as organised as possible so that I can get plenty of quality time in with the kids, get some exercise in, a few trips away maybe... and of course time to sew, craft, and quilt :)
If I get between 10 and 12 items completed this year I'd be pretty happy, and I'd like to see at least 2 UFO's finished. I think going into this year, if I make too many more rules then I'll quickly run into failure! I want to be a bit more relaxed in 2015 :)
What are your goals or plans for 2015?
Happy new year and until next time xx
Enjoy 2015 :) I think it will be a whole lot better than 2014 for all of us!
