Yes, it's already February and I haven't written down my resolutions for the year yet. I've been keeping busy though, so that's good, right?
My guiding theme for 2013 is time investment. Overall, my goal is to focus my time and energy on what I value, which are lifelong learning/personal development and self-expression/creativity.
Toward that end, my resolutions are to:
1) Complete seven paintings or drawings (preferably large-scale or on canvas)
2) Participate in art show at work
3) Learn how to knit (the photo associated with this post is the ribbed scarf that I'm currently working on)
4) Complete my crochet blanket (a continuation from last year)
5) Complete crochet hat
6) Refinish a chair
7) Refinish a desk
8) Refinish drawer
9) Try out lino printing
10) Finish reading Fellowship of the Rings
11) Create tile coasters
12) Crochet dish towels
13) Try amigurumi (crochet/knit stuffed animals)
A lot of items on my list are completely new to me, just as amigurumi and refinishing furniture, so it will be a learning experience. It's perfect because they combine my interest in learning new things/skills and arts and crafts. Also, they give me a sense of achievement to know that I am making progress towards a goal.
Let's see how much I can accomplish this year!
