First: We'd like to sell our house....we thought we had it sold but the person backed out. It was devastating...but all things happen for a reason, I HAVE to believe that.
Second: I want to be more organized throughout my home. With 2 kids things get cluttered and I really dislike that 'look' around my house.
Third: I'd like to keep in touch with my family more and see them more often, they all live atleast 9 hours drive away.
Fourth: I'd like to finish more of my works in progress. I have been working on them in the last 2 weeks pretty heavily. I work differently than some, I like to have at least 5 or more projects at my sewing table at once. I get more done that way...it's efficient for me.
Fifth: I'd like to use more of my fabric. So many quilters call this stash. I think that has almost a negative connotation for me. IF I buy fabric, I'd rather feel good about it. So I am not calling it my stash. I consider ALL of the fabric WIPs....they are all part of a work in progress so I guess it's really part of #4 goal. LOL
There are many more things I'd like to do this year...however, these are top of the list.
Since I wrote this yesterday....I have organized both daughters clothing and removed the small sizes to be sent to Goodwill. That was a BIG item off my list. Plus I finished piecing this quilt....I know not that complicated of a pattern but this fabric is too busy for complicated. I like each fabric individually. It's quite trendy and I know exactly who I will give it to. So I just need to get quilting it...whew...lofty goals...LOL

I try not to make any New Years resolutions.
I like the resolutions that you have made. you even started on the organization part, good for you! I love the quilt top you put together. I wish you best of luck in completing all your goals! Hop on over for a terrific giveaway at my blog this week.
I love setting goals. It's what pushes me to get things done. You know, being able to cross a task off that list. So satisfying! Have a happy New Year!
Your #1 happened to us too. Buyer backed out less then an hour before closing. After much time has passed, we got a new buyer. We're supposed to close next week. I too had told myself that things happen for a reason. New buyers are a super nice family (the other buyers were horrid). Friends kept telling me, "it will happen" (selling the house)... and hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday I can say they are right!
Maybe you need some St. Joe-Joe mojo? He worked for me. Initially I asked him to find a nice family to buy our house. Well... he found a nice family, though it took a while. I suggest if you have a St. Joe-Joe... be very careful what you ask him for, because he delivers!
