HAPPY NEW YEAR
I love new Beginnings, Not just a new year, but think of all as a new beginning, a new birth, a new day, new weeks and new months, perhaps a new relationship, new friendship, Oh the list could go on and on..... I always have believed that everything new in our life appears for a reason, not long it might perhaps become an "old" in our life but some times if we take the time to quiet the mind and sit and reflect how we felt when things were NEW, it brings back that spark or the calm we seek to begin fresh,.
I spent some time catching up in blogs that I love to read, and as I read a few of them found myself inspired, in awe, amazed and last but not least totally blessed to have these connections and friends! I truly have been blessed and wanted to say THANK YOU for being in this part of my life.
Last week I created a list of things I want to accomplish in 2011...no particular rhyme or reason to it... but thought I would share some of them here...
1. Learn to knit (scarf or dishcloths)
2. Complete 3 water color paintings,
3. Complete 3 collages
4. Participate in 3 ATC swaps
5. Make 36 ATC cards (3 for each month and what the month resembled)
6. 3 Orphanage quilts
7. Learn some new embroidery stitches.
8. Learn to do a thread sketch
9. Crochet an afghan
10. Crochet 2 backpacks
11. Lose 25 -50 pounds
12. Eat at least 1 piece of fruit each day
13. Make 2 doilies
14. Crochet 1 filet hanging
15. Sew some gift bags with draw strings
16. Add more flowers to the Reiki Garden

ReplyDeleteWonderful list, I hope you have a creative year working on them. Happy New Year to you, dear friend. :)Bea
ReplyDeleteI like making a goal list. Started doing that a few years ago. Even if I never get to half of them, it's a great motivator and just a good list to have nearby when I am wondering what to do next. Last year mine was more detailed and this year it is more general, but always fun to do. I get excited about new beginnings, too!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we connected online, lady! I'll be waiting to see pictures of some of these wonderful things you are gong to make and learn how to do. :):)
good luck on the goals, looking forward to another year of your blogs
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Reba!
ReplyDeleteMay all your goals be achieved in 2011.
What a great list!
