New Year Resolutions

Yes, I am one of those.  I admit it.  I make resolutions.  I have the normal ones - lose X pounds, save more money, etc.  One of the big ones that I am trying to keep this year is staying on a very restrictive craft diet.  I am attempting to not make ANY craft purchases for the first 6 months of the year and then reassess.  Some people would find this silly but for me this is harder than any food diet.  I LOVE craft stores and probably make 1 to 2 craft purchases each week on average.  No worries, my craft love has not been diminished.  I am just trying to focus my craft love on all of the projects and inspirational ideas I have had already.  I have the necessary tools and supplies already for thousands of projects and that is what I will be working on. 

Some recent projects include making some small holiday gift bags for next Christmas, making some Dora pillows for my niece (sew and stuff panels).  I also worked of organizing some of my fabric to be displayed on a new 3 shelf bookcase.  It looks really colorful and provides a reminder of all the fabric I have when inspiration strikes.  I also just started knitting a hexagon lap blanket in Harry Potter Ravenclaw colors.

Well I am off to knit another row.  Hope your weekend is crafty!
