I have decided to start writing and sharing my thoughts and creations for the whole year of 2011. I would like to have company as I go on this journey, so I am inviting all of you to come along.
This past year has been full of learning, some disappointing, some exciting and some I am not so sure about. Life is full of learning no matter how old you are and I think I am really glad about that. What I don't like is having to take the hard knocks along the way. So having a creative outlet is wonderful and my desires this year is to sew for myself, my kids, my grandkids, and I am really excited about sewing all the ideas and love designs I have been holding back for years. I don't care if I sell a thing, I just want to fill my shop with all the ideas and love designs that I so want to create.
I started the first of Dec. making a beautiful quilt for my oldest daughter. It was her christmas gift and I think she really liked it. I wanted to give her a little joy since she has not had alot of joy the past few months. With a very ill son, she has had much heartache and tears. Knowing there is a long road ahead I just wanted her to beable to curl up in a quilt filled with my love and find a few moments of comfort since I can not be there to hold her myself. I have plans to make all my children a love quilt this year.
My other big goal is to clean every room in my house. Make each room just the way I want and declutter. We have already taken two car loads of junk to the goodwill truck and it hasn't even made a dent. I think with the decluttering I will be able to think more clearly and not feel so overwhelmed all the time. My living room is almost finished and one bedroom is available for guests. Now I just have to keep it that way.
I am already feeling that this blogging is a good idea. I have not done journaling in years, this just might be a good substitute. So please come follow me and see how I do on my big goals for 2011.
I am excited to read your thoughts and hear how you are doing through your new blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea mom. I like to blog but don't always write as often as I would like. I'm looking forward to reading yours this year.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do love my blanket. It's gorgeous. I sent pictures to my mother-in-law and added a few from Christmas this year, one was of Evan and I opening the blanket. She told me that she really loved it as well.
