A little early, but what are your New Year's resolutions?

2015 I resolved to finish my UFOs. I did that!
2016 I resolved to finish my quilts. I did that and donated over 20 to abused women.
2017 my resolve is to make all of the kits I have accumulated! Bet I will get them done. Making resolutions is a good way to get things done. I try not to over burden myself with them but I do need that extra "push".

I must get back to a routine of excercise and eating healthier. For months I have been junking it out with food. I will be 60 later in 2017 and ten pounds have to come off. 15 if I am disciplined.
I also want to socialize more with friends. It is too easy to just hang at home. Of course that means I am sewing!

My only resolution is to change an unrealistic expectation into a reachable goal. I told myself I'd walk an hour each day this year and totally failed. I probably walked 30 times the whole year which really frustrated me. So I am committing to walking 30 minutes on my treadmill each day next year.

I don't think of them as resolutions but as a new way of life. I plan on traveling more as we bought a lovely RV that is only two feet longer than a pickup truck with a bath and small kitchen and a slide. I want to continue getting rid of things in our home that no longer are needed, I want empty drawers and closets. I want to make one quilt out of my lovely new fabric and then repair a vintage quilt that I've bought or finish my few UFO's. I want to learn how to sew more on my long arm (if it will work). Maybe some people would call them goals, but I think of these ideas as something to look forward to and if I can't do them all, that's OK too.

I don't really have any New years resolutions. I take one day at a time, do the best I can while still alive, and if another day comes, same thing. Every challenge that arrives, it's cared for, nurtured, and I pick up things as they need to be done.

Clean up better in-between projects (not necessarily just sewing ones). Get rid of 37 years accumulation of STUFF and stop bringing more stuff in!! And I would like to finish just ONE project in a timely fashion!! !!
