Resolution 2012

Well lets see a re-cap from last year's
 get taller. .  Yeah-still holding steady at 5'5.75
study for my PE and pass my PE in April. Yes! I passed it! got my own embossing seal and a stamp to prove it!!
Is resolving to never get another address wrong a resolution? Not this year
Can I resolve to finish at least two of the five quilts I have started? I can, but in reality, I'll probably just start one or two more...Umm...finished the quilt for my BFF, and my mom quilted Grandma's star, and the Hallowe'en quilt is nearly done.  And I scrapped one that I had started, but replaced it with that damned storm at sea...so check.
de-stash some beads-not really. not at all.  i had some major sprees this year that were not followed by destashing of any magnitude. FAIL...I do resolve to cut apart everything in my "to cut apart" pile and finish 2 things in my UFO pile. Nope...

I also resolve to 'boop' Marvin's nose, at least once a day :) I think I got that one :)

For 2012,
I resolve to get taller...again

 I resolve to bead at least 10 ornaments, throughout the year or all at once doesn't matter, either way. 

I resolve to blog at least once every 2 weeks, preferrably more, but 70+ hours of work doesn't leave much time :(

I resolve to finish one quilt completely on my own without having to say Moooooooooooom! fix this?

I resolve to start an OBW quilt. And piece no less than 30 sets of triangles OR start my friends' quilt involving circles in a fractal design.

That's reasonable, yeah?

Resolution!

I think I may be on the way to keeping some resolutions

I studied and passed my PE exam!

I'm doing pretty well with the nose booping!

I'm not doing very well with the de-stashing, but since I've joined Operation Tackle That Bead Stash, I think I might see change on the horizon!

and two of my in-progress quilts are finished! My mom finished quilting the star quilt that I pieced-There are pics of the top here-I have photos of the quilt proper somewhere, but not here :(

Also, I pieced and quilted this one in quarters, but when it came to connecting the pieces, I gave up. I tried and tried and they just looked sloppy-so the obvious thing to do was...MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooom! Can you fix this? And she did. And it's perfect :)



I reckon after a washing, alot of the puckering will go away, but I'm so happy and I truly hope my bestest friend will like it. She likes Scooby Doo and the color pink, so she SHOULD.


Anyway, thats two finished out of five, so now I can start eleventy-three more? Right?

Also, I'm not getting any taller...

Resolution

It's the new year, and I, like millions of other people have my resolutions. Maybe I'm odd, but I have public resolutions and private resolutions. I guess the private resolutions are almost like admitting failure at something and if I reveal them to others, they will laugh at me. They don't though...

I make the public resolutions to give them something to laugh at instead.

Example-
This is the third year I have resolved to get taller. The original rationale for this was that it was a resolution I was going to break anyway, might as well make it ridiculous.

My real resolutions are more difficult

I don't make the grand statement of goals. I have little goals that I carry out through the day. I guess I resolve to study for my PE and pass my PE in April.
Is that a resolution? It's more of a necessity. And it (hopefully) won't last the whole year.

Is resolving to never get another address wrong a resolution?

Can I resolve to finish at least two of the five quilts I have started? I can, but in reality, I'll probably just start one or two more...

Can I resolve to de-stash some of my beads? In the quilter sense of measure what you have and what you use and what you buy? How would one even do that? Certainly not bead by bead...tube by tube? I don't know...I really should lay out my stash one of these days. I would actually like to see it all laid out :)

I do resolve to cut apart everything in my "to cut apart" pile and finish 2 things in my UFO pile. I think thats a real resolution right?

I also resolve to 'boop' Marvin's nose, at least once a day :)
