Its a brand New Year...

What will I do with this year...2013, 12 months

to do some wonderful things, spend time making memories

 with my Darling Husband - the love of my life... 

my big boys and their wives, my little girls and 

my grand babies and their families.

 Time to sew, chat with friends, some time away to recharge

 and just enjoy life with those around me.

 Maybe make a mark on the world in some way or another!

 Will I achieve the things I plan, I don't know and 

 maybe just maybe I'll add many more to it.... will I stick to my plan or stray.

 Guess I won't know till I try...

 What do you do to start the new year, do you start good intentions?

 and then get sidetracked with life and things..

 I do a  plan to what I want to achieve, so I at least end up 

 accomplishing more than the last year, just a little..

 I failed dismally in 2012 with many intentions 

not planned well enough in advance

 so when life hit a few bumps I was not prepared.

 So this year is different!

There a few things/oops maybe more than a few things

 on my calender all ready for 2013!

 I have looked through last years diary and added the birthdays and

 all my families celebrations to this years diary.

That's a good starting point.

 Still looking good at a glance...lots of space to fill still...

 

Then I add the things I really would like to do if time permits,

 I just put a few in so I'll make them a priority.... I hope!

1. 2013 SAL (I actually accomplished last years quilt)

2. Scrappy Trip Along (find pattern HERE - great stash buster)

 Not sure who actually started this informal quilt along

but after see Nat's post on Face book I wanted to join in.

 Visit Brenda, Katy and Rita to read about it.

3. Start again on my Dear Jane and post monthly at least, 

 4 a month is achievable I think.

 I have put this off a few times and start again then don't like my colors...

well I now have a plan... so I'll be making at least a block a month

 if I can 4 a month.

4. Finish my Farmers wife quilt, 20 blocks made, loads to go.

5.  Attack my UFO pile and make some progress.

 One every two months I think I can achieve, especially as I have big

big big UFOs, like 4 large quilts and lots of little projects.

 If you want to join Wendy and I and BUST- OUT 13, read HERE!

6.Birthday gifts decided on, made and sent on time...LOL

 Wendy has a fabulous idea here, join in and have some gifts ready.

7. Craft forum hexi swap hexagon and Monthly quilt along.

And I will add some more as I see them on the net...ha ha

 I love looking at pretty things and then making them for my home,

 my family and for friends as gifts... 

 But at least I have a plan started, it may not turn out,

 especially as this year we are schooling at home.

 That's another post, another time....

 Happy Cinnamon Hugs
