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.
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.
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

A plan is a good place to start. It will take some adjusting to schooling at home but I am sure you will love it!
Dawn you seem to have as many things to do as me.. Good luck with the plan...
Happy New Year to you and your family! It's an excellent start to do all this planning! Hugs, Silvia
Wow and I thought my white board was full...lol.
Plans are good to have, but its also okay to stray as long as one has fun :)
All the best for 2013

Happy New year to you and your family. I wish you a wonderful time getting your goals crossed off.
Hugs xx
That sounds like a good plan Dawn. Even if you dont achieve it all it will because you have added other things along the way. Have to be flexible dont we.
Have a wonderful year, and at the end, look back and see just how much you have achieved.
Hugs xx
Planning and writing down works wonders. I must admit when I first glanced at your calendar, I saw a modern quilt. And, it would make a darn nice one. :-)
All of that AND the stitching weekper busy woman xx
hugsend - OMG girlfriend do you ever stop - you are an amazingly su
Hmmm, take one bit at a time and chew slowly! It took me two years to knock over the bulk of my UFO's and one year to gain a whole heap more!! Will be checking out Wendy's wisdom! Happy quilting Sue SA.
Homeschooling - oh Dawn what a GRAND adventure!!!! I hs'd my boys all the way through and what a blessing it has been. You will never regret. You'll have bad days, but you'll never regret it.
I need to make a plan for this year - I'm so bad at that, and then I come to the end of the year wondering just what the heck did I do??? You inspire me, hon!
Happy New Year Dawn. It looks like the planner is pretty full already & those gorgeous girls keep your life brimming with added fun each day. Enjoy 2013. Tracee xx
We'll have to keep each other on task this year Dawn!!! LOL
