New Year...

New Year, and I have some new resolutions!

1. Must blog more.  The latter half of last year became very difficult due to some major health issues for my family.  I'm already quite isolated, and retreating into a little lonely world of worry only exacerbates that.  So this year, I resolve to put myself out there a bit more, and blogging is a part of that. 

2. Sew more.  Partly due to circumstances beyond my control, I didn't sew as much last year, and I missed it!  So if I'm not going to be at home, or if I'm in the car, I need handsewing.  Those difficult circumstances will be continuing for some time yet, so I need to get prepping!

3. Try more.  I want to stretch and try new things.  New techniques, new colours.  I also promised myself that I would try some dressmaking; I put it off until I had lost some weight.  Now that I have, no excuse!  I've been dabbling in crochet, so that's included.

There's more, but I'm mentally able to sort them under these categories.  Keep it simple!  I want to try to not take things so personally, but I'm categorising that under putting myself out there.
