January 1st, 2010

shiny and new

I’m sure you’ve already heard it several times by now, but Happy New Year!

January is always so promising.  Fresh starts, new hopes.  It doesn’t matter what happened last year- you now have a clean slate and second chances.  I have a long list of things I would like to do in 2010.  I’ll share some with you:

  • Knit and sew at least one project a month (this means finished projects)
  • Take three pictures that represent my day and post them as a triptych on flickr.
  • Get a fence built
  • Repaint the living room, hallways, and our bedroom.
  • Find new bedding and towels (there’s got to be a white sale somewhere)
  • Install new flooring
  • Clean and organize the basement so Evelyn and I can spend more time down there playing and crafting (maybe put up a swing down there?)
  • Cook and bake something new at least twice a month
  • Travel more, even if its just locally

There are so many more.  I have a running list and I’ll see how many I can get accomplished and checked off by the end of the year.

I hope you have a happy, healthy, and kind new year!  Love, The Olsons
