Phew that was a busy year..... I can't believe how much I made!
My plans for 2014 included…
- Book in for 3 big craft fairs at Christmas & don't waste time throughout the year - NOPE - I only did one fair & it was successful but as always I wasted time throughout the year
- Plan ahead & make stock that will sell - be organised! - Of course not!
- Complete my things to do list - NOPE.... yet another year when it carries over
- Make something for me! YES!!!! Hat, turban, trousers, red cardigan, gloves, 3 service men, poppy brooch, Christmas jumper, scarf,
- Think of different ways to continue Make, Do and Mend on a small scale - No, maybe this year
- Continue reading - I've lost my mojo again
- Spend more time with my family (my mum has been poorly) - I think so
- Spend less time on my laptop & more time crafting - Nope..... must try harder!
- Stay happy! Great start to the year but went pear shape when Paul moved out in August & the house started falling apart.
So 2015….. what will you bring?
- Be amazing in my new job! (More on that later in January)
- Sort out my crafting area
- Decorate my living room & bathroom
- Read more books
