Happy New Year!

Well Happy New Year All:

My goal is to start the New Year like it is the first day of school.  I want to keep the excitement of re-shaping my days and weeks.  I stopped making resolutions ages ago.  I set a few goals each year and try to get them done before December 31.  In 2011, my goal was to re-learn how to sew.  I had a Mother's Day weekend sewing circle sponsored by Singer.  It was a hit, but I felt something was missing in my own skills. I signed up for fashion classes at local community college.  I went to two family  reunions over the summer.

 I kept all of my doctor's appointments and kept my weight down.  I lost weight, but gain two pounds, but I  lost those by December 31st.  So, no extreme weight lost or weight gain in 2011.  I would say that 2011 was slow for the first  half of the year, but the last half was crazy fast.  I was taking two Fashion classes, my sister had surgery with a complication, and the holidays were rolling in fast.

My last goal for the year was to make a dress and create 13 gifts for an assistant living facility.  I got concern that I would not get everything done by December 31st, but I did.  I have posted the dress for you to see.  I was able to make fleece lap blankets for the assistant living facility.

 I was so rushed that I forgot to take a picture.  Everyone loved the lap blankets.  My goals for 2012 are very simple.  I want to take a vacation with my family.  Last year, we took separate vacations.  I want to continue taking Fashion classes.  I really enjoyed those classes.  I want to create a new gift for next year to give to the assistant living facility.  I working on options now.  Just a few of my thoughts!
