These are the only resolutions I like to make. Losing weight I no longer bother with, and anything else like trying to keep my car clean or saving money…well those are great in theory but too hard to do on a daily basis. But my main resolution this year has to do with crafting and that is learning to sew.

This past year I’ve really wanted to learn, but in the last few weeks the itch has gotten bad. I had asked my mom to show me the basics on her machine, and she saw an opportunity for a great Christmas gift and I was blessed with a new sewing machine. Now I just need to learn how to use it…

My list of projects isn’t very long (or difficult) - a skirt, handbag, curtains for the dinning room - but I’ll be documenting them here, all the good, the bad, and the ugly. And for those of you who sew I’m really hoping you’ll chime in for some feedback and any tips you may have. I’m counting on you to help me not fail this resolution.

So with the oncoming year and new ideas that have inspired you, what are your new years craft resolutions?
