2015!

Well. It is 2015. Crazy.

I'm not the best at resolutions (and keeping them) but here goes... Not in any order:
- I got a Wii U Fit and have been doing a small amount of exercise (vs almost none before) and I want to keep it up. It also  has a pedometer which is fun to see how many steps I am taking!

- I would like to do more music. I would also like to be more active looking for new bands. (I used to spend a lot of time looking up obscure norwegian myspace bands etc.)

- I would like to read my Bible more.

- It may be less of a year of sewing because I am losing my sewing space, but I hope to make up for it by knitting more and possibly sewing smaller projects. I have a friend who wants to learn to sew better, and I look forward to helping. I did get some sewing tools/fabric $ and I do hope to keep up with it.

- Learn to cook better for my husbands food allergies. A recent success: Homemade Brown Rice Tortillas. We have been missing tortillas for so long.

- Maybe to learn to type better/faster. It would be helpful for my job and I have never taken typing classes and could be much better at it.

Okay six is probably too many. So I will stop there for now. And of course I would hope to blog more/take better photos/do updates that actually show the progression of projects.. but who knows if that will ever happen.

Here are a Few Christmas gifts: (photographed in our dark apartment...

 A Joy tea towel for my mom. Just look at alll that stitching!

  A Day of the Dead themed tea towel for Liz. Picture the sculls right side up.

 A cabbage patch themed ornament. I guess I probably failed to get photos of all of the awesome ornaments I did.

 Our Radio-Cat themed Xmas card that I silk screen printed (Hand-painted stencil)

1. 

 And I made a few bunnies. Super cute and not too hard to make. I made a cream one also, and am halfway through the 3rd one. I made them have four legs instead of two.

 I also hope at some point to upload photos from my digital camera and perhaps will unearth more project photos from the past.

Statistics

Wow. I once had a clothing excel spreadsheet. and I've just now found Dixie DIY's clothing spreadsheet. It is inspiring to see someone else working on the same thing. (Though my wardrobe organizing/reinventing has sort of been on the back burner.) I'm pretty sure my clothing spreadsheet went away when my computer died a while back. So, I will plan on making a new one! I also made a hand bound book cataloging my clothes in spring 2009- wow I guess I should finish it (I never quite finished the notes about the clothes) As I have had some turnover, perhaps I should make a new one, or give an update of some sort! Without counting, I know I need more skirts, since I only have a few (and fewer still that I wear), and I need more shirts that are not T-shirts. I also have several sweaters with boat-necks, which is great, except they're hard to layer... I guess I need boatneck tops to go along with them. Or just get better sweaters?

I will need to think more about this... :)

PS: I have been catching up on blog reading while I wait for my song tracks to upload to CD baby, which will then be available on iTunes, etc in the next few days. Hooray!

The distant future. The year 2000.

I saw this on a Facebook post by the Pendleton Woolen Mills. WOW!
