4th Day Giveaway

Since today is the first day of the year it is only fitting that i go into a little review of the last don't you think? We all chatted about our goals and such last night, but really did i want to tell them everything? um. no. So I sat down and thought about it a bit----but,
Before getting myself to peg down a few new goals for the year of 2010 I will review last years. Not sure how this is going to turn out.

Here I go in some attempt to make plans for the future. The year of 2009.

* Have my items in a few places for sale. Whether that be a store, boutique, market..whatever. Give it a go.
I did this!!! Art Market is my favorite and I will definitly keep that one going. I might give a few new ones this year a try too.
* Make more from my scraps. --i have a heavy heart when i take the trash out and there are some scraps in there that i really could use in a small quilt...or something.
I really tried hard on this one. My stash is dwindling a bit and i will continue the effort.
* Be more consistent with the kids with music lessons.
Did this---ok. maybe i didn't start until August, but i did start!!
* Make my patterns i have a bit more professional. I am currently working on this. Thank you Tiffany.
I did this! I didn't do anything fancy, but i did make them all one file to download. yay.
* Go to a quilt market again. (Went in 2007- good year) Either one would be good. Spring or Houston. Maybe even catch up with a few new bloggers who will be there selling.
WWAAAAA.....didn't get to do this. I did go to HMQS, but not the other biggies.
* Loose another 10 pounds. That's what i lost last year....wouldn't mind a re-peat. but not with the same pounds.
I am so NOT a looser! I must try this again.
* Be more giving with my quilts. Why am i such a quilt hog? I really do have enough. I need to learn how to share--again.
I did this sparingly.  I could have done more.
* Keep a cleaner house. Really this should say---change my attitude about cleaning my house. enough said.
Whatever. this is always on the dockett of things to do.

Overall I think i did ok!! What a relief!
So to keep in the spirit of making new resolutions for this 2010 year---let's see what i can do:
* Have one quilt in an official quilt show. Not just a group showing {i do that already}, but in a bigger show.  oh, hey does the 'O' Quilt count? ok. I won't count that one. So i need 2 in a show this year. Pressures on.

* Loose some weight. Notice there is no number here. I must try and do something girls!!! something.

* Continue to Build Patchwork Posse.  I am so excited!!! Starts in 4 days!!

* Be more excited about cooking.  Now, i love to make bread, but dinner....i have a hard time with that one.  I need to expand my recipe collection of easy nutritious things to a little more fancier. think outside of the box. but i really don't use the box too often now...hmmm

* Go outside more! Lately I have been staying inside a bit much. I need to venture out of doors more often. I am sure that will help another goal further up on the list too :)

* Keep in touch better with friends that are far away.

If i think of anything else i will add to the list. Today, they seem very do-able. Later on in the year.....somehow they loose their luster and get lost in life. We'll see what I can do. wish me luck!

How about you girls? Make any new goals? Resolutions? Share it if you want.

Today- I just might be doing this little mystery. Looks tempting.

A few of you have noticed that the poll has dissapeared from the side bar.  Well, the year is over and according to the polls---One Yard Wonders has won!!!! yay!! I am excited for this one! So because of that----I need some help. I can't sew everything nor do i want to.....so
