Challenge #3 announced: Bunting

Challenge #3 was posted on Iron Craft yesterday. I got off to a great start today. I picked my fabrics from the scrap pile, made my pattern, sewed and turned my triangles. Tomorrow I will figure out the best way to string them all together.

This craft a week is going to be a challenge, but I need something to keep my creative juices flowing. I’m feeling very stifled already this new year. It’s only a matter of time before I am able to do something that makes me feel accomplished. I’m not sure that these crafts are it, but I do have a bigger goal in mind. It’s a secret goal that I’ve dreamed about since I was a little girl, and the deadline was three and a half years ago. Now I say there is no time like the present to live dreams and smile.

Sorry for the cryptic post, but someday it will all make sense. Pictures of the bunting to come soon!

… Happy New Year! Yes, I know I’m a week late.

I’m a big believer in New Year’s Resolutions. I strive on goal and objectives. In college my favorite classes focused on strategic planning complete with clear goals, measurable objectives and specific tactics to meet those goals. In my professional life, my dream job would allow me to work the same way.

This year, instead of popping out a few sentences on January 1 and forgetting them by now, I’ve taken some extra time to consider my new year’s resolutions. I’ve decided my first goal will be to make smaller goals through out the year. And when I set those goals, I will also have to plan how to achieve them.

The few goals I have now are as follows:

1. Be a neater cleaner person in my personal spaces (home, work, car, etc).

2. Read one nonfiction book a month

3. Participate in the Iron Craft year of crafty challenges.

As more goals creep up, I will include them. I will mark-up a way to make them happen. My goals will no longer be fluffy pretty sentences, but instead actions.

Please stay tuned for future information.
