Retiring

I'm retiring this blog because I started a new one! I'll be posting much more frequently and mostly about home stuff and tutorials: www.asimplenest/typepad.com Please add me on my google friend connect button! I have no friends yet, sad. See around. Leave a comment on my new blog so I can follow your blog too!

Patchwork

Since I got a sewing machine, I've been planning to learn some quilting, so my radar has been on for awesome projects related to patchwork. I am loving the simplicity of this quilt made by Joelle Hoverson.
What a clever idea for old sweaters at Ready Made. I wish I could get back the last few boxes I just donated. I had some GREAT sweaters that would have worked well. I'll have to buy them back from the thrifts store now. haha.
This is a rug! I so want to make a patchwork rug now. I'm not sure if these are felted materials or what. Found here.
Another sweater felted blanket. Also found here.

Resolutions

New Year!
This year my main resolution is to make small sized goals weekly, and medium sized goals monthly. To follow a routine, and make daily to-do lists. In essence I'm resolving to resolve more often.

JANUARY

Financial goal: Make $100 through crafts (starting the year out modestly)
Home: Organize my kitchen cupboards and find a way to make it all fit
Spiritual: Keeping Sabbath day more holy
Physical: Loose 5 lbs (overall goal, to decrease body fat from 26% to 17% or 15 lbs)
