Should they be resolutions or goals??? No idea - and usually don't make resolutions! But I need to make some serious changes - get some aspects of my life back under control.
One of the forums I follow (http://mqresource.com/forum) has two challenges I'm participating in. Like many quilters, I do have a "wee" bit more fabric than I really need ... maybe even a substantial stash. And I really need to give my knees some relief. So ... I'm going for a 50-50-50 win. Reduce my stash by 50 yards (majority of the mqresource players deal in yards so I'll play along with that); lose 50 pounds; in 50 weeks.
The stash reduction is a net - and I can reduce any way I want - donate, give away, make projects, sell. So I'm keeping track of the cuts as I'm going when I'm doing projects.
Sounds like fun. And I'm off to a good start. Lost 1.5 lbs this week. Working on a quilt for my great-nephew who is scheduled to arrive shortly; quilted my youngest's summer project quilt. So I get to count the backing and binding for that quilt as they went on in 2012! Have to tally that all up-guesstimating that to be 8 yards already.
