Crafty Resolutions for 2012

by |Filed Under: Crafts Tagged With: , , Get a Weekly Update of all Articles

I’m not a big one for making resolutions each year. When I have, I haven’t kept them very well. I either change my mind or just don’t follow through. But I thought I’d try to have some goals for this year in my “crafty” life. Most of them are about finishing things. I’m hoping that by gathering them here, I’ll be more likely to finish them. I’ll let you know if it works!

I’m going to link up over at And Sew We Craft where Talia has shared her craft goals for the coming year as well. We’d love it if you wrote about your goals – be they big or small – and linked up as well.

  1. I really want to improve my knitting this year. I have seen the cutest knitted nativity characters on the Salvation Jane blog, but I think my knitting is not nearly up to that standard yet. I have done crochet stars before and they are quick and easy.

  2. And people thought I had a lot of goals. 😛

    Can’t wait to see all the pics and stories of these! We should have a blog meetup/craft day some time!

  3. Wow! You have a lot of goals this year Tonya! I would like to try my hand at sewing myself a dress too. Bit scared to make clothes for myself to tell you the truth.

    Can’t wait to see your Zhu Zhu pet clothes 😛 Miss Mahli has already asked me to make some for her new zhu zhu pets and he blythe dolls too.
