Happy 2011










It's a year of new resolutions...or in my case old ones that I just need to focus on a little harder.

2010 was a good year for me. I became more conscience of my health and exercise routine. I feel better and see results from my efforts. More to do, still need to stay focused. I enjoyed spending quality time with family and wonderful friends and am truly very blessed in that department!

My sales in my consignment shop were steady. Sales for my online shops were nothing to write home about, but considering little promoting, not really that bad. Need to step up to the plate more in 2011. However, I had more custom orders for 2010 than ever before. I have a constant stream of ideas for shop items, finding the time to make it all come together is the challenge. I was able to get my second pattern out on the market, which is a miracle in itself. Others are in the wings and fingers crossed that I can get #3 and maybe #4 underway in 2011.

I didn't teach classes as much as I had hoped in 2011, but I resolve to schedule more this year. I have been networking some and have two different ventures I hope to pursue that have come my way recently. I'm hoping those work out, time will tell, wish me luck.

I have been the most disappointed in my blogging for 2010. I mean really, my last blog post was August 9th? So I had nothing I wanted to write from 8/9/10 to today, 1/1/11? Not true, I had much I wanted to share, but getting it from brain to typing fingers was always the thing I would do next - and next just didn't come. I've done several recent projects that I hope to share with pictures. I am vowing to do a better job of blogging in 2011.

So that's it for my resolutions. Not over the moon, just reasonably realistic.

I hope that you will also accomplish your New Year resolutions for 2011, both new and old! Here's to good health, much love, friendship and prosperity!

I need to do better for 2010

It's a new year...
It has been awhile since my last post. I am a slacker...a post slacker...I'm not proud...been busy with the holiday sewing and just not into it.
I need to do better for 2010.

I have had some new ideas for quilted items in my shops swirling around in 2009. Somehow, they just never got made.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed and get anxious and then nothing gets accomplished, personally or professionally.

I have the most awesome and supportive husband and family. I should let them know more often how special they are.

I also have great on-line friends and friends that surround me in my everyday walk of life. (You all know who you are.) Have I told you how much I treasure your friendship?

I no longer make new year resolutions. There is already too much guilt in the world. None of us are perfect, we all can use improvement. The saying "be patient, God isn't finished with me yet" sums it all up for me.

I do, however, wish to give many thanks and blessings with this coming New Year. I have a wonderful life filled with love, family and special people. I have an income from a part-time job that contributes to the household. I have the freedom to create my sewn and quilted items which is my passion.

This quilt quote pretty much sums it up for me....
Our lives are like quilts - bit and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched with love.

May you have many bits and pieces of the
good life for 2010. I wish that all your dreams for 2010 come true.
Blessings~
