<p>Before we get too far into the new year, I thought it best to set out some achievable resolutions for myself.  I find list writing to be a very useful tool. I&#8217;m constantly surprised at how much more I get done, when a list has been made.  Hence the reason behind &#8216;<a href="http://makesomething.ca/my-crafty-list-of-things-to-do/" target="_blank">My crafty list of things to do</a>&#8216;. I&#8217;m making a separate list of goals for <a href="http://www.theworkroom.ca" target="_blank">the workroom</a>, but I&#8217;ll keep that private for now. I don&#8217;t want to give everything away just yet.</p>
<li>Eat breakfast every morning (not just pie and cupcakes)</li>
<li>Increase my calcium intake (so I don&#8217;t feel guilty at my yearly check up with my doctor)</li>
<li>Do yoga classes (there&#8217;s a yoga studio right across the street!)</li>
<li>Take a week long vacation (while the shop stays open!)</li>
<li>Read more books (i&#8217;m now part of a book club, so i hope this helps)</li>
<li>Finish unfinished projects from last year or before (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theworkroom/2314458865/" target="_blank">quilt sampler</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theworkroom/2884874333/in/set-72157605781429616/" target="_blank">queen-sized quilt</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/theworkroom/2235603796/in/set-72157603832303290/" target="_blank">patchwork pillows</a>, pair of pants)</li>
<li>Take 2 days off a week, rather than 1 (some weeks)</li>
<li>Keep reducing the amount of plastic in my life (must make re-usable bags for the bulk food store)</li>
<li>Get organized &#038; keep writing lists (my <a href="http://makesomething.ca/2008/11/18/new-agenda/">new agenda</a> is waiting to be filled)</li>
<p>On a side note, one year I kept a running list of various things in my life such as how many cartons of orange juice or eggs I had bought, how many movies I had seen, books I had read, how many flights I had taken, etc. It was a fascinating list and I really wish I had kept it.</p>
<p>I was on television last night for about five seconds on a new HGTV show called, &#8220;<a href="http://www.hgtv.ca/ontv/titledetails.aspx?titleid=115469" target="_blank">The Decorating Adventures of Ambrose Price</a>&#8220;. We had filmed for the entire afternoon and part of a class and in the end they used the tiniest slice (thankfully). It was both thrilling and horrifying at the same time.</p>
