A blog I read regularly, Tea for Joy has challenged readers to post their style resolutions for 2010. So after some consideration - here we are:-
- I want to appreciate the opportunity for every corner of my home. Like my kitchen windowsill above. I want every corner to reflect who I am, and things I love. A tall order perhaps...but there are so many corners that you overlook or just accept as being unchangeable. I want to challenge that this year.
- I will finally learn the art of displaying a group of pictures on the wall. I have seen so many beautiful examples of this on flickr photo groups and other blogs, magazines. I think perhaps I am building this up into something more than it is......and I just need to be brave and do it.
- I want to devote more time (please someone tell me where to find time....it just slips away from me) to crafting. I desperately want to learn to crochet to create some of the beautiful granny square cushions I have seen and adore like this one below from Emma Lamb.
- Our main project for 2010 will be the bathroom we started to dismantle 18 months ago when we moved here, and ran out of budget for. I will find the funds to tackle this and create a functional, but beautiful bathroom. On a shoestring.
There is never enough time. Crocheting will be fun. I found joining a class helped me get on task with my craft, sewing. It makes it easier to stick with it because I know all those other women will be expecting me. Enjoy your style resolutions!
ReplyDeleteGreat resolutions! I'm not sure what mine are. Since this year, I doubt I'll have a home. lol
ReplyDeleteI am with you on learning crocheting. It has been on my list forever. May be I need to make it my resolution too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all - bought the wool and crochet hook. Spent many wasted minutes watching crochet videos on videojug...but to no avail.
ReplyDeleteI think finding a real life teacher may be the answer!
