New Year’s resolutions – an Update

Sharonb, over at inaminuteago, has posted an update on her new year’s resolutions, and she has asked how others were going with theirs. Well…. I wrote about my resolutions here.

So what have I achieved so far?

1. I completed January’s TIF project here.
2. I did January’s journal quilt, here.
3. I have almost finished my ‘try something new every month’ needlepoint sampler here. I am not doing one for February – I will concentrate on Sumptuous Surfaces instead.
4. I have kept up to date with all the TAST stitches so far - here.
5. I am doing Sumptuous surfaces.
6. I have made progress on one WISP – Antipode Island, update to be posted soon.
7. I have started one new project Giant Plaid Ohio Stars, update to be posted soon.
8. I have been blogging regularly.

So I have achieved everything I wanted for January so far, and while I haven’t started a lot of the new projects, I am working on the WISPs which are more important. A number of WISPS won’t even be started until winter – I cannot quilt in summer – too hot to sit under a quilt!

And I have been looking after the children et al.

On the subject of New year’s resolutions: Mark McGuiness (who wrote the e-book on time management I posted here) has a series of great posts on his blog Wishful Thinking on New Year’s Resolutions, how to make them and how to keep them, and, why they fail! I wish I’d read this before I made my horrendously long list. I’ve only just discovered his blog, but it is full of great stuff. I’m a new fan.
