2022 Goals and Plans

It's that time of year to actually write down my plans and goals before I forget them (like I did last year!). Overall, 2021 was a very good year for me craft-wise and many of my goals are to continue similarly to be able to say the same thing at the end of 2022. 

For our family, this will be a busy year, as 2022 will end with my daughter completing college applications! I am not sure how that spunky 2-year old is more than halfway through her high school years. She will likely be heading far away from home, so this year will probably include one or two trips to visit schools. She's not set on a major yet, but is exploring a few based on her great experiences with theater and journalism in high school. She also says that being a teacher is still on her list, so we'll see how the college prep goes. My son plans to run track this spring and play tennis again in the fall, and we are looking forward to cheering him on in these endeavors. Our Girl Scout troop is planning an east-coast trip in the summer and I am looking forward to showing them some of my favorite places. 

On to the craft-related goals...

1. Continue 

• Filming Two Tall Stitchers Flosstube with my mom
• Posting Sunday Morning Stitching. If you are someone who stitches (with any kind of needle) on Sunday morning and have an Instagram account, please join me by tagging #sundaymorningstitching on your posts
• Tracking number of days with at least 15 minutes of crafting time
• Tracking stats for stash reporting and stitching finishes and FFOs

2. Make good progress on Inspirational Stitches for Young Women - I would like to have at least 7 or 8 complete by the end of this year. I have two done now. 

3. Take some time to cull through fabric and patterns (stitching and quilting) and divest myself of those that no longer interest me, or that I've made already and don't plan to make again. 

4. Finish one and make good progress on another gift quilt for friends. 

5. Homemade Holiday - plan for and use the year to make gifts for Christmas - I always think of things to make in the weeks leading up to the holidays and by then, it's really too late, so I want to be more intentional about making gifts through the year. 

I think that's a good list to keep me grounded for the year - I am sure other things will come up and I will roll along with them when they do.  Let me know in a comment what your plans or goals for the year are - I'd love to hear about your focus as well.
