New year new experiences

Happy new year!

This is the year that I graduate and finally become a mama! 

Hurrah hurrah! 

I've got a good list of resolutions that I think will be really good for me (among them is running a half marathon! woo hoo!) and I've also decided to make a list of creative projects I'd like to do this year (I found the idea here).  I'm always making something, but I tend to put off bigger projects because they cost more or take more time, and then never end doing them.  In that light, I've decided to put a list of them here so that I can look back at them in order to plan ahead a little and actually do them! 

So in no particular order: 

1. Sew a quilt! 

2. Make some couch pillows. 

Either:

3. Make this skirt:

4. And this one:

5. Find a good picture of our family or Nikolai and make this:

6. Make this with little Nick's sweeeeet little feet:

7. Make a cool book for secret treasures:

8. Start a cool scrapbook:

9. Start an adventure book for our family! (we even have the book already!)

(Ours doesn't look like this, but here's the link from google: link)

Those are the main ones I can think of right now, but I'm sure I'll come up with some later! 

Here's to a wonderful new year!
