Happy New Year, everyone. I usually avoid making annual resolutions, mainly as I have enough pressure to deal with, given my job and creative ambitions. Yet for once there are some things I'd like to do in 2023, and I don't think it will bother me if I make a list of New Year's Intentions. So, for this year, I'd like to:
1. Make this year 100% sustainable by not buying any new fabric, trims or notions. This because a) I have plenty on hand and b) it will motivate me to use what I have. I will reserve the right to buy recycled and vintage materials because that's my thing. To save fabric and sample garments from the landfills I expect I'll be buying what I need from Fabscrap.
2. Exercise at least once a day. This is a tough goal for me, but I know it helps with my various health issues, and I need to lose a bit before I reach my ideal weight. I already know I probably won't be able to do this, but I'm going to try.
3. Write a story just for fun. I haven't done this in a few years, so maybe during NaNoWriMo, or maybe I'll just tinker on something a little when I have downtime from the day job.
4. Do another thrift upcycle project. I really loved making over those three Goodwill boxes last year.
5. Clean out the closets. It's really time to start donating things we don't need, like sheets for beds we no longer own, clothes that are too big or small for us to wear, and especially hideous or uninspiring fabrics people have gifted to me that I held onto because I felt bad about getting rid of a gift, etc.
With all the other things I have planned that should keep me out of trouble. I should say that's my main intention for this year. :)
