New year, new goals

I can hardly believe 2010 is behind us already. So quick!!! It was a pretty productive year here in Crafty Musings land. Here are a few statistics:

Quilts 2010
  • 7 quilts
  • 5 flannel blankets
  • 28 pillowcases
  • 2 Halloween costumes
  • 6 aprons
  • 1 crayon wallet
  • 1 pair of pants
  • 1 set of curtains
  • 1 stocking
  • 1 mug rug
  • 1 fabric basket
  • 1 diaper bag
  • 1 diaper clutch
  • 63 Jane Stickle blocks (and now all 225 complete!)
  • A whole bunch of miscellaneous blocks for BOMs, quilt alongs, and bees

  • and...
    Big Bear and Little Bear!
  • 1 baby boy!!! (There he is at 6 months old with his big brother!)


In terms of goals, I set four for myself in 2010. How'd I do?
  1. Use more fabric than I buy.-- Hmmm... close! But not quite. Final tally:
    Fabric Stats 2010:
    Fabric In: 136.955 yds
    Fabric Used: 116.292 yds

  2. Make and donate some quilts for charity.-- I was able to make and donate 2 quilts this year.

  3. Finish some UFOS.-- Technically, I would call this one a no. Though at least I finished something!

  4. Take better care of me.-- In terms of getting more sleep and exercising, this one is definitely a fail. But, I also have a new baby. So I'm not feeling too bad about this one.

And now for some goals for 2011:

  1. Use more fabric than I buy.-- I was so close in 2010. This year, I can do it! For reals!

  2. Finish at least one UFO-- My guild is having a UFO challenge this year that will hopefully help me in making this happen.

  3. Put together my Jane Stickle top.

  4. Have fun with being creative and making stuff!-- Just because I need to remind myself to do that sometimes.

Here's to a happy and productive 2011!

  5. Wow Robin! You HAVE been productive! The baby boy is the biggest achievement (and the most work), I'm sure.
