resolute

This year is going to be the year of finishing off projects. I have a really bad problem of having crafting eyes bigger than my crafting time. It leads me to bringing all sorts of "projects" home where they languish in the garage or in a cupboard or somewhere out of sight. Waiting, waiting - WAITING for me to get around to putting my "vision" for them into action.

This stool is a good example (with bad photos - sorry) I found this sturdy wooden stool on the roadside in the inorganic rubbish collection, a good three years ago. I loved it's curved seat and other than it's paint job was in excellent condition. I thought I could cover it, rather than with paint, with maps. I had seen an amazing desk covered in maps and loved the idea. Luckily for me my sister rescued some maps from being thrown away at a university, big ones, all New Zealand towns. So I had the maps, the stool, the mod podge - what was I waiting for?? Well I don't know, probably time, seen as I had everything I needed to finish it.

So I've got quite a few projects I'd love to complete this year and if I don't I'm prepared to let them go to the roadside in the the inorganic for someone else to have a "vision" with them.

As for other resolutions I don't have many, lose weight (including the weight I was going to lose at this time last year! - hmm seems like a double resolution there!), do more crafts with the kids, come up with some new dinner recipes.
