20/2010 Wrap Up

I like making lists, but it turns out that I’m not so great at crossing things off. I’m batting .60 this year.

1. buy original art for my apartment
2. get a new bed
3. learn how to paint {tried, but I suck!!}
4. reorganize my closet
5. read 1 book a month {Doing pretty well on this one!}
6. find someone to create a new undeniable style banner
7. plan a trip abroad {WIP}
8. do yoga {swapping this out for pilates!}
9. learn to be more flexible
10. finish Alexis and Ed’s wedding quilt {before their 1 year anniversary}
11. amp up my machine quilting skills
12. practice writing…typography.
13. design at least 1 cute fabric
14. pay off that last little bit of credit card debt {I moved in order to help facilitate this…well this and #7, and my plans to save for the future…}
15. host dinner for people i love at least once a month
16. start keeping a journal again
17. participate in a stash swap
18. use my gym membership more than once a month!
19. drink more good wine
20. work on being MORE positive and grateful

In my defense, I chose A LOT of recurring/ongoing goals. Tough!

I will say that I feel like I have grown a lot this year in being more flexible and more positive/grateful. Those were definitely the most challenging things on this list, and will likely be on my list for 2011, if nothing more than to keep me motivated.

A lot of the things I fell short on related to money and time. Like: plan a trip abroad, pay off credit card debt, design cute fabric and amp up my machine quiliting skills. Sad pancakes, but hurrah to 2011.

Other things I accomplished this year: lots of hair lust, moving the entire contents of my studio apartment in the middle of a thunderstorm, 30×30 & no shopping for 30 days!, and not having an aneurism based on stress from my day job. Well done, indeed.

Bring on the new year! xox
