I hate rushing to make new year goals, so I never make it a priority to do it before or directly on New Years day. I like to ease a bit into the year, unwind and then really think about what I want for the year.
So here are some of my goals. I think it's a pretty do-able list..
1. Bake more.
How yum does this Chocolate Lavender Pie look? I honestly don't put aside much time to nest. I want to get better at baking home cooked recipes.
2. Sew more for the home.
I have a patchwork quilt half made from last year (sigh). I need to finish it this year and want to make a special baby quilt too, among other things included in this cute 'Baby on the Way' E-course. Just need to do it..
3. Blog often.
Well I am off to a good start! I just know that I get excited and ambitious about new projects, and then when time passes the busy life takes over. I plan to blog weekly here at the very least though more than that would be dandy. I also want to post more resources on Finders Keepers (something I strangely enjoy doing), which has been on the list for the last year or so, and keep Follow updated with lots goodies. Productivity.. Heck yes.
4. Get a good camera.
We had a digital camera a few years ago, and then it broke, iPhone camera photo taking became the norm and well we never replaced it. I really enjoyed Photography in high school, and spend alot of time developing film in the darkroom and taking my Mum's original old school SLR for a spin. What happened?
So evidently, now I do want a digital SLR. It's an investment which I never quite have the money for, so this year with baby on the way it's even more important to capture our memories.

If you're interested in sweet baking, Frankie have this really amazing confectionery book (I'm sure you've seen it). It is so nostalgic and delicious looking. I made the candy hearts last week and they were fairly easy and amazing tasting!
ReplyDeleteOh yes they are very sweet..I have the afternoon tea book, but not the sweet treats one - I think that is the one with the candy hearts. I should indulge in some baking from it, problem is I just want to eat it all now haha
