pinterest additct – pinterest resolutions 2013

January 1, 2013 3 Comments

Happy New Year!! Last January I decided to give myself Pinterest resolutions. Maybe it was my way of justifying my pinning habit 😉 but since I don’t do real resolutions, I figured it would be fun. While I didn’t tackle every resolution, I did make good progress so I’m planning the same for this year. It might just get me to have regular appearances around these parts again.

For 2013, I’m recycling a few from last year and adding some more.

  • Get more daring with my sewing skills on some pillows. Still looking for the actual source.
  • Build a piece of furniture.
  • Make cement coasters or flower pots. 
  • Dog art for my mutts.
  • Make a piece of furniture with hairpin legs. 
  • Make a pouf for kids or the mutts.
  • Plant an herb garden.
  • Finish a crochet blanket.
  • Paint another piece of furniture.
  • Make a crochet amigurumi.
  • Paint a rug.
  • Sew something other than a pillowcase or blanket.

And in case you missed it my 2012 resolutions and their status are:

  • Canvas prints using gel medium and transparencies. – Completed using another method.
  • Make a piece of furniture with hairpin legs. – Bought the legs!
  • Learn to crotchet. – I learned and have finished a few projects!
  • Start a quilt. I won’t say I will finish it but I will start one in 2012. – Nope.
  • Make freezer paper stencils. – Done a million times.
  • Paint a rug. – Nope.
  • Plant an herb garden. – Sadly, no.
  • Paint another piece of furniture. – Purchased two pieces to paint. Just haven’t done them yet.
  • Learn to use vinyl on my Silhouette. – Done.
  • Upholster a piece of furniture. – Nope. And I might cross this off my list.
  • Repurpose an item for decor. – Not yet.
  • Finish a gallery wall. – Finally have one in my craft room.

Do you do New Year resolutions? Please share!
