The New Year is here and with it new beginnings.
Including Jane’s 2015 TIAS which starts tomorrow January 7.
Are you ready?
I looked through my shuttle collection and found two that were empty – not that easy as most still have thread still on them from previous projects. Then I checked through my button stash for a 3/8th inch button – again, not as easy as I thought it would be. After I found the button I could think about what color thread to use. As it was handy and I like the color I wound the shuttles with Lizbeth #657 in size 20.
I’m as ready as I’ll ever be for this year’s TIAS.
Are you?
I’ve also started the new year by adding a couple of patterns to my Patterns tab. I finally finished diagramming the Fall Bookmark (aka Bookmark in Fall Colors) I posted about here and here. I was also asked about the pattern for the wreath I posted about here. Both are now available.
I don’t make resolutions for New Years as I rarely keep them. This year I’m making goals instead. The top three (at the moment) in no particular order are:
Update the header and layout of my blog.
Diagram and write out the patterns for the snowflakes I made in the last few months.
Practice taking better pictures for my blog.
These are practical goals that are totally reachable. I feel I am ready for them.
Are you ready?
“May it be the best year yet for you
And everything prosper you may do.”
I'm ready for the TIAS, but I'm afraid that my goals are much simpler than yours! I look forward to the changes you'll be making.
Thank you so much for sharing the 'Fall Bookmark' pattern! It's so beautiful! I did notice, however, that the first chain is missing from the written pattern. Not a big deal, but I figured I'd let you know. 😉 Mine aren't very autumnal, but they're on http://twoandaturtle.blogspot.com if you'd like to see your pattern done by someone else…
Good luck with TIAS!
