2013 Goals

Well, it is officially 2013, and it seems only fitting that I should post my goals for the coming year.

Recently I have come to realize what is really important to me, and so my 2013 goals will build on that.

For Wipocalypse purposes, I want to work on:
1. TW's Noah's Ark (wip)
2. TW's 12 Days (new start)
3. TW' Paisley Corner(wip)
4. MLI's Firefly Fairies (new start)
5. Tony Minieri's Star For A New Millennium (wip)
6. Long Dog's Plight Of Fancy (wip)
7. MLI's Celtic Banner (wip)
8. Papillon Creations' Around The World (wip)
9. Papillon Creations' The Castle Garden (wip)
10. TW's Miniature Spring Sampler (new start)

These are things that I commit to work on to some degree... Not sure how far I will get on any of then, but it is all in fun. And such discipline! Only three are new starts!

For cooking, I have really wanted to refine my cooking technique, and get seriously better. I have always thought that I would go to cooking school. I am not sure what I would ever do with it if I went, not to mention that I don't have the time or money. I love to entertain, whether for company, or even just to set a lovely table/have a restaurant experience at home...and cooking/baking is meditative for me. That being said I have always been an exceptional self study, never settling for less than perfection. More or less I want to implement repetition of the best technique so that I can be better than I am. I got some great technique books ( Ruhlman's 20, Jacques Pepin's New Complete Techniques) for Christmas, which will be what I use primarily this next year. I plan to document as I go along on this blog.

Speaking of this blog, I've never really taken it too seriously, but wipocalypse has taught me that I can do this regularly. I fulfilled that goal for a whole year!!!  I hope to build this within the coming year.

My hubby and I also sell on eBay and we really want to build that up this year, and we will see what happens with that.

I have a few needlework patterns floating around in my head and I want to formalize them in pattern form as well.

Astrologically it is a great year for creating, and I want to create for myself this year... Holding my own destiny and forward progress in my hands. It's time.
