Although I've already expressed that I don't do/believe in resolutions, I wanted to make a list of "goals" I have for 2013, persay. Or rather, things that I want to learn how to do this year.
1. Learn how to embroider. I think these things are so neat and I want to be able to do this! I have tons of embroidery thread I've always used for making bracelets, but everytime I go to the craft store, I can't bring myself to buy embroidery hoops/fabric/needles.
2. Learn how to decorate cookies with royal icing. Because they look incredible and food is always more delicious when it's pretty.
3. Learn to crochet. Or knit. Or sew. I know, I'm hopeless.
4. Learn how to properly fold bedsheets. Those cling sheets are freaking impossible, I swear, you have to be magic in order to fold them.
5. Learn how to budget. In other words, we're 'bout to be broke if we don't figure this one out.
6. Learn how to decorate a cake with fondant. Because like I said, all food tastes better when it's pretty.
7. Learn how to manage my time better. No more sleeping all day, sitting on the couch watching TV/working on blog, or just being lazy and not getting things done. Also, lying in bed playing on your phone for two hours every night does not help you get to sleep any faster.
8. Learn how to meal plan.
9. Learn how to coupon. Goes with the last one a bit.
There's my list of nine "goals" or things I want to learn how to do this year! They mostly have to do with crafting/cooking or saving money. Because even though learning how to save money is important, we still need to have fun with our crafts/baked goods! :)

ReplyDeleteYour blog is so cute! I agree, resolutions have this whole fizzling out issue, and why do we have to wait until Jan 1 to change things about ourselves? lol.. But it is important to have goals! You have some really good ones on your list. I learned how to do some simple crochet stuff through youtube! lol Oh, and I read up there you are expecting a little one soon.. I just had my baby on Dec. 14. :) Sleep when the baby sleeps! Sleep deprivation can do crazy things! Haha.. but anywho.. found you on the Friendly Friday hop, & I am following. :)

hi chloe! you are so right, food does taste better when it's pretty. im a new follower from the aloha friday blog hop, come by and visit when you have a minute but of course if you are 2 days away from having a baby you might be quite busy very soon! :) congrats to you both! www.kendrakaypahukoa.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI love all of your goals! I made a list of goals for the year but wasthinking about redoing them and dividing them into quarterly goals so that I may put more focus into actually getting them done and I have more than one chance to do them if I don't get them done in the first quarter. I took the idea from the YouTube channel called "Home Organizing". (:
ReplyDeleteI learned how to do royal icing form University of Cookie. Sadly, they don't update the blog anymore, but they have videos that teaches you how the royal icing should look and how to frost your cookies. www.universityofcookie.com
ReplyDeleteAwesome goals, Chloe! I've wanted to learn to sew for years, but I've never taken the time-good luck to you, though! And I hope you stick with menu planning...it's such a time and sanity saver! Thanks for sharing at Pinworthy Projects.
ReplyDeleteThose are all super great goals! I would love to learn how to embroider, and I would also love to learn how to crochet and knit better.. as well as sew!
ReplyDeleteHi Chloe,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with those goals. I'm sure you will have lots of fun in your learning process.
Thank you for linking up to the Thumping Thursdays Blog Hop.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on budgeting better now that I'm married. With that goes meal planning as well. I've got lots of ideas from Pinterest, just need to test them out :) And make one of the cute meal planning calendar things. I also want to do a lot with crafting/sewing/etc this year as well.
Such positive goals.... well done!
