KnitPurlGurl had been one of my inspirations to blog more in the new year - one thing she does that is great is she runs all kinds of cool contests with the great stuff she is reviewing. This week's contest is here:

It is for a kit to make a knitted bracelet out of wire. She has all the details there! Good Luck!

Resolutions, sort of...
Well there are several things I plan to do this year - I am not going to call them resolutions because I feel resolutions are made to be broken - but here are the current plans for 2010:
Personal:
Get Healthier - I'd like to say lose (enter number) pounds and exercise and all of these lofty ideas but I know the main goal is to feel better on a daily basis - there are some plans in place such as exercising and eating better and continuing to work with my doctor on some underlying health issues.
Household:
De-clutter and Define - It is my goal to finish unpacking and organizing the house - the main rooms that need work are the garage and my sewing/guest room - part of this plan is to continue getting rid of unnecessary household stuff, collectables, and clothes I do not wear - some progress has been made in 2009 so I would like to continue that progress.
Crafty:
Organize and Reduce - This is also overlapping with Household - Cut down on what I buy in the craft realm and work with the supplies and stash I already have. I also want to record what I have in sewing patterns, fabric, yarn, and other craft supplies and get rid of those supplies I am not using nor have no plans of using.
Online:
Belonging and Blogging - I want to get involved in the online craft communities again. I would also like to do some book or craft reviews for either existing craft review sites or on my blog for companies looking for product reviews.
I feel these are all obtainable and realistic goals because there are not numbers and dates attached to these goals so failure or quitting cannot happen - only moving forward, towards the goals can happen.
