My big goal for this month is to finish projects. For the last 3 days I have been really focusing on sewing. I have finished a crib skirt; made a nightgown for my daughter; made pajamas for my older son; made two placemats of a cute snowflake pattern on dark blue fabric, and have started cutting out squares to make fabric blocks. I have lots more sewing projects to do such as making a few skirts for my daughter; making a crib bumper and quilt to match the crib skirt; making quilts out of old jeans; and finishing projects that were started and not finished. I don't know if I'll get them ALL done this month but I'm going to do as many as possible.
I'm also working on the Alaska scrapbook. That is my one scrapbook goal for January.
I have an organizing project to do too..which is to get all the papers filed and the filing cabinet cleaned out. This will help with getting things ready for doing taxes.

my word for 2010: PEACE
At the end of 2008, I heard from my friend Nancy about choosing a word that would represent what her focus for 2009 would be. I thought that sounded like a really cool idea and so I chose the word ENJOY for 2009. I think for the most part I did pretty good at remembering to enjoy the moments as they happened, especially with my baby Alex.
So here we are at the beginning of another year and I have decided my word for 2010 will be PEACE. Peace in my home through establishing and maintaining routines that will help get the work done that needs to be done so we can enjoy a calm, peaceful environment. Peace in my family by working on reining in my temper and watching how I talk and the words I choose. Peace in my work by planning ahead and staying current so that I'm not stressing out trying to do payroll at the last minute. Peace in my church callings by preparing ahead of time and thinking things through.
Of course, I would love to have Peace on Earth by having people love one another (think of all the problems that would be solved if we'd love others and think of their welfare). I don't know if that's possible but I do know it can happen in my home so that will be my focus for 2010.
Happy New Year and may you have a Peaceful 2010!
