So, are you ready for the new year? Have you thought about resolutions, and such? I don't really do resolutions. Nothing like setting yourself up for failure, lol. But, I do try to set small, attainable goals, or make progress on goals already started.
For this blog, my crafting blog, I have the following short term goals:
1- Continue to improve my drawing and painting. Maybe expand to other mediums, such as watercolors.
2- Make more wood burned items. I have only had time to do a few of wood burned items, and I do so enjoy learning how to do it.
3- Continue making jewelry, and maybe add some new gemstones to my personal collection. I have expanded a lot in my wire wrapping, beading is still not a favorite, but maybe as I learn more that will change. I have sold almost all my inventory of my traditional setting jewelry pieces. So, I would like to replenish my inventory a little bit. I still have a ton of gemstones that need setting.
4- Probably not in 2016, but eventually, I would love to be able to melt my own metals, and make my own jewelry settings. That has been a long term goal for a while now, lol.
5- I want to learn some new crochet topics. Though, no matter how many sweaters I begin, or big afghans, those big projects are not the ones I enjoy doing. I mostly love items that have to do with holiday decor.
6- Expand my promoting skills for my Etsy store, and my brand new Society 6 store. Be sure to check them both out, by clicking on the widgets in the left hand column of this blog.
7- Last but not least, continue to learn and improve my photography skills.
So, what are your goals for 2016?
