Mama Fern's New Years Resolutions

Yeah, I know, it's a sad little concept, but I actually made New Year's resolutions.  Although, this year, I've deliberately thought them through and come up with things that, if I wasn't already doing them, I've put things in place to kick them off anyway.  So, it's more of a list of things I've been saying I will do this year, but actually written on the blog, for the world to see!

• Sew 10 items of clothing
• Learn a craft and sell at least one item made using it
• Paint 5 paintings
• Make sure that every one of our kids gets an hour of my time completely focused on just them at least once a month (this doesn't count the joint activities that we spend hours on every week, or school holidays, when it's easier to spread your time)
• Read (and blog a list of) at least 50 books
• Grow 5 plants from cuttings that I've never grown before
• Make my own picalilli - I keep saying I will
• Learn 3 new skills that help me live more sustainably
• Get all the family photos on to the walls or at least into photo albums
• End 2011 with leass than 4 months of debt repayment remaining (and then get NO FURTHER DEBT, unless it's a mortgage)
• Send Christmas cards and bake a Christmas cake

Yup, boring, but I think it's pretty achievable...  Now, on with the New Year!

Happy New Year, all
