Welcome 2013

I bet it will be hard for me to write 2013, I never got used to writing 2012!

I, like just about everyone else, am ready for a new year - a fresh start and some resolutions. (Even though I think I have the same resolutions every year!)

• Get an etsy shop started with my daughter. She makes hats and I make scarves. 
• Keep crocheting. It is my prozac, its good for my soul.
• Figure out the constant ache in my hands. (could be all the crocheting, but I don't think so. I have been crocheting for 40 years, the pain is just the last few.) One person told me I should be tested for Lyme disease.  
• Learn to knit. Nothing fancy, just a straight line for a scarf or dishrag. I bought some needles and I planning on cozying up with youtube some day. 
• NO MORE SURGERIES!  Oh please God, I have had enough!  5 major surgeries in the last few years. 
• Write letters. Not emails, real snail mail letters and cards. 
• Declutter my house. I am not sure how to go about this. I am sentimental and like stuff; pretty dishes, anything polka dot, fuzzy warm blankets, old tablecloths, cows, gnomes, cookbooks. Now wonder I am in so much trouble!  
• Sew from my stash. 
• Make quilts for my family. My grandma made a quilt for Scott and I when we got married. Since my mom is gone, my kids, nieces, and nephews won't have that. A couple of them are already married, I will start with them! 
• Drink less diet pop, eat more vegetables, lose weight!
• Plan meals. 
• Take more pictures!

Gee, my list looks the same every year!
