An Early Start

I am so ready for the New Year!  Over the past couple of days I’ve been getting organized so I can get on with my resolutions for 2009.  I’m excited about having my studio all set up to make all sorts of fantastic fiber arts.  By the way, the doll is Elizabeth; I’ve had her since I was little.  She has trouble weaving because her fingers do not separate.

Today I cleaned up my horrific desk, so I’m not overwhelmed with clutter every time I sit down to work.  Now for the actual resolutions…

 

1. Daily Bible readings with Josh.  Have bought daily Bible to make it simple.  Plan to have hot tea and Bible study in the evenings.

2. FlyLady baby steps.

3. Start fiber art business; begin building inventory for Etsy shop.

4. Blog daily.

So that’s it!  I’m very optimistic for the New Year.  I know there will be ups and downs, but I’m hoping to focus on the ups and learn from the downs.

Art Classes

I’ve started teaching art classes to homeschooled kids from my home!  It’s so much fun.  I have three kids in my class for now, and I’m hoping more will join us as we go along.  We do all sorts of projects from drawing and painting to pastels to polymer clay.  Kids just have so much artistic talent to tap into!
