I'm having trouble coming up with goals for this year. I did well with my goals last year, and I think setting goals is probably a good idea, but I'm just not sure how I want to focus my creativity this year.
I know that I want to continue to work on finishing my UFOs. There are 5 left from my original list, plus one top that I completed last year that still needs to be quilted. Finishing all of them would be nice, but I don't want to lock myself into that as an official goal. One has been giving me fits as to how to quilt it, and I want to feel a little more free to do new things than I felt last year. So I think I'll set this goal at 4.
I also have a long list of pre-cuts that I own but have not yet used. (The oldest were purchased in 2013.) I'd like to make something with at least 3 of these. More would be nice, but I think 3 is a reasonable goal.
Beyond those, I'm just not really sure.
I enjoyed doing the window painting at Christmas, so I thought that doing more painting might be nice. "More painting" isn't really a measurable goal though. Maybe I'll set a goal for doing 2 window paintings this year, plus one painting on paper or canvas. (Yikes!)
I also want to create some inventory to possibly have a booth at a craft show. Again, "create some inventory" isn't measurable. The problem is that I have no idea what is reasonable in this category. I'll say 5 sets (4 each) of coasters, 2 small bags, and 2 tote bags as a start.
In summary, that makes:
- Finish 4 UFOs
- Use 3 pre-cuts
- Do 2 window paintings
- Do 1 non-window painting
- Sew 5 sets of coasters
- Sew 2 small bags
- Sew 2 tote bags
