My Stitching Resolutions 2021 In A Blog Hop

I'm the worst at making or keeping resolutions, especially if it involves eating less and exercising more. I definitely fail at those! Carla at Creatin' in the Sticks came up with a blog hop that I think works for me..."My Stitching Resolutions 2021." Thanks, Carla, great idea!

Carla's challenge was -- "This hop doesn't require stitching, it's all about your stitching plan for the new year. Let's share new ideas and inspiration. All you have to do is finish this statement in a blog post:

My stitching resolution for 2021 is _____________________________."

The first would have to be that I will try to keep my resolutions, but I will not beat myself up if I don't.

These are the amazing shelfs in my sewing room. They are begging for some organizations. I will clean and organize these shelfs for sure in 2021!

I will dig out that container of UFO's and decide which ones are worth finishing and which ones aren't. Say "bye-bye" to the not worth finishing things. I had to climb over a few things to get this picture of the container. It's buried way in the back of put-this-away-stuff.

I will get rid of fabric that no longer makes me happy. I tend to hold on to some fabric just because I might need it. After 10 years, I probably don't need it.

I will finish putting away all my sewing items that have been in storage. After moving, some of those boxes are still sitting there. It's not really fun to dig for things when I need it NOW. This is one of three containers that had things thrown into during the final moving days.

I will take time to play with my embroidery machine. I love watching it stitch, but when I'm pressed for deadlines I can't give up my sewing machine to play with it. The embroidery machine has only been out of this container twice since I bought it. I MUST use it!

I will start and finish the Cackling Stitches BOM in March. I'm so excited about this one! I enjoy every minute of the Cackling Stitches group. This isn't hard because it's fun to "hang out" on Facebook with other people who love Halloween as much as I do. Joan at Moosestash Quilting and I are hard at work getting some fun BOM's ready.

I want to/will sew a "Storm at Sea" quilt for me. I've wanted to for such a long time, so maybe, just maybe, this is the year. I even bought the Accuquilt die made for this. The first time I saw a "Storm at Sea" quilt I loved it!

I will keep those blog hops going. I love all the quilty people I've met because of them.

I will teach at least one of the Monkey Boys how to sew. They love to sit on my lap while I sew, but it's time they learned a few things.

Finally, I will do my best to take the time to do all of the above.

Here's the list of more resolution makers...check them out!

Good luck with your own resolutions in 2021!
