I have finally decided on my New Year's Resolution: become craftier in 2009. My immediate goal is to complete one craft per month. However, my secondary goal is to work on crafts that are new to me, too.
Here are just a few of the projects I want to complete in 2009:
- The scarf for my husband
- A pair of felted slippers that my mom has been wanting for the last four years.
(I made a pair and LOVE them!! Apparently so did she.)
- These super adorable little baby cupcakes -- completed 2/6/09
- Bake cookies and frost them using piping and flooding techniques -- completed 1/25/09
- Beaded Silverware, specifically an olive fork or cheese spreader -- didn't do it, but my aunt did gift me with a tiny set for hosting Christmas!!
As with the Couple Resolutions, I will provide status updates throughout the year.
