====================================================
My goals for 2019 - how did I do?
Improve my health - I was doing great until November and then it was a mess. I need to work more on this one.
More organized - I am more organized than I was in 2018, but I still have aways to go.
Learn more digitizing - I am better at some of the things, but I still need to learn the tablet
Work on long arm more - I quilted lots of things for the guild and QOV and myself. I want to continue with charity projects.
Learn Embroidery Machine - it still scares me, but I've learn a lot about it in 2019.
Decrease Fabric Stash - I have a net of over 400 yards, so I'd say I decreased it. I am really low on red, so if I need to buy anything this year, it will be red and true white.
Decrease Thread Stash - I used 27 spools of thread this year. Because so many of my spools are larger spools, I feel really good about this. I could still use to work on using up what I have too much of
Start Crocheting again - I've had lots of fun with this. I'm making hexagons in fabric and crocheting. No, not in the same pattern, but the same shape. :)
=============================================================
