hello 2010!
I hope you all had a wonderful time ringing in the new year. Hopefully you didn't celebrate too hard! Adam and I spent the night watching Dexter Season 1 and enjoying a feast of our favorite foods. We barely made it until midnight, but it was still one of the best spent NYEs I have ever had.
During the NYE feast, we had a nice conversation about what we hope to accomplish in the new year. Big changes are coming for us in 2010. Our main goal: a house! Where that house is located is yet to be determined, but trust me, we will find the one.
And those ever-so-popular goals of achieving complete organization and losing the newlywed 10? We've come a tiny bit closer to success by purchasing some cute bins and totes to organize the craft clutter and playing (err, working out) on our new Wii Fit.
A personal goal for me this year is to start sewing clothes, and I have already made a little progress towards this one this weekend. I bought about 20 patterns this weekend at JoAnn's for 99 cents each! That is insanely cheap my friends. I can't wait to start sewing. I'm on the hunt for a dressform if anyone has one they'd like to donate to me. It will be put to good use, I swear!
What about you? Did you make any resolutions this year?
Welcome to Bijou Lovely. This blog is named after my great grandmother, Bijou Lillian, who encouraged me to embrace all the lovely things that the world has to offer. I hope to provide you with inspiration for sewing, quilting, photography, design, and daily life here at Bijou Lovely! It's truly lovely to have you here.
Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteYou can always resort to the duct-tape dress form. You literally wrap yourself in duct-tape and get a perfectly sized dress form (of course, because you are making a cast of you!). There are zillions of tutorials online.
ReplyDeleteAnything to get you to start that goal of sewing quicker! I would love to see your progress!
Happy new year!!! I hope this is a great year for you. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait to see what you make!
