My Intentions for 2021

2020 saw me furloughed for 6 months and then made redundant. (Luckily I quickly found another job). During that time I was able to reassess what I wanted with my life. I started to appreciate more everything I had and realised that I have more than I need in terms of possessions. I also had more time to craft and I taught myself how to knit and sew dresses. I liked the slower pace of life that the lockdowns kind of forced us to have and it gave us more time to spend together as a family, which we had started to lose now the kids are older and wanting to do their own things.

So for 2021 instead of making resolutions I have made a list of things that I intend to do. These are

·       - Get rid of 1000 items that can either be donated or disposed of.

·      -  Buy a lot less and use up what I have before buying more (toiletries, clothes and craft supplies are the main areas this applies to)

·     -  Finish a quilting project I have been working on for way too long

·    -   Do a weekly project life scrapbook page showing the highlights of the week

·     -  Save more money each month

·      - Decorate and update the kids bedrooms

·      - Continue to knit and sew to improve my skill level

·       -Continue spending time together as a family either at home or when we can outside.

·       -Don’t get involved in ‘drama’. This should be a lot easier as most of the drama was linked to my old job, just need to avoid family drama.

·       -Create a blog chronicling my crafting journeys and my simpler life.

        - Improve my photography skills

I know that may seem a lot but some are linked and some will only take a few moments each day. My efforts can be viewed on this blog.
