Resolutions 2012

Every year I post resolutions - and this year is no exception. Except, this year, my resolutions will be easier to keep!

Here they are:
1. Spend more time with friends. Since having Sweet baby, I've been a bit of a hermit. It's been hard to get together with others when you're so dang tired. Well, things are getting better and I'm feeling more lighthearted these days. And, I realize that being with friends actually makes me more energetic. Spoken like a true extrovert, I guess.

2. Make more things! I really enjoy making things, but as I've outlined above, time has been tight and me energy has been down. But, once again, when I make things I actually feel more energetic.

3. And this one is about buying clothes. Only good quality. And only solid colors (exception to the solid color rule if it's a Marimekko). In my wardrobe, I have a mis-mash of stripes, florals, and various other patterns. It's ridiculous. But, morning after morning I reach for the solids, leaving the patterns behind. Frankly, I'm too tired to put together some creative, cute outfit with coordinating stripes and houndstooth in the morning. Not gonna happen. For the last 3 months I've adhered to this rule, and it's working! I have had no regrets over what I have purchased. And what I've found out is the general rule that the best quality clothing is usually not patterned (I know there are exceptions to this).

So, there they are. Good for the soul and fairly straightforward.

Happy 2012!
