Ambitious

I don't like to set New Year's goals, because I generally like to avoid
the feeling of failure. I do find myself thinking about things I'd like to do
or do differently in the new year.
A few of those things are:
Use my cookbooks more and eat out less (this is a hard one for me, it's so great to have someone else cook)
Clean out the garage and basement for the love of god
Get my shit together in time to design and print a calendar
Make a quilt

On another note, I LOVE online shopping, don't you? Is there anything greater than buying something online and having it delivered? I've spent so much less time and gas driving around trying to find things that I can literally find in 2 clicks on the wonderful internet. Where would we be without it? I often find myself wondering how the hell we got on without it. I did so much online shopping this year for gifts that it got to the point where I was expecting something to be delivered every day. And that's great.

On that note, there are a couple of penguins in the shop right now. This might be it for the penguins until next year but we'll see. They are the perfect movie watching hand sewing project.
