According to jet pack stats, most of this site’s visitors in 2013 came from Italy. Very interesting. Thanks Italy!

This is what the sweater you’ve been working on for 2 years looks like when you run out of yarn 30 rows from bind off and you can’t get more locally.
29 DecObligatory Resolution List
It’s that time of year again! I didn’t do so well last year….I did surpass my reading goal and knit a lot from stash, but otherwise 2013 was a goal bust.
Oh well, there’s always 2014! So here we go….
For the Mind
1) read 102 books (increased from goal of 52 for previous years – read 67 in 2012 and 98 in 2013)
2) of those books, finish the BBC top 200
3) use the Rosetta Stone Spanish program purchased in 2013 but never opened and learn Spanish
4) go to church more than once every three months and not just because I am scheduled in the nursery
For the Body
5) lose this last 20ish pounds
6) commit to 5 hours a week at the gym even if I can’t make it to a class and have to come up with a workout on my own
7) get the “grae” tattoo and maybe even the “twin” tattoo
For Fun
8) go skydiving
9) take the kids camping using tents and everything
10) knit from stash
11) take line dancing lessons
For the Home
12) use reusable grocery bags
13) purchase and install and organize overhead garage storage
14) FlyLady daily
15) finish photo albums
16) decorate living room with paint and art and maybe new furniture if possible
17) get curtains for basement
18) re-take and put into practice Financial Peace University
19) do filing on a weekly basis
Because 24 Seems Like a Good Number
20) start hardwood floor fund
21) use the drop spindles and roving I’ve collected and actually learn to make some yarn
22) golf once a week during good weather
23) quit smoking (again – for real)
24) limit eating lunch out to once per week
That should do it. I checked, and my resolutions seem to be in line with the most popular resolutions out there. See, US Government Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions list.

Luke asked for a blue stocking and a blue stocking he gets. I think he likes it as he’s been carrying it around since I finished it! Now if Christmas morning will just get here….

She made it. I’m not sure if this is exciting or if it sucks.
