Goals for 2007

I do not ever set resolutions with the new year. I will not follow them and I know it. But after seeing everyone else's very detailed goal lists for the new year I got to thinking. That might just be more of my speed. Ta-da!
My goals for crafting, life and the in-betweens for the new year:

1. To try /expand 3 new crafts. They may be in the same sort of materials/area of a current crafts that I do. In 2006, I learned to knit very simply. So that was pretty cool. I had wanted to learn for years and years. What comes to mind so far for the new year is-beading (want to make a counter thing for cross stitch), iris folding, and more "complex" knitting.
2. To make new dishes. I mean try a new recipe, not the typical way that I do where I tweek it so much (don't like this or that, or to suit what I have on hand) it winds up being like the stuff we always eat. So this means find a recipe and buy the ingredients to make it and give it a shot. There's always a back up plan like PB&J.
3. To buy and plan for Bdays earlier. I think of them weeks in advance and then remember again about a day before when it's too late to get a card out or whatever I had been thinking of.
4. Finish what I have started I have a stack of UFOs... All of the been meaning to get to stuff. So I want, no need, to clear some of that up before starting anything else new. (Exception to the rule is the pansy, it's for a long promised thing, so in actuality I am getting things done as stated)
5. Procrastinate less!
6. Charity/good works.I think it would a great way to stitch what I would like to make but can't think of any reason or place to keep it for myself. Plus I have been dieing to try an Angel Quilt pattern of some type. I need to donate blood again- haven't in years- always get a cold or something so I can't. And I'd also like to try my hand at making knitty stuff for charity. (Hello, ties in to the 3 new crafts doesn't it? To be able to make mittens, or hats or something and donate a stack of them. Hello- learn to increase and decrease!)

So, I think that's a good start.
