I've decided to forgo selecting a single word for the year or making New Year's resolutions. Instead I've made a list of goals to complete before years end.
Goals for the new year
- Organize all my beads. Clean up and create a studio area that can fit in with the family.. (I'm planning a takeover. Dining room to Craft Studio!)
- Add more products to Madeit - one new item a week! (This means committing to a regular crafting schedule.)
- Blog more often and create a tutorial! (Again its all about time!)
- Take at least one jewelry class or learn a new technique. (Fun stuff!)
- Focus more on my health. (Means regular doctor's visits and blood tests eeck!)
- Commit to a money saving program. (The budget is under control, touch wood, just need to save)
- Keep a regular house cleaning schedule. (Ok, I need to manage my time better, obviously) AND FINALLY
- Stop procrastinating, just act!
Focusing on Life~ 52 photos, 1 photo a week
On the blog front I've decided to join Sally Russick of Studio Sublime in a photo challenge. You might remember last year when I started a personal 52 week photo challenge. It didn't work out, mainly because I needed some prompts and that's what Sally has offered. Weekly prompts with photos posted to Instagram, Flickr or on your blog.This week the prompt was - self portrait. I should have guessed this would have been the first one.

Self portrait
I took this photo just after a haircut just after Christmas. In the last year I discovered that my thick, barely wavy hair had developed loose curls, so I've been adapting a new haircut to suit. For a bit of fun, Melanie my hairdresser, chalked my hair. Just two small sections, chalked while wet and "set" with a curling iron and hairspray.
I took this photo with my iPhone, edited the photo in the Perfect Photo app and finished it in the Pixlromatic app (pro version). You can find this photo and others by searching for the hash tag #focus1photoaweek on Instagram.
