Happy New Year everyone

It has been a bit of an odd start to the new year so far for me.

For one thing, now that the 2010 projects are over, I find that I am scouting around to do something every day and then realising that I don't have to, but missing the hive of activity that the projects created around me.

So the dog has been out for a couple of very long walks.  And I have mastered reading books on my Kindle.

But there is more to life than this, so crochet is once again taking up my evenings, as well as a new tapestry that I have just started.

Added to two new jobs and a stinking head cold.


I have decided on the format for my 2011 project blog (even if I could not master wordpress to load it onto!).

The Three Cs project will work like this.

Every month I will post a complete how to with photos for the first C - Cook something new
Every month I will post a complete how to with photos for the second C - Create something new

Finally, through flickr and to ensure that I actually get around to using all that storage space on there, I have joined a 52 images to a theme group and will be attempting to keep up with this throughout the year.  I intend to post my best Captures here - and so build up a wider portfolio than I currently have.

I had considered a 365 images group - but as I have a tendancy to forget where I plugged the camera battery in for a couple of days at a time, it would not be long before I fell behind on that one.

I intend to try to keep up the momentum started last year through the daily projects and set myself daily goals to motivate me, you just won't have to read about them everyday now though.

And so with no more shilly shallying around this morning, I am off into the sunshine to clean out the animals and start my spring compost heap.

Last day of a fun packed busy year

How fast time goes by.

It does not feel as though 12 months have passed since I started this little project.  I have been so pleased to have achieved so much, from new recipes, to new clothes, to new friends.

I have really enjoyed the whole process, even when the only thing I got done in a day was to deal with some complicated paperwork at least the project gave me the focus to start and finish a variety of new things, attain some new skills and to stop procrastinating and shoving that complicated paperwork to the back of the to do piles building up on my desk.

And now on the last day of 365 projects over 365 days, there is just one last thing to do.

To work out what my project for next year will be.

Happy New Year.
