What I Want to Do In the New Year

Instead of making resolutions, I list what I want to do in the New Year.   It's important that it not be the "ought" list, but the "want" list.

Things I want to do this year:

Learn how to do at least three things that are new to me.  I really believe that learning new things is good for the heart and soul.   

1. Learn about fabric design.   
2. Learn about screen-printing   
3. Learn how to convert a PDF book to a print-on-demand book through Amazon.
4. Learn to build a piece of furniture.

Design a doll pattern that would be a fun one for mothers and grandmothers to make for kids.
