Make a quilt for each of my children

When I was about 8-years-old, my mom made quilts for all the children in our family.  I love that quilt.  I still have it, 20 years later.  It's falling apart, though.

So, I want to make some quilts for my children too.  (Plus it helps to have extra blankets in case one of the kids has an accident in bed, or something like that.)

About a week and a half ago, or maybe two weeks, I decided to make a quilt for my daughter for Christmas.  I went to the fabric store and starting looking around, but then I stopped and realized I was crazy to think that I would have time to make a quilt before Christmas.

So, this year, I'm going to make quilts for my two children.

I need to:
  • Decide which patterns to use
  • Decide on the color schemes
  • Purchase fabric and other supplies
  • Cut, cut, cut
  • Sew, sew, sew

Do you like to sew?  Have you ever made a quilt?

Learn a new craft

I love crafting!

I love learning how to do new things!

So, I really love to learn how to make new crafts!

I always have a list with tons of projects I want to try.  Unfortunately, there isn't enough time to do them all.

So this coming year, I want to learn a new craft well enough that I am comfortable selling whatever it is in my Etsy shop.

So, I will:
  • Decide which new craft I want to learn
  • Research it on the internet and at the library
  • Find some tutorials online (I hope)
  • Make something to sell in my shop
  • Write and post my own tutorial using what I have learned

What kind of crafts do you like to do?  Which craft should I learn this year?
