If 2020 has proven anything to us, it's that plans change. But one should at least have some goals.
My goals for 2021 are:
1. DO some quilting. My priority is to quilt one flimsy a month. I have more than a year's worth of finished tops (aka flimsys) in the quilting closet. In 2020 I had hoped to earn my PHD by finishing 12 quilts. Instead, I finished 8 flimsies and quilted 2 quilts. I won't mention the increase in UFOs. Instead I will focus on moving forward to the finish line as much as possible.
2. DO some painting. During 2020, I started learning how to paint with watercolors. There are lots of YouTube videos out there with tips and project ideas. In 2021, I am planning to expand this hobby by painting a set of greeting cards and learning how to paint with gouache watercolors.
3. DO more cooking. One of our fellow quilting bloggers (CatPatches) broke several bones in a fall, and her husband had to take over the cooking. They started using meal kits from HomeChef. I was curious and decided to try their meal subscription service. OMG! The quality and variety are awesome! So far there has not been a kit I haven't loved. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes, and these HomeChef meals have really stepped up my game.
4. DO some flying. I slacked off on exercising my pilot's license in 2020, and I am planning to change that in 2021 by flying at least once a month and to take a weekend flying trip next summer.
5. DO exercise. I was one of the few who lost weight in 2020, although not nearly as much as I had planned. I feel so much more energetic when I exercise. Yet I found it hard to motivate myself. Now that we have our workout equipment set up in front of a television in our new house, there are no more excuses.
