Nope to new year's resolutions, but how about a list of aims

Have you seen Gretchen Rubin’s yearly lists? Rather than making New Year’s resolutions, which, let’s all agree we often don’t stick to… Gretchen creates a list of aims for the year. So 2022 is a list of 22 items. Items she’d like to do by the end of the year. Everything from easy one-off items through to bigger ambitious items. Gretchen also chooses a word for the year. 

You could easily do a quilter’s version. Do you have a work in progress that’s been sitting around a while? Have you wanted to learn a new-to-you technique like hand piecing or needle turn appliqué? Or are you an introvert that finds groups like Guilds overwhelming but THIS is the year you’d like to casually attend meetings and meet some likeminded quilters?

My 22 for 2022 is a work in progress and will be mix of personal, business and general life stuff. Everything from, you know, get back on that healthy eating habit path I started in November through to getting the leaky kitchen tap fixed and planting a wildflower garden.
