- 2025 Goals -

While I don't make New Year Resolutions, I do like to set a few goals for each year to help keep me on track. 

My Three Craft-Related Goals of 2025

1. For many years I've used hot pink for my storage bins and other accent pieces in my Play Room. This year I am going to remove as much of the hot pink as possible, replacing it with neutral colors. I'm also renaming my Play Room (I know, again.) It hasn't been that long since I renamed it, but I think this will be its final name. From now on it will be Jeanette's Forest. I'm even having a sign made. The decor in the room is trees, trees, and more trees. Wooden trees. Twinkling trees. Cloth trees. metal trees. That's one of the reasons I'm getting rid of the hot pink and moving to neutral colors. The other reason is because the girl bathroom, just off of my room has a burnt orange accent wall and that doesn't go well with hot pink.

2. In an effort to stretch myself and learn new skills I am going to commit to watching at least one crafting YouTube video each week - Jennifer McGuire, Gina K, Simon Hurley, or similar artists. I've never been one to watch YouTube videos, but I have some friends who watch them regularly and they speak so highly of the things they learn. I'm excited about this goal.

3. I've purged a fair amount of my crafting goodies over the past two years and I have a few more areas I'd like to purge in 2025. Though I purge well, I don't have a real good handle on moving those items out of my storage area. This is the year! I'm going to commit to trying to sell what I can, but what can't be sold needs to go to my favorite thrift store.
