A new day, a New Year ...

I am not really good at keeping New Year’s resolutions but I do luv the idea of them.
A fresh start, a new motivation, a blank canvas of many days to add more colour to my life...

So here goes ... this is my list of a few things –in no particular order:

1.       Try at least 2 adventure things I have not done before ... I am sure I will know once the opportunity arrives – like paragliding, going on a shark cage dive, or something.
2.       Start hiking trips with the kids ( took the first step with our Christmas gifts when we gave the kids -and ourselves- walking sticks)
3.       Finish the blanket I started crocheting on the 1st. (photo’s below)
4.       Finish the travelling, recipe, photo-journal-like books ... for me and the ‘sisterhood of travelling cooks’.
5.       Spend more time on painting – start with a fixed morning every week doing just that!
6.       Start golf lessons ( made a booking for next week)
7.       Grow, maintain and use my own herb garden
8.       Learn and master a new craft - maybe pewter work.
9.       Explore Jo’burg and our surrounding area... local is ‘lekka’!
10.   Want to loose at least 10kg ( don’t we all?)

What does your list look like?

This is "project blanket" for 2011 



 All my favourite colours...

  1. Hi Belin! Lovely blog! Is the hexagon pattern the one from my crochet book? I really like it - simple and striking. C

  2. Yes - it is the pattern from your book and that is exactly the reason why I love this hexagon... it is simple and striking! Up to date I have finished 15 hexagons(one for each day..)Still a long way to go - but I am enjoying it!
    Thank you, Cornel for inspiring me to do this!!
