It's a new year and time to make those yearly goals. Last year I was waaaay too ambitious with my DIY goals. I made 30. I didn't leave room for life getting in the way and
boy did it. I only finished 12 of my 2012 DIY goals.
I supposed I could cheat and make my missed 2012 goals my 2013 DIY goals but there are a few items I'm not sure if I want to do like building a fireplace mantel. I want to live sans mantel for awhile to test the waters.
Crazy, I know.
This year I think it might be best for me to make a few more general goals than a long list of specific goals. That way, if life gets in the way or I get my fantasy dream job as a Caribbean beach Quality Assurance Tester which requires Husband and I to dump everything in snowy Ohio for warm beaches, I won't feel like such a big fat failure at the end of the year because I didn't meet a long list of goals. I'm the Queen of Overscheduling.

General
1. Concentrate on projects using the items I already have. I'm not saying I won't buy any new materials or components to complete the project if that's what the project requires but I
really need to knock the growing list of projects off my Someday list.
2. Find/create storage. We're pretty good about purging and donating the stuff on a regular basis so things don't pile up. But there are some things we like to keep around, like say food but only one designated cabinet in the kitchen for it. I have some stuff stored in plain sight (aka no place to call home) as a temporary thing for far too long.
