Random thoughts about how I want to spend my crafty time in 2010.

WRITING

Saturdays (peepshow) will be posts of projects you completed using my patterns.  Sundays (link fest) will be posts highlighting indie crafters.  The rest of the week, I want to fill with updates on my own projects.  In addition to this craft blog, I'm slated to write an article on the First and Third Tuesday of every month over on Make & Meaning.


PROJECTS

- more tutorials
- more videos (and add videos to old tutorials)
- Starling Handbag crochet-along videos
- Starling Handbag crochet charts
- finish both the crochet sweater designs I started
- design crochet things with interesting stitches (not just single crochet)
- make some art
- secret things that I want to surprise you with and hopefully have the time to do
- more embroidery!
- make/mod some clothes


COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Being a contributor to Make & Meaning is a part of this one.  Getting together with my crafty friends IRL is another part.  Also, the posts on Saturday and Sunday are a way to connect with the crafty community.

I always day dream about organizing a craft get-together in a big space where people can come an go as they please.  I've been walking around San Francisco at night seeing all these HUGE offices and vacant stores thinking, "There could be a group of us crafting in there right now."  For all I know, there is already a organized crafty night that I am just not aware of.  I need to do some investigating. (oh!  lookie here)

I'd also like to teach someone to crochet this year.  How do I find that person?


GROW MY BLOG

I'd like to start down the path of generating some DIY income this year.


IN CONCLUSION

I don't really have a conclusion, but ever since I learned to write paragraphs in 4th grade, I've felt compelled to have an intro, a body, and a conclusion for everything I write.  So ... here you go.
