It is that time of year where I look back at the goals that I set a year ago and see how I really did on reaching each of them.
2014 Goals and comments.
1. Blog at least 4 times a month -- I had one month where I didn't reach the 4 blogs but overall I exceeded the 4 posts a month so am happy with this one.
2. Complete 3 items for myself -- I did finish at least three things for myself this year which is something that is a major accomplishment because normally I focus on things for everyone else and I don't do things for me.
3. Get stash to below 360 pounds -- Didn't get this goal done as I didn't do a lot of knitting or crocheting during the last half of the year.
4. Start Cirque des Cercles on Jan 1/14 and finish it by Dec 31/14 -- Didn't get this finished and the reason for that is once I got the new program to assist me in designing cross-stitch. I did designing instead so this project is sitting and maybe will see a bit of time in 2015.
5. Get some of my craft items up onto Etsy and see if they sell -- Decided I don't have the time or energy for this.
6. Complete 3 cross-stitch that I already have started -- Completed 3 cross-stitch but not ones that I had already started.
7. Spend more time writing both personally and professionally -- This was accomplished as I have been able to write a lot more in 2014.
For 2014 I am happy with what I accomplished from my goals and there were a few new things that got accomplished as well so now to see what happens in 2015.
2015 Goals
1. Blog at least 4 times a month
2. Complete three capes for myself
3. Get stash to below 360 pounds
4. Stitch Blackbird design
5. Complete 3 cross-stitch that I already have started
6. Get craft items organized
7. Complete 2 Stitching Studio cross-stitch patterns
The goals that I have set for myself in 2015 are things that I would really like to get accomplished and hopefully I will be able to reach all of them. The only one that I see as a big challenge is to get my stash below 360 pounds but I am going to really try to accomplish this one.
It is now time for me to to go and start working on some of these goals otherwise they aren't going to be accomplished.

Considering I have been busy with work and dealing with some challenges I can say that I am pretty happy with my 2014 goals so far.
The biggest one that is making me happy is spending more time writing both personally and professionally. This has been a goal that I have wanted to achieve and it looks like this year is going to be a good year for that.

2013 in review and 2014 goals
I decided that it is time for me to look at my goals and see how I am actually doing on reaching my goals for 2013.
2013 goals and results:
1. Complete 225 items didn't reach this goal but that's fine as did some bigger items
2. Blog at least 4 time a month: didn't make it 4 times a month but managed to blog 49 times over the year
3. Compete at Markham Fair in 2013: decided not to compete as I am busy with work this year and it also conflicts with a couple of other work events that weekend.
4. Complete 3 items for myself: knits 3 pair of socks
5. Get stash to below 360 pounds: bought yarn instead of using yarn
6. Complete 3 cross-stitch that I already have started: haven't completed
7. Spend more time writing both personally and professionally: have been doing a lot more writing this year as I kept track of my writing and wrote over 180,000 words (journal and blog) for the year
I can actually pretty happy with where I got with my 2013 goals. I know that there are things that didn't get completed this year but at least I know why. I do wish I could blog a little more but understand why I didn't blog more often helped.

Yes some of the goals are a repeat as I want to continue to do things that make me happy. Of course some goals are repeated because I didn't reach them last year and others are repeated because I did reach them. Of course, there will be other things that come up and change some of my goals but at least I can say that I am happy with where things stand.
My goals give me a reason to work hard and also it means that at the end of the year I can see what I really did accomplish.
