1. De-clutter and clean the house properly!
Well all I can say there is that it is still an ongoing project, currently I have a clutter free kitchen, bathroom, landing and a sort of clear dining room! The rest of the house, my craft area included are still cluttered, but I have made numerous donations to the charity shops and many trips to the tip as well.
2. Post at least one photo a day on Flickr
Well this one of my successful resolutions I actually manged to keep this one and post at least one photo a day, I will admit it wasn't easy there were days I struggled, days when the weather was against me, or illness got in the way, and I couldn't get out of the house but I managed it.
Even though I did take some very random photos some days!
3. Try and make one item of clothing a month
Well to this one I can say yes and no, yes I did make some clothing, but no I didn't make one item of clothing a month but I will say that I made more clothing than the year before. What did I make Then?
1. One pair of knickers
2. A summer top for me
3. Two pairs of pyjama bottoms
4. A dress
5. Two world book day costumes, the girls went as golden tickets from Charlie and the chocolate factory
6. A pirate costume for youngest my youngest daughter
7. And finally two Christmas skirts for the girl's
The year before I only made two pairs of pyjama bottoms
4. Read more
Well currently ive got three books on the go, I haven't finished one book this year, I'm listening to one audio book, readingone on a kindle and a good old traditional book. This will be one of my new resolutions for the new year finish all these books and not start any more books until these are finished.
5. Try a new craft
Well this is it, drop spindle haven't done it yet another one for the new list.
6. Finish off the lurking UFO'S
Well I only finished one UFO that's the one pictured above, that includes weaving in the ends and sewing up any seams, the rest are still waiting to be finished.
7. Do more baking
All I can say there is that yes I did, hope to be more adventurous this year.
8. Get the garden looking like a garden
That is still a on going project, there is a lot of work to be done, well Rome wasn't built in a day was it!
9. Try and grow some fruit and vegetables this year
Yes, but with success and failure. I got three ripe strawberries and five blueberries, youngest daughter ate the rest before they had the chance to ripen and I only got fourteen potatoes, which is a small success.
10. Start blogging again
Well I did, not as many posts as I would of liked but I did and I hope to do more in 2017

| Time to move on to a new year |
What are my new resolutions for this year? All of the above, but I'm adding a yarn and fabric diet to the list as my stashes are starting to get a little bit out of control, so no yarn and fabric buying, I will shop from my stash until I've got them under control.
