That was 2013!

Yep another year has passed us by…….. join me in looking back on what I did & didn't do!

January 

 I spent a lot of January working in Bristol, I was planning on going for the store managers position so was trying to impress…. wish I hadn't bothered! 

I also signed up to the 50 book challenge.

February 

 Making 1940's brooches, reading books & testing products.

March

 Holiday, yarn bombing, theatre, gigs & cracking on with my granny square blanket.

April

 An all time low….. lots of gigs, drinking too much & feeling unhappy due to work. I walked out on Sunday 28th April!

May

 Days out, spending time with loved ones & my girls…. feeling free!

June

Enjoying the sunshine, remembering Zoe, finally handing in my notice at Laura Ashley & getting a new job! 

July

Starting working for RSPCA, lovely sunshine, remembering Ted & feeling happy again!

August

 Days out with friends & family in the sunshine & rain! My birthday

September

 Remember Charlie, celebrating 5 years in blog land, days out & crafting.

October

 Make, Do and Mend moves to the shop, autumn sunshine, poorly foot & new shoes!

November

 Working hard in the garden, remembrance day, getting ready for Christmas & Crikey!

December

Feeling poorly, staying in bed, making lots & spending time with friends.

I think 2013 was the year I changed things….. I'm very good at going with the flow even if it makes my unhappy.

My plans for 2013 included…

• Get more cats! Nope…. worried the girls won't like it
• Sort my job out  Yep finally!!
• Pull my finger out with Make, Do and Mend or stop doing it I struggled throughout the year but pulled the plug in December
• Be more prepared for Crikey.... don't leave it until the last minute NOPE
• Sort out my crafting area Nope
• Decorate my living room & bathroom Nope
• Slow down & enjoy life more I think so!
• Sew an item of clothing Nope
• Finish my crochet blanket..... think it's about 5 years since I started! Nope but more about this in another post!
• Read more books - I've signed up for a challenge Yep
• Be happy! For the latter part of the year YES!!

I think I did ok!

So 2014….. what will you bring?

• Book in for 3 big craft fairs at Christmas & don't waste time throughout the year
• Plan ahead & make stock that will sell - be organised!
• Complete my things to do list
• Make something for me!
• Think of different ways to continue Make, Do and Mend on a small scale
• Continue reading
• Spend more time with my family (my mum has been poorly)
• Spend less time on my laptop & more time crafting 
• Stay happy!

I think that's enough to be going on with!

What plans do you have?
