Creative List for 2010

Elsie, who owns one of my favorite blogs, A Beautiful Mess , listed her “Creative List for 2010” today.

I guess it is that time of year where we start making our resolutions and start setting goals for ourselves in the New Year.

I like the idea of a “Creative List.”  There’s so many creative things I’d like to do, but just don’t seem to get around to.

So, here’s my Creative List for 2010.  (Thanks Elsie!)

  1.  Make the time to quilt more often.  I love to sew quilts (probably because my house is so cold) but find that I continue to push it to the back seat in lieu of other things, like television at night, or as my Grandma would have said, “my stories.”
  2. I want to write more often.  I have a thousand stories in my head.  Unfortunately, they aren’t doing anyone any good sitting in my head, so it’s time to let them out.
  3. Paint a few rooms in the house.  Monkey in the Middle is sleeping in a pink and purple room.  I’m not into the whole “Boys must have blue” thing, but he’s mentioned he’d like something a little less girl-ish.  I also need to paint the room where we have the treadmill and recumbent bike.  It still has the drywall and spackle showing on one of the walls.  What’s that?  Oh, yeah…we had that done 6 years ago.
  4. Move my blog to my own website.  I enjoy the WordPress template quite a bit.  It is 100% user friendly and so far, I’ve had zero problems.  However, I’d like a little more freedom to be creative and use different formats for the blog, and so I’m considering paying for a domain and creating my own little space out there, on the web.
  5. Take more pictures.  Rumor has it that there may be a camera for me on Christmas, and I’ve opted for something a little smaller and more user friendly than Real Man’s camera. (If you’ve seen some of the fuzzy shots I’ve posted lately, you understand.)  My initial idea for this blog was to be full of images and words.  Lately, I feel like I’ve got the words down, but that I’m slacking in the images department.

 I think, for now, that is a pretty good start.  How about you?  You have a creative list?  If so, feel free to post it in the comment section.  I think we could all inspire each other!
