  10. I will not draft patterns on the backs of amazon.com packing slips.
  11. I will stop plotting to buy an Orla Kiely bag to cut the fabric out to sew stuff.
  12. I will be more tolerant to pink as an acceptable color.
  13. I will stop mass-producing, or else get psychiatric help.
  14. I will keep my sewing projects contained to one room and not spread them all over the entire basement floor.

  3. That is too cute. I see myself in lots of those items. For example, the sleep one... Last night I was still up at 2am going strong. The only thing is, I had to get back up by 5:30am. I get on a roll working on stuff at night or blogging and can't quit. Oh well. Love & blessings from NC!

  4. Looks like a list of resolutions made to be broken! A year without nutella alone would do me in...

  5. Your list is nearly identical to mine, however, I do not delude myself so completely...there is no way to avoid Nutella.
    Melissa, who is opening a new jar today.

  7. No. 6 is never going to happen. You'll talk yourself into a peek everytime. I must also be the only one to never try Nutella, what is it? Good Luck!

  9. I always want to roll my eyes at the JoAnns staff too. Most of them don't even sew and have no clue. Too funny.

    I've never tried nutella, and so maybe I should make it my resolution to buy some soon.

  10. Your list made me laugh! I just finished looking through the Joann's ad from Sunday... and I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to roll their eyes at the cutting counter.
