Do you make New Year's Resolutions? Why not make some stitching goals and see how many you can achieve this year?

Cross Stitcher's New Year's Resolutions:

1. I will make time to stitch every day.
   
   
2. I will keep my supplies organized because this will help me make more time to stitch.
   
   
3. I will purge my collection of cross stitch patterns and supplies. I will keep only what I intend to use and sell the surplus, give the other items to another stitcher, or donate them to a charity.
   
   
4. I will complete any unfinished projects.
   
   
5. I will learn some new stitches or techniques.
   
   
6. I will try a new fabric or stitching surface.
   
   
7. I will stitch a project for charity.
   
   
8. I will teach someone to stitch.
   
   
9. I will share my experience with others as I participate in the Cross Stitch Forum.
   
   
10. I will pass my tips and tricks along to others as I submit Cross Stitch Tips.
    
    
11. I will purchase a new tool or gadget for myself.
    
    
12. I will display at least one of my stitching projects whether it is at the local fair, at my workplace, or elsewhere in my community.
    
    
13. I will design my own pattern(s).
    
    
14. I will sell some of my Cross Stitch projects.
