>> Well, I have a few that I am determined to accomplish even if it kills 
>> me. LOL
>>
>> 1. Attend my monthly Webb of Hope meetings each month instead of once or 
>> twice a year so I can turn in my items monthly so my stack doesn't turn 
>> into a mountain of items.  I'm trying to manage the yarn in, projects out 
>> idea a little better.  They want to load me up with yarn and I have a 
>> tendency to not go back to the meeting until I have finished with the 
>> yarn they gave me. I missed the December meeting because it was canselled 
>> due to snow and the last time I went was in the spring.  I am going to go 
>> in January and turn in nearly two full grocery paper bags of baby throws, 
>> toddler sweaters, childrens hat/scarves, hats, adult hat/scarves and ear 
>> warmers.
>>
>> 2. Plan household decorating projects for our cabin.
>>
>> 3.  Find and knit a decent Liberty Cap pattern for my husband.  I found 
>> one that called for a 0 needle, but I've only used a 2 and no smaller. 
>> It also calls for a provisional cast on because you will be making a 
>> perminent fold up brim.  Hmmm, needless to say, I'm still looking at that 
>> pattern.  He found one on the internet for me, but when he was reading it 
>> over, it was a copy of the authintic Liberty Cap, but it was for the 
>> American Girl Doll series.  I could probably convert that one to an adult 
>> size.
>>
>> 4.  I want to put all of my crafting books, magazines, booklets, pamflets 
>> and loose pattern sheets together in an organized manner on one set of 
>> shelves.  I absolutely hate to look for a pattern I know darn well I 
>> have, but finding it is near to impossible.  Then once I have decided to 
>> do something else and am halfway through that project, well well, it just 
>> happens to pop up.  Looky there, where the blue blazes were you when I 
>> wanted you?
>>
>> 5.  I'm looking for a cloth rag doll pattern for the body, at least 12 
>> inches long.  I want to make rag dolls and use scrap yarn for their 
>> clothes and hair.  I have tons of scrap yarn with the web of hope left 
>> overs and I do make use of it, but I'd like to do something different 
>> that I can also give back to them.  I also keep clippings and snippets of 
>> yarn and throw them into a bucket.  I'll use them for the doll's 
>> stuffing.
>>
>> 6.  Last, but certainly not least, I want to totally finish my crafting 
>> room.  We have been here in the cabin for 5 years this month and that 
>> room has been designated the craft room since before it was built, but 
>> not one craft item has been made there nor has all of the craft, hmmm, 
>> stuff, made its way there.  2011 is going to be the year of final 
>> completion!  Yeah right, I'm trying not to hold my breath!
>>
>> Well, I guess there is always 2012 to look forward too?
