Something old something new

There is a bit of disaster at my house..my new kitty (we haven't had her a year yet..she's new)..loves that I have craft stuff all over.she drags cones of yarn from room to room At this moment bags of glass balls and boxes of yarn.
I was gifted a lot of assorted yarn as part of various people I know destashing (if you didn't know.. a stash for fiber folk is keeping yarn till you find a use for it..as compared with buying for a specific project).
Part of the disaster..or i guess it's a delima (disaster is the state of the apt) is that I have too many things I want to make this year..and for a change i have materials on hand to do them.
I am gonna dust off my blogspot ..the goal for 2015..TWO new things a month..a new recipie,pattern,or project. .i have a pintrest board with ideas to try..but among thing I want to try are

..Weekly photo sets..
I did photo of the day for a few years and it became a chore. .so our goal is weekly photo sets (with a theme)

..hand knit socks..
I have made in ornament socks..and have tried several times with others..i have yarn for it..just need to do it..

..finish 3 WIPS.. (work in progress )
I have an afgan,and pop top purse,and na a garter stitch shawl..all need to be finished at some point

..cold process soap. .
I learned hot pricess,time to try another method

..make fudge..
I have disaster after disaster in candy making on my own. .i can figure it out..

..Paint/Draw..
I haven't painted drawn in ages..I need to practice..

And to round it out..
I am collecting recipes for a potluck cookbook.. (hint i would love for everyone to share! )

I think 24 projects isn't too much..and very doable. .With that. .I challenge everone who reads this to try ONE new thing a month ..a new recipie..start a new project..pull out a craft you love to do..Make 2015 about moving forward!

..Cheers..
