Goals for 2014

Here are my goals for 2014:

1)  Lose some weight.  'Nuf said.

2)  Work on my office.  I need to clean it, rearrange things, paint the walls, hang some shelves, and make it a beautiful room.

3)  Finish Grandma's cabinet.  Right now, it's in my garage, laden with chipping lead paint.  I need to strip it, repaint it (unless I can get away with not painting it, but I don't think that will work with this), and make it beautiful.  I don't remember much about the cabinet, except that it was in their basement, and I think my grandpa made it.  Whatever its history, I love it.  Except the lead paint...I don't so much love that.

4)  Clean my closet and organize the hidey hole.  I did a decent job separating and organizing all of Jackson's clothes (given to use by family members), but that space needs further organizing.  Maybe some shelves.

5)  SEW!  I have so many sewing projects I want to accomplish.

6)  Be creative.  I'm cleaning out our basement work area, and hope to start doing some of the projects in my head.  Specifically, something with all these French novels I have.  Découpage?  Wallpaper?  Something needs to be done with those, and I'm going to do something fabulous.

I'm typing these out here so I have a list with which to make myself accountable.  I may add to it in the coming months, but these are some pretty big things I'd like to finally get around to finishing!
