I don't set resolutions, but it's fun to make predictions about what the year holds in store and review them a year later. Sometimes they're hilariously off base, rarely they're accurate, always they tell a little story about the general direction of my life. Here's what I'm looking forward to in 2015!
Events will happen
It's my first full year as a full-time event manager, so the one thing I know for sure is I'm going to be managing a lot of events. I'm running the
Food & Wine Experience for the first time in March (
I volunteered there last year), and the
10th Annual St. Paul Craftstravaganza in May!
Children keep growing up
The milestone in 2014 was Natalie starting first grade, a full day of school, every day of the week. She rides the bus and brings back homework and everything. It's a little surreal and sad but she enjoys it and I'm proud. This year Paisley will actually be in preschool, which is crazy weird.
Personal projects
I advocated
following your passion in 2013, I did it in 2014, and I'll be working to learn and improve in 2015. Aside from my day job and our craft fairs,
Weekly Planner podcast is my main project. As always I want to keep on
making art; I'm super into embroidery right now so we'll see if that sticks.
