There are more, much more. I’ll probably find others on my way down the layers in my stitching room. It would be like a geologic g
But I would like to start some new projects as well during 2009.

2. Challenge

Actually it is not. I’ll combine the first and second the first 6 months.
I could not resist May Britt's One Project a Month challenge. This one goes for the whole year.

Now I need to figure out how to get this badge to the sidebar and list my projects underneath it.
Rita has promised to teach me how to. The Problem might be finding time to do it. But we'll get there one day, soon I hope.

1. Challenge

in 2009

Finish one UFO a month, from January to June.

I just had to sign up at Quilt in Norway.

I love these challenges.

First month should be easy.....

Another 4 months are gone.
Now it has become the year 2009 witch gives me the opportunity to start a new life. :o)

A blogger friend told me my blog was disappointingly still (witch I already knew and was ashamed for). No action at all the last months. Should it be like this?

No, it should not!

Therefore I promised my self to get back to blogging. I’ll try to post more often this year, and not getting involved in to many projects (read: learn self-control). I have even started to exercise a couple of times during the week. I am told it gives you more energy. There is so much I want to do, and shearing it with friends, even gives more pleasure to the accomplished. I am so happy you all are out there, spread inspiration and vitality. I hope I am back to be one of you.
My goal for 2009:

• Great stitching year
  Travel and meet friends
• Spend quality time with my family
• Exercice - Raise more energy
• And be happy.

Sounds easy ? :o)
