There is a belief among psychotherapists that putting one's goals down on paper makes them more likely to be achieved. Here are mine for next year and a little about why in the world I would want to do these things.
1. Complete all the weaving and kumihimo braiding for part 2 of the Certificate of Excellence in Handweaving from the Handweaving Guild of America. Life happened last year and I did not get the work done and could not submit it. I have 2 years before they will judge again but it may have become time to "fish or cut bait."
2. Become proficient in using my drawloom. I have a Glimakra with 8 shafts on the front and 10 draw shafts. Just cannot seem to ever find the time and motivation to sit down and actually weave on it.
3. Convert my AVL loom to a different kind of drawloom and explore weaving Mayan brocading without having to use pickup or a backstrap loom. Would love to be able to make my own huipils but I hate pickup and my back will not tolerate a backstrap loom for very long.
4. Lose 20 pounds. Like every other woman in America I really want the magic weight loss fairy to come to my house very soon.
5. Help several of my weaving friends start and maintain a blog about doing the COE in Weaving. I have doubts that we will be able to cause a lot of change in HGA but at least we can ventilate. Hope we can help one another figure out the unwritten rules for this thing.
6. Put all the family photographs and paper memorabilia in albums and label them as best I can. I have both my parents' entire collection of photos-none of them labeled. Then I have 30 years of my own photos, most of which are not labeled either.
