Maybe it is being in the midst of winter or waiting around for this baby to come, but all I can think about are things that I want to do this year.
bee keeping
We plan on getting a hive or two this year and starting a journey of bee keeping. I find bees both fascinating and scary. They have always been the one insect that I am afraid of. But I love fresh honey. I'm excited to see if this happens!
cross stitch/knitting
So this is a new hobby that I have already started. I needed something to do with my hands while I rested at home so I've been teaching myself how to cross stitch. Once I start I can't stop so hopefully I will keep this up. I also really want to take up crochet/knitting.
soap making
I would love to learn how to make my own soap using herbs from the garden. I've been reading some blogs that outline it in detail so I think I am going to give it a shot and see what I come up with.
canning
Canning is a MUST this year. We plan to double the size of our garden and can as much as we can (ha) for the year. I grew up watching my mamaw and mom can so I think I've got it in my blood. I just need to go for it.
bread baking
I love homemade bread. I even love the long process of making it. There is just something different about eating bread that you made yourself. You appreciate it so much more. I hope to bake as much bread as I can in 2013.
write, play, love
"Your heart sings like a kettle
And your words, they boil away like steam"
swoon. I love the lyrics in this song.
Oh my music goals. Always highs and lows. I haven't been as dedicated to songwriting or practicing during the pregnancy but I hope to make the space after the baby comes and I am not tied down to hours in an office. I want to fall in love with songwriting again and pick up my guitar more often. I want to play out for the right reasons---the love of it all. I want to record an EP. I want to get a music website up and going.
Okay. Now my head is spinning.
Let's check back in Jan. 2014 and see how all of this panned out, shall we?
