Crafting Goals for 2020

I know, it is a bit late in the year to be setting goals, but better late than never!
I have had some unformed goals in my head, but as I am now commiting to blogging more, I should put them in writing and make myself accountable.

My motivation came from reading this post at Snapdragon Crafts. 
So let's give this a go!

1. Stash busting must be number 1 on the list as this is getting slightly out of control! It doesn't help that I now have lots of shop stock that I need to store as well.  I agree with Snapdragon Crafts that it is pretty much unachievable to say you will not purchase ANY yarn or fabric, but it must be seriously curtailed. Definitely I will not allow myself to make any of those impulse purchases. You know, the ones where you say to yourself that you don't know what you will make but it will come in handy for something. This is my go-to story to myself when purchasing at sales! I am going to borrow Snapdragon Craft's 3:1 ratio - 3 times as much yarn/fabric must go out as finished objects as comes in as new purchases.

2. Now that I have rebooted Adventures In Stitchcraft, I must make sure that I keep going! 

3. I must, must, must gather together all my UFOs, knitting, quilting and sewing, and make some hard decisions. Either finish them or move them on. 

Oh well, if Jamie says so then it must be OK! 

4. I was watching a podcast the other day and she said that her son will only accept gifts that are secondhand or handmade. I will want to move towards all my gifts fitting this criteria. 

5. I will also try not to buy any new patterns/books as believe me, I have enough already! There are also so many free patterns online and in borrowed library books that this should not be that difficult (except for the willpower part!) Much as I would like to own all the Stitchcrafts, it is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to find the ones I need to fill in my collection. After joining the KCG and knowing that they have nearly every issue, this need has been tamed somewhat! 

So these are my craft goals. Let's see if I can keep them in 2020! Do you have any crafting goals/resolutions? Maybe, like me, you have some languishing projects that need to see the light of day? Or maybe, also like me, your stash is slowly taking over your home?
