Hello 2016

Well it has been a while hasn't it. How are you? So in the last days of 2015 I am looking forward to 2016, wow where are the years going? Why do they seem to come around so quickly the older I get? It is as if time is speeding up. I have many goals I wish to achieve this coming year that I may not fit them all in. A few big ideas I have I need to break down in to achievable chunks as right now they are very daunting and I am sitting back and not working on them.

Do you set yourself goals at this time of year? How do you keep on track and measure how successful you are? I have achieved so many things I never thought possible with my small business but most things still remain to be done. So I must go make a list of what is very important to me right now. I must be brave and begin somewhere Because she who is brave is free!

New Years resolutions/ goals

Hmm. Well this year I have to admit I am kinda stumped on what to do personally. Maybe this will be the year when I stop talking about doing regular yoga classes and actually start doing it. I have made several goals for ClarasHandMade, which include making this blog and more lovely things for the shop. I have already been making next years Christmas advent Calendars as I figured I would not fancy making those in the middle of summer! This is a little sneak peak of one of my designs. What do you think? It is made of white linen and I have hand applied the motifs and hand stamped it with last years Christmas rubber stamp gift set.

I am going for a Swedish theme with these and I will also make some Christmas stockings to go with them. I found some gorgeous ribbon on my travels the other week. I think these have quite a folk/Swedish feel about them don't you? The red will definitely go on another advent design I have in my head.

As usual these will be in limited supply due to their handmade status! My current stock can be found on my Etsy shop: http://www.clarashandmade.etsy.com

Have you made any goals or resolutions for 2014 yet? I would love to hear about them in the comments below.
