A few blogs I read have recently been posting lists of 12 things they want to do before 2012 (started by oh, hello friend). Why wait until New Year’s to set resolutions when you can tackle a few before the end of the year!

So here is my list:

1. Spend a few days working away from home – thanks to The Rabbit Hole
2. Unpack and organise boxes still hidden in wardrobes since last December
3. Create a small collection of watercolour/digital patterns
4. Finish our outdoor patio in time for summer barbecues and drinks – Finally done!
5. Try a recipe from Frankie’s Sweet Treats
6. Open registrations for the first Your Darling Blog workshop – Can’t wait to start!
7. Finish hanging up all the prints I’ve bought on Etsy – Looking fab on our walls
8. Find a old book with a pretty cover to take to NZ Creative Retreat - this and this
9. Read 3 books waiting on the bookshelf – Done!
10. Create my Right Brain Business Plan
11. Make at least one thing from all the fabrics I’ve collected
12. Eat more fruit and vegetables – Fruit is easy :)

Do you have a list you’re working on? I’d love to hear what you’d like to achieve before the end of the year.
