Goals for 2010 In No Particular Order: It's a Wrap Up! And Picking New Ones


I figure now's as good a time as any to do a wrap up of my 'Goals For 2010 In No Particular Order.'

Well, I didn't do as well as I hoped in crossing things off my list, but I managed to get through some as well as others that were on my list but I didn't write about here.



  • Enrol in a pattern making class- what was I thinking! Between work, the girls activities, working on Piper+Lily life in general how did I ever think I could squeeze in a patten making class!

  • Start swimming lessons - see above!

  • Buy new underwear - mission accomplished! Finally, a drawer full of nice pretty underwear! No granny jocks! Yay!

  • Have a stall at one market - well, I had a stall at two markets so I exceeded myself there!

  • Stock my Etsy store - I managed to put a few things up there but no bites! I've decided to stick with Made It as I get alot more traffic to my store through there.

  • Finish the dolls I started making for Piper & Lily last year - pfft! As if that's ever going to happen! I bit the bullet & ordered them some gorgeous handmade dolls from Miss Ruby May for their birthday's this year instead!

So there you have it! Not the most successful outcome, but at least I got new underwear!


Now for my Goals for 2011 in no particular Order!

  • Find a 'Big Girl' bed for Lily - Lily is the family monkey. She has to climb into her cot each night(& god forbid you try to help her!) & now she's starting to climb out. Time for something a little closer to the floor!
  • Work on the Wholesale side of Piper+Lily - Markets are fun & websites are good, but spending so much time working on those things leaves not a lot of 'Mummy(or Me!) Time'. This may help out a little
  • Get Myself a DSLR - Ok, I'm cheating here because I am getting one. Finally. It's coming in the New Year. My love of photography is well & truly back(and I'm sure that The Man of The House is well & truly cursing the day my mate leant me his Canon EOS 7D!).
  • Take some photography lessons - obviously I didn't learn from my previous years goals!
  • Get some new PJs - I see what Jennifer Love-Hewitt wears to bed in Ghost Whisperer(ok, busted, I do watch that show when it's on. But seriously, why did they kill off her husband only to have him come back as her new husband? Am I the only one not ok with that?), & then I see what I wear to bed. No more daggy flannel Pjs that are 5 sizes too big!
  • Buy less new stuff - Not less stuff(god forbid that ever happens!), but less new stuff. More pre-loved, vintage, upcycled, reclaimed, whatever. Just not 'Made in China' new.

Ok, that's it for now. I have a whole major list but I won't bore you with all of them!

Have you set yourself some goals for 2011?

Merry Christmas


I am sitting here wondering how it is that Christmas is upon us already. Where have the past 3 months gone? I've been a bit slack with this blog in the last couple of months, but I guess sometimes life throws up some challenges that take up a lot of time & energy & something's gotta give! Hopefully I'll be back on track with the blog in the new year(prepare yourself for some catch up posts!).


I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas & I hope that you all get to spend time with the ones that you love during this festive season.
