Weekend Wanderings - Home Goals 2013

Do you set goals for the year? I started this last year and well, there's some good and some bad really. Life sometimes takes you in different directions, and that certainly happened for me in 2012. At the beginning of the year I had no idea I would hold my first ever market stall in September and be selling my furniture to the public.

As a result, my two big home projects fell by the wayside. I got a lot done but not finished, so January is all about finishing the two projects I started - the entry and Emma's room. I put together inspiration collages at the very beginning of 2012, and I'm still working these into the two rooms.

If you follow me on facebook you know that I've been working a little stripe action in the entry, and I'm hoping to finish it all by the end of January. There I said it, so I better get it done!

I've also have some thoughts on my blog and my business Paisley Vintage. I'm regularly reminding myself to focus on what my primary passion is - upcycling furniture and home decor. I love the thrill of finding a tired and worn out piece and turning it into something beautiful. And then seeing someone fall in love with it and want to take it home. So my goal for Paisley Vintage, in one word is...

My blog will hopefully support that, and help me connect with other amazing DIYers and crafters. I am going to try my absolute best to blog three times a week (another big call!!) but if I don't I'm going to try not to be hard on myself and I hope you'll bear with me! At this stage of my life I can't manage blogging daily, but I think planning out Project Monday, Thrifty Thursdays and Weekend Wanderings will work.

Growth is a perfect word for me personally too. I've begun to realise in the last few weeks (the first few weeks of the new year) that I really haven't looked after myself for a while. Diet, exercise, me time have all gone by the wayside. So those are things I want to spend some time considering too - and I hope to share some of those experiences with you via Weekend Wanderings.

So that's me in a nutshell, finishing what I've started and then working personal growth, and growing my business and my blog. What about you? Got some home projects you're hoping to work on this year? I'd love to hear about them.
