It's a New Year and New Goals

Happy New Year Everyone! I am feeling much better this year, still battling cancer, but doing okay. So I have set some new goals with my hobbies and life. I am eating better, doing everything I can to fight off this cancer and get better.
My hobbies are numerous, you can imagine how many projects I have in the process. I have over 50 quilt tops that need to be finished into quilts. Ranging in size from wall hangings, to lap size, to queen size, even a couple of king mixed in. I also have many knitting projects worth of yarns stashed to use up. So my goal this year is to finish 50 projects. I have taken up this challenge to get motivated to finish some things that I really want to get done.
My good friend Toni, has challenged herself on her blog to finish 111 projects this year. I decided that with chemo, I shouldn't try and push it so fast. So my challenge is 50, if I get more finished that is just as good!
I should have some pictures in the next week to post of some finished objects. I have been busy knitting quite a bit since Christmas. So am excited to start showing off.
Catch you all later.
