Scarlet in January 2012

I had so much fun last night creating the January page for Scarlet's first year calendar:

2012: Complete

Happy new year fellow bloggers!!! I have been inspired by Ali Edwards and Felicity Wilson this year to join in with the one little word challenge this year. I took my time coming up with my word, but in the end i have come up with:

Complete

What does the word 'complete' mean for me and why did i choose it?

I want to feel complete in my everyday life, and most of the time i do - but i want to feel this everyday, making a conscious effort to do so. 

I want the life and world of my little ones to feel complete. I want them to feel secure and not longing for anything.

Creatively, i chose this word is because i am a real 'starter' - not a 'finisher'. I want to change this in 2012, starting with digging out all of the half finished projects i have in my craft cupboard and completing them!!!

I also have a little 'bet' going with a good knitting friend of mine - to not buy any wool in 2012. Both of us want to start culling our stash, so the aim is to not purchase anything, and use what we've got - and even swap what we have so we can do projects we want to do, if we don't have exactly what we want in our stash!! The first person to cave on our little deal has to buy the other a really expensive, gorgeous skein of sock yarn :D Won't be me (i hope!!!)

What would make 2012 complete for you?
