1. Design my website... We're starting off on the right foot because the website redesign in well under way. I've nailed down my color scheme, started to sift through my "must have's" and "I don't wants" on my sidebar, and thanks to Laura, am creating my tabs/pages. I've been toying with the idea of switching to wordpress, but am a little terrified of the upkeep. Tara Gentile is offering her Website Kickstart Class again, and because I don't have enough to do... yeah right... I'm really thinking of taking it. Does anyone have any experience with Wordpress? Did you like it? Do they have the capability to host your own shop?

2. Finish my first collection by the end of 2011... This goal, unfortunately, has taken a backseat to the preemie clothes, and the commissioned painting I'm working on at the moment. Poor Claire has been in limbo, sitting on my drafting table, waiting for me to get it together. Someday soon I hope to have a couple hours to spend with her.
3. Open my PeachHoneyLove Etsy shop by end of Summer 2011... To be honest I'm not sure if this is going to happen. The PHP clothing line is taking up the bulk on my time, but once the prototypes are complete, and the shop is open, I will have a lot more time to devote to my paintings... I hope.
4. Open my PeachHoneyPreemie Etsy shop by the beginning of Summer 2011... This is definitely happening. I have about 20 blankets and 10 fitted sheets complete, 8 blanket and 5 sheets pinned, and fabric remnant strips that need to be sewn into ribbons for packaging. I am still working on the patterns for two more fitted sheet sizes, and I need to print some postcards to include in each order. We're almost there.... Monday, July 11th is my target date. Everyone cross your fingers.
5. Finish 5 PeachHoneyPreemie clothing prototypes by the end of 2011... We are definitely in business. We have two patterns down, and 3 to go. I started calling companies for fabric samples, and Sacramento Contractors about producing my line. No luck yet, but I keep trucking along. I may have to just bite the bullet and take the trip to San Leandro.
6. Take an encaustic painting class... Not yet, but I have just learned my local Learning Exchange offers multiple encaustic classes during the year. Yay for me!!

7. Start a family... Unfortunately, not yet, but I do have this sweet little muffin to come home to.

8. Sketch more... also on the back burner. I wish I could find the time to balance everything that makes my heart go pitter patter. Do you find it hard to balance everything you're interested in? How do you manage the chaos? Oh, by the way, Check out Heather's blog!! Her Sunday Sketches are amazing, and I hope to be half as good with some practice.

I think I'm doing pretty good... it's only March, right? 9 more months to go. Don't forget about my 101 things in 1001 days... Hope to have an update soon. Have a great week!!
