Last Sunday I made my first Christmas gift for 2016! Two Christmas tree napkins for Coleman and Chelsea. I am going to try and make at least one gift for someone for Christmas each month. I did that years ago with a challenge and it worked great!
I missed the recent Quiltcam (but hope to catch it this weekend) but saw Bonnie was working on basket blocks. I decided to try one of her patterns for a basket. I am not good with the applique part so this basket shall remain on its own for now. I was thinking it was paper pieced when I started it and I am ready for more paper piecing. I have a HUGE basket of scraps that I have whittled down to HUGE I might say and I need to start using them!
A few years ago I decided I needed a word. I chose "believe" as in believe in yourself. I bought myself a necklace with the word on it and I really did repeat the word to myself all year. Last year I informally had the word "strong" as I would be hiking I would be telling myself I am getting strong. I like the power the word has and so this year I gave a lot of thought to what my word should be. Someone suggested the word "fierce" I am thinking I hope to fit that word next year but this year I am becoming fierce...becoming healthy, becoming who I am want to be. So this year's word is "become"
see how this little kitty is becoming fierce? That is the goal!

I've always thought of doing this and never got around to it. This year I decided to and my word for the year is "balance". I need to find more balance in every area of my life. Going to be interesting to see how the word plays out in my life in 2016. You've chosen a great word.
I like the idea of having a word as a goal.
Great word for the year. Cute little basket. Little being the key word.
