I am one of those people who are blessed with busy hands. If I’m not writing, I’m quilting or reading or crocheting or drawing or embroidering.

Growing up, my Grandpa and Grandma Hakala were the epitome of that idea. They were always on the move—gardening, knitting, cooking, chopping wood. So I think I get my “bustling” genes from them.

But as every creative-type person knows, all the stuff we accumulate takes up space. That’s why, every year about this time, I take a gander at my private stockpile and vow to use or read what I already have on hand.

I share this bustling gene with a lot of folks in Carding. And every year, they make the same resolution.

You can catch the whole list of resolutions tomorrow, (and probably add a few of your own) right here at the Carding Chronicles. Here’s a taste of what’s in store.
