Apologies and Goals

So I started this blog as something to keep me busy while unemployed and looking for work as a recent college graduate. Then lo and behold I got a job about a month after starting this blog. My original goal was to update 2-3 times a month on whatever caught my fancy but as you can see that hasn't happened. My current goal is update whenever I finish a project be it sewing, drawing, knitting, or whatever else I might be interested in. Now that I have settled in somewhat in my new job I hope that I can devote some more time to this blog because I don't want this site to turn into one of those ghost town blogs I keep running across and wish that the author would write new posts. Anyway onto some business.

Since this will be my first blog post of the year I might as well start with some goals.
  1. Write more often.
  2. Improve my drawing and other art hobbies. (and hopefully post some of the results)
  3. Keep on learning. 
So far I am on track with my second and third resolution. I have signed up for some local art classes and things seem to be going well. I can already see improvement in my drawing. Three has been fairly easy because I have been taking classes at Coursera and Duolingo. Coursera is a site that offers a number of college courses, while Duolingo is a language learning site; both of which are free. I haven't been using either of them for very long but my experiences with both have been overwhelmingly positive.

I'll try to keep this up and maybe in time I'll fall into a nice pattern when I'm updating 2-3 times a month like I planned.

Wish me luck and I know it's almost three weeks late but I wish for everyone to have a happy new year.
