I never bother to make New Years resolutions. They are a waste of time. I always think that if you are going to make changes, you will and you don't have to wait for a new year to kick over to do it. I think it is much better to make continual small adjustments to my behavior and character throughout the year than to try to make some grandiose change at the beginning of the year. I expect that that is why most people fail to live up to the resolution schemes.
One thing I can tell you for sure about 2010, I will be tatting more lace. Just to prove it, here is the finished Jingle Bell.
The bell was hung from the spruce tree out front and filmed in falling snow. I was aiming for a creative, white bell on a backdrop of dark green needles with a few falling flakes. After a dozen shots taken of a bell wildly spinning in the wind, all I got was a lot of blurry pictures and my new camera getting wet. I probably would have had better luck using the other side of the tree, but then I'd have to explain to the neighbours why I was standing out in the snow in my slippers shivering and taking a close up of a tree branch.
