2012 in Review

The holidays are upon us and before we know it, it'll be 2013! So let's see how I did on this year's resolutions!

1) More (and better) outfit posts.

Success! The last few months, I've been on a nice outfit post rhythm and I should be able to keep it going! 

2) Knit stuff

Yups! Check out all of the lovelies on my Ravelry page! I'm still a slow knitter but I'm gaining more experience!

3) De-stash my stash!

I think my stash progress is going to get a post of it's own but I'm down 12 yds from last year! :D

4) Create a quick everyday hair and makeup routine.

Getting a pixie helped loads on this score but I still could do better here.

5) Sew more blouses and other work appropriate clothing.

Not so much.... But I have been focusing my rtw purchases on work appropriate clothes because I just don't like to wear the work appropriate clothes that I make and I hate making them. So I don't.

6) Get off the caffeine!

 *sigh* Definitely no progress here.... :/

Things I've conqured this year:
