Blogging Lifestyle

My Plans, Dreams, Hopes and Aspirations for 2017.

01/01/2017

My plans, dreams, hopes and aspirations for 2017…?

Like many of you, I don’t do resolutions. I do plans, dreams, hopes and goals. I plan because if you don’t have a plan how are you going to get what you want or where you want to be?

This year I am writing down in words what I would like. I believe it gives life to a dream to write it down in black and white.

I am very much looking forward to 2017. I feel I have everything I need to face it head on and make the most of it.

Plans, dreams and hopes for 2017

Blogging Plans

I consider 2016 to have been a bridging year. ‘LDJ’, grew from a blog about crafts into a space that reflected my home, my passions, my style and my interests. To put it simply it became a creative lifestyle blog.

In 2017 I want to hone that style. To sharpen it into a blog that encompasses the whole of my lifestyle.

To that end I plan to add a fashion category. Yes (don’t laugh) even at my age, and why not I say? I may be over 50 but I’m still alive and kicking and I still love clothes and shopping on line! I have even quietly started a new Instagram account… I wouldn’t say its fashion, I would say this is me and my  personal ‘fifty something’ style…

I also plan on getting out and about more. I will be brave this year and accept those event invitations I receive, I have promised myself I will attend more blogger events. The ones I did attend last year I thoroughly enjoyed. The best bit? is getting to meet my fellow bloggers.

A personal Blogging Goal

My word of the year for 2017 regarding blogging will be ‘Consistent’ I will aim to be consistent about publishing posts. I plan on writing in advance rather than on a whim. This will probably be the hardest thing I do this year.

Plans, dreams and hopes for 2017

Home Goals (!)

Did you see what I did there? A footballing pun.

Last year Marc decorated many rooms in our home. This year although I have a few moves planned, we will be slowing down on the painting. We are already half way through a new office for me and a larger room for the teenager.

I want to de-clutter, I want a calmer home and I want to enjoy the garden more in 2017.

Personal plans.

We plan on travelling more this year. As a family and as a couple.

As a family, we have a NYC trip in the planning. New York is one of my favourite cities in the world and I want to share it with my loved ones.

As a couple, we plan weekend breaks in the UK and in Europe too. Spending quality time with the ones I love the most is going to be a priority for me this year.

Plans, dreams and hopes for 2017

In a nutshell… my plans, dreams, hopes and goals are to be brave, explore more and spend time with the people I love this year. Simple really.

I could go on, I have lots more plans, dreams and hopes, but these are private ones. It’s a bit like making a birthday wish and keeping it to yourself, because if you tell it won’t come true!

I am raising my cup to the next year. Hello 2017, welcome to my life!

I'd so appreciate you sharing this post!

I’m finally getting back to writing and more importantly enjoying writing blog posts! 
This week I’ve written about how you can save money by buying tablecloths instead of fabric when sewing linen. 
In case you don’t sew I’ve also included a few linen dresses and comfy wide trousers (my next make )for you to peruse too. 
Let me know what you think, it’s a short read and you can find the link in my stories and in my bio under ‘latest blog post’

First dress #isabellatop by @hubbadingpatterns 
Second @mccallpatterncompany #m7969
Third my favourite #validress by @patternfantastique

Lurking in old alleys & having a good hair day. 
Wearing my handmade version of an Arket kaftan dress. Challenged myself to see if I could do it. I did, win win. My version cost £30 theirs was £69. My friend Amanda  @simply.start.living has the real deal and the linen is much nicer. But overall it’s a fair copy of the original (imo) what say you? 
.
Fabric a linen mix from @sew__jessalli used the #arraytop pattern @papercutpatterns I also made a belt for it.

This little boy is nearly 11 years old. The time has flown. He is healthy for his age but is beginning to suffer with arthritis. 
He finds all the best soft squishy cushions to lay on and loves this Moroccon pouffe!
We are reasearching care of older dogs and wondering if anyone has advice on making life easier for arthritic older dogs. Any suggestions very much appreciated. The vet suggested anti inflammatory meds.
