Some Craft Goals for 2008

Have you thought about your craft goals for 2008? Do you like to set goals in this area of your life? Whether you do or not you may be interested in reading some of these ideas to motivate you in your crafts.

Finish All Unfinished Projects

One of my craft goals for 2008 is to finish all my unfinished projects. I think many people who enjoy crafts find that they soon have so many projects on the go that it is difficult to finish any of them. If you are one of those then why not make a goal of finishing all your unfinished projects this year?

Do One Big Project

If you have finished all your unfinished craft projects and enjoy doing more complex craft projects then you may wish to do one big project this year; instead of doing short projects that are over quickly work on doing one, big complicated pattern.

Learn a New Craft

Why not try your hand at learning a new craft this year? There are so many different crafts that one can do and it is often fun and interesting to learn a new one.

Make More, Spend Less

Become a thrifty crafter this year and stop collecting stock and start using it more. You can also look at other ways of spending less such as learning cheaper crafts and recycling materials in your crafts.

Sell Your Crafts

Why not start your own craft business? If you have not yet started selling what you make then consider the cost of your materials, how long it takes you to make and how much you want to make per hour and work out a price for each of your pieces and then find a method of marketing that suits you best.

These are just a few of the goals you can choose to do with your crafts this year, what other goals have you made in this area? By doing so you can get new, creative ideas to fill your hours with fun and relaxation.
