Welcome 2009! What a year it has been! And don’t you just love the feeling of a brand-new start? I’m excited to tell you that 2009 has even more wonderful things in store at SWAK! A lot is happening behind the scenes to make it a place where you’ll want to come to time and time again.
I came across this quote the other day and it really made me think. It’s by A. D’Angelo and he said,
“Develop a passion for learning.
If you do, you will never cease to grow.”
Don’t you just love that? I know for myself, I have learned so many new things this past year with my embroidery. By continuing to learn, I know that the possibilities are endless and my passion for creativity will continue to grow. Sometimes I feel like I’m close to mastering a technique, and then I gleam some insight from a good friend, a co-worker, a fellow embroidery enthusiast, and I think, “YES! I’ve got more to learn! Let’s keep playing practicing!”
What have you learned this past year and what is something YOU want to become better at in this new year?
I LOVE that quote!!! That is exactly what I am trying to insill in my children! What better way than to follow it myself???
I didn’t learn to sew this year, but I certainly took it farther than I EVER thought possible! That is amazing to me!
As far as material goes-I want to get better at embroidery! I am still prety intimidated by it right now!
Family wise-I want to be a better mommy tommorrow than I was yesterday. Even if it is just something small each day, I want to improve EVERY day!
Thank you Kris!
I agree! Its when you think you’ve mastered something that you shut your mind off to finding out more. No matter how well we know something there is always something else to learn. Growing, learning and keeping an open mind is how we come up with new ideas and techniques.
I’m so happy to be a part of SWAKembroidery. Everyone here is so creative and helpful. I look forward to a wonderful 2009!
