Last year I chose EXPLORE as my word of the year.
 |
I began to explore weaving, with the purchase of a schacht rigid heddle loom in January.....
Weaving has been so much fun and so relaxing for me. In addition to experimenting with my new loom, I took a trip to Charlotte, NC, where Kathie taught me to weave on one of her floor looms. I plan to continue exploring new weaving techniques in the years to come.
Hubby and I had also decided to explore new options for worship in our community. It turned out, the first church we visited in the new year was a great fit for us. Trinity Presbyterian Church has become our new church home & I look forward to exploring ways I can become more involved this coming year.
As my knees continued to deteriorate, it became clear that I needed to explore new treatment options. I'd been getting by with meds and shots for years and it just wasn't cutting it anymore. In November, I had a total knee replacement and I'm already way more mobile than I was before the surgery.
As far as quilting goes, I attended 2 classes this year (oddly both involved variations on dresdens!)
I have also been exploring improv more, including participating in Debbie's crosscut quilt along
There are lots more examples of how I used my word, EXPLORE, this past year. All in all, it was a successful word for me! One I plan to continue using well into the future.

What a great word to describe your year. Really terrific...
You've used your word of the year really well and explored many new things...
What will this years word be Ellyn??
Oh, yes, it does seem like a successful year of exploring!
Such a wonderful year of exploration for you. I think the house quilt is my absolute favourite. I wonder what this year will bring as it is the year of beginnings numerologically. I think this is my word for the year BEGINNINGS.
