Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!

Posted in Making
Nothing major, I just added some things to my right side bar.  Somewhere over there ------->
you can find my "2008 Crafty Stats" including a link to my Flickr "2008 Finished Projects" photo set.  There's only one item in the set at the moment but I hope to remedy that right about now while my kids sleep. 

This is mainly for my own purposes- to keep track of the money I spend, the yardage I acquire and consume and the projects I complete.  I don't expect anyone else to care much (except my dearest who actually pays for all those "acquisitions").  I've wanted to do this for a while now (as mentioned in my earlier post about my sewing goals for the year) and I really hope I can keep track of this. 

Hopefully getting on the blog to update the sidebar will also keep me posting my finished projects here in actual blog posts, thereby working on my own goal of blogging a bit more often.  Win-win-win!
