Today I wanted to share my 2026 crafty goals! Similar to the last few years, my goal list for this year is short and simple. I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to crafting or my work right now, so I'm trying to keep my goals manageable. I am trying to focus more on consistency this year. Consistently carving out time to do something craft or art related. Staying focused on the types of projects that are making me happy which are projects made with secondhand materials and/or projects made with scraps. Here are my crafty goals for this year:
2026 Crafty Goals
- Continue to prioritize using secondhand or repurposed materials.
- Use up more yardage than I bring in for both fabric and yarn.
- Finish up 1 or 2 long-term projects in progress.
- Release 1 new pattern.
- Make a mini Making Backpack.
- Complete one small scrap project per month.
- Try a new craft! I have supplies to try out marbling, natural dyeing, weaving (with a simple flat loom), bleach dyeing, etc.
- Put my loom back together and weave a new scarf.
- Try to do something crafty (sewing, knitting, painting, drawing, crocheting, etc) most days.
- Have an indigo dyeing day this summer!
If you're looking for some advice for making crafty goals, I wrote a post about my general approach to crafty goals a few years ago, you can find it here: Tips for Making and Keeping Crafty Goals.
Happy Making!
Hi Jeni! What type of loom do you have? I'm thinking of getting a rigid heddle loom and I'm curious as to what others are using. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have a 10" Cricket Rigid Heddle Loom by Schacht and have really liked it!
DeleteAll attainable goals. Hope your new sewing space is working well for you. Do you still use your Juki for quilting?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm loving the space! It's actually a Janome, and yes I do!
DeleteI love your approach to working mostly with what we have and learning something new along the way. Here’s to crafting at least as much as scrolling too!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm struggling with that! It's so easy to get sucked into the scroll!!
