Do you remember Gillian’s (of Crafting a Rainbow) Top 5 series of reflection posts that took the blogging world by storm last year? Well, she’s doing it again this year (after a Twitter chat, the instigator of so much sewing mischief!) and has designed a lovely, shiny, new logo for 2013’s Hits, Misses, Reflections, Inspirations and, of course, Goals for 2014. I’m so glad that this series is going to happen again this year – I found it so interesting to read every body else’s posts last year and did a similar thing myself in two posts (here and here) as I was late to the party.
Here’s what Gillian has to say about it for those new to the idea:
“Want to join in? It’s easy, and the rules are meant to be broken. Basically, between now and the new year, think back over the year and blog Top 5 lists about the following five topics:
- Top 5 Hits: Favourite Creations, most worn or most loved
- Top 5 Misses: Sewing Fails, UFOs, worn once, or complete disasters
- Top 5 Reflections: What did you learn about yourself or sewing this year?
- Top 5 Inspirations: What books, people, blogs, trends etc motivated you this year?
- Top 5 Goals for the New Year”
If you want to know who took part last year, have a look on her blog. It’s fascinating and inspiring reading and a great way to find some new blogs! In fact, the Top 5 is how I discovered Gillian’s blog.
I’ll be posting my Top 5’s between Christmas and New Year. I’ll also be including a bit about last years goals in my reflections… Hope you can join in the fun!
YAY! I love how this brings it all into perspective.
It does, doesn’t it! I’ve been far more productive on reflection, than I thought I’d been!
Love this annual review, really gets me thinking!
Me too! And you have had a stellar year!
I suspect the Annas have earnt a place in the top 5!!
I was just thinking about this in the shower this morning…amazing! A timely reminder, thank you
You’re welcome! It’s great reading everyone else’s posts!
Ooh, I’ll look forward to reading yours! And I’ll have to get thinking about mine…
Hope you have a great Christmas Vicki Kate! And thanks for the heads up on this. I’d love to partake…but whether I find the time is another thing, but shall enjoy reading other people’s.
