It's been a long time since I've made New Year's resolutions, they never work for me. But I do like to have a word that sets intention for my year ahead. My word for 2017 is Make.

I knew last fall that Make would be my word for this year because I want to make something more than swatches. I've been swatching it up almost exclusively for a couple of years. When the election happened I was devastated. I felt Make fit more in my year to come because I want to make a difference with Trump in office, or make trouble. I can also make time for friends and family, make changes, make choices or make believe. Make just feels right for me this year. Isobel even made me a sign to hang above my desk.

Do you make resolutions or have a word for the new year?
