Wow, ya’ll. It has been a MINUTE since I’ve writ­ten any­thing here. The reason—which I am sure is a bro­ken record at this point— is that I was super busy stitch­ing love­ly cus­tom embroi­dered col­lars from Octo­ber up to Christ­mas. Sad­ly, Brown Paper Bag had to take a back­seat dur­ing that time.

With more time to breath (and reflect), I’ve been think­ing about 2020 and what I’d like to make time for. The first thing I thought of was this blog; I intend to go back to writ­ing in it Mon­day through Fri­day. The sec­ond thing was to spend more time cook­ing, and the third was to assem­ble more jig­saw puzzles.

What about you? You prob­a­bly have a few things that you’d like to accom­plish. I find that the best way to sup­port myself in my res­o­lu­tions is to buy myself some­thing to get start­ed. It does­n’t have to be big, but the joy of get­ting some­thing new helps moti­vate me. And often, the things I buy make it eas­i­er to achieve my resolutions.

Through my Etsy favorites, I’ve been mak­ing a list of items that will sup­port your new year’s res­o­lu­tion ideas. If you’re inter­est­ed in learn­ing the cro­chet tech­nique amigu­ru­mi, for instance, I’ve found a dar­ling anteater pat­tern. But if you’re like me and want to cook more, I’ve also shared a Nordic-inspired oven mitt that is both beau­ti­ful and functional.

Scroll below for ways to sup­port your new year’s resolutions.
