I like new. I like when something finishes and something new can begin. I like new notebooks, new books, new yarn stashes, new projects. I even look forward to finishing a bottle of shampoo so I can start the new bottle. It's not the fact that it's new that I like. It's not the fresh scent or the crisp pages that I like. I like that it means a new start. I like imagining how I'll fill the new notebook, or what the new yarn will become.

It's like a new year. The whole year is filled with possibilities. This year could be anything! Something amazing could happen, and this year could be the start of something great. I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions, but I just love the promise and hope that something new brings.

So here's to new projects, new adventures, and new friendships this year. And new life to old projects, old friendships, and steady adventures.

What's your hope for this new year?
