There are so many projects I'd like to finish. In some cases, projects I'd like to start. I guess we all have a WIP list and there are some great weekly check-ins out there already, like "Make a List Monday" over at Confessions of a Fabric Addict and "W.I.P. Wednesday" over at Freshly Pieced and "Finish it up Friday" over at Crazy Mom Quilts (just to name a few). If you haven't seen them, go check them out!
My problem is that I don't always have an update on those days and I tend to stress when I have a deadline. I love a list but hate a deadline. (Please tell me I'm not the only one??) I decided to make my own list of "Projects I'd Like to Finish" that I'll update when I can. It might be once a day or once a week or a few times per month.
Some of the items below have due dates, some don't. Some are just ideas in my head that I'd like to try out if I can get to them. Cause ya know, the mothering and wife-ing and working outside the home-ing and the training for a half marathon thing sometimes doesn't leave much time for the sewing :-).
- Make 20 (total) blocks for my "Kat Quilt" --- in progress --- no due date --- my goal is at least 2 blocks per week
- Make a carrying case for my iPad --- no due date
- Finish the Phoenix quilt --- no real due date, but before the end of November would be ideal
- Finish the ice cream cone skinny (x2) --- in time to mail out for a Christmas gift
- Decide on a plan for more skinnies --- soon!
- Finish the overly ambitious hexagon quilt --- baby shower is in NY on January 13
- Make a quilt out of baby clothes --- no real due date, but ideally this would get mailed to NY with the overly ambitious hexagon quilt in time for the January 13 baby shower
- Accomplish something on The Forever Project
- Make at least 1 journal cover and decide if this will be the gift I make for my daughters to give their friends for Christmas
- Make at least 1 zipped pencil pouch (pattern pending) and decide if this will be the gift I make for my daughters to give their friends for Christmas
Do you have a list of projects you'd like to finish? Whether they're started yet or not, I'd love to see it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, sweet friend...sometimes I'm afraid to write down all that I have to do for fear I will be too overwhelmed:-D I tell my friends, "I have so many projects to do that won't get done before the Apocalypse!" But reality is, in the next 20 days, I have to finish everything that will be in the booth I'm at for CHA in January...about 30 projects!
ReplyDeleteI don't like lists either but I do find that they seem to help....if not to remind me of what I need to get finished, then to show me how productive I have actually been. Thanks for listing the "make a quilt from baby clothes" because I do have clothes from all three of my kids and I think I might incorporate some of them into my Crazy Quilt UFO, I mean my Crazy Quilt WIP....lol
