As the 2014 begins, I hope you are having as much fun as I in listing the projects you would like to make and other things you'd like to do. My list changes drastically as the year goes on, because there are so many fun things that I find on the net that get added to my "to do" list. So far I have
Family - I want to spend more time with each of the children and their families. And one daughter says she is interested in learning some of my skills.
Quilting 59 on my current list which changes a lot this time of year all the new ones showing up as
BOMS
Sewing 53 items on this list
Embroidery 30 items, again soon to expand.
Knitting 20 pair of socks plus a couple sweaters - this list is incomplete
AG doll clothes So many patterns and outfits these girls would like, but they take a back seat
Learning skills The big one this year is EQ7, watch Quilt Show videos, watch spinning videos and learn to spin to garment to be made. How to digitize some designs I want. How to blog.
Health My goal here is to lose at least 30 pounds and get a daily exercise program - probably walking to be a habit. I received a Fitbit for Christmas. http://www.fitbit.com/one?gclid=CJ-89_CC27sCFVaVfgodL0cAsQ So no excuse.
Spinning there is plenty of alpaca, angora, mohair and wool sitting here waiting. In addition, I have rabbits, one angora goat, sheep and alpacas, dogs - all of whom will produce more fiber.
DIY projects Not so many here. Though I am working with bees and hope to get them more productive this year. repair and sell my treddle sewing machines, clean out a couple rooms that
homeless things go to. Reorganize the sewing room. There will be more added to this list
Charity projects I am making receiving blankets and quilts for the church There are pillowcases and little purple hats to be made for the hospital though I have taught my DH how to do the crochet
ones. He is doing a great job. I'll sew the fleece ones. I like to make a few quilts for street mission
I now have to set some type of schedule for what I want to get done for January. Last year, I tried to set up for each month in January and fell on my nose by April and it all collapsed after that.
I know that I am not alone in trying to get too much done, so I'd love to hear how some of you handle putting too much on your schedule.
