Happy New Year

I decided that it was time to change the daily reflection........it is finally current!  I will work harder to be consistent as I really enjoy reading and sharing them. 

I did a little stitchery today and started a list of the projects that I have that are unfinished.  I was thinking that maybe I would post them in my sidebar just to remind me of the projects that I have going, NOT as pressure to complete them.....I love having many projects to choose from and will probably always have many going.  I also thought maybe I would follow Terry's lead and make a list of projects finished in 2011, again it would be just for fun, not competition.

I was also contemplating whether or not to sign up for the Civil War Chronicles BOM, it is the second in a series of 5, I would love to eventually have all of them??  The first one in the series is my Civil War Tribute that I am not even half way finished with, I'm not sure what I will do yet, but I need to decide soon as it starts this month.  I also decided that I would not sign up for many BOMs this year, there is so much out there that are free and that would allow me to use my stash such as Bonnie Hunter's Roll Roll,Cotton Boll.  I even thought of  "allowing" myself to sign up for just one and that is it, wonder if I could do it??

I'm planning on spending more time in my sewing room this week, but I also need to get the yearly filing/sorting done.  Maybe this year I will be better at filing and sorting as I go along instead of doing it all in January when I need it for taxes and the other paperwork that I need to fill out at the beginning of the year. 

The Plan......

The plan for this weekend it to get 99-100% of the outside winter prep done, I am going to prioritize what needs to be done and what doesn't get done may just have to wait until Spring!  It seems that there were more things than I realized that needed to be done and I forgot to account for the way life jumps in and happens when you are try to get things done, LOL.

The weather has been so wonderful, thankfully, and I know it won't last forever.  As a matter of fact they are talking of a possible mix of rain and snow late next week......I have come to realize that once that happens I don't usually get much done outside. 

I have been doing a tiny bit of sewing, sounds selfish when I have other work to do, but it is also how I wind down.  I have 3/4 of the binding done on the Frolic quilt and hope to finish it while watching football tomorrow.  I have also been working on the little "Pink" quilt I'm making for my sister, I hope to have it finished soon.  I am trying very hard to finish these before starting anything new, wish me luck!  I want to make a lap size "winter quilt" for the living room ladder with some  fabric I got on sale,  photo of  the fabric coming soon.   I also wanted to make a couple of quilts with some Christmas fabric from my stash, but those might have to wait until next year???   There is also a baby quilt that should be made soon as the baby is due next month.  I have lots to keep me busy in my little room this winter so I should not be bored.  Goodness I keep thinking of other unfinished projects.......but I keep telling myself that sewing is something that I enjoy and not something I should dread, maybe that is why I haven't put a "Quilt To Do" list in the margin of my blog??? 

Hope to get some photos later to share.  Okay time to get moving.......have a great day :0)
