I’m a little late this year in making my list. I do my resolutions a bit different than most. This is my list of projects to work on or finish by year’s end. Some are easy, some are more complex. Ok. Ready?
- chain mail. This is an ongoing project. I’m trying to make some scale mail shoulder pieces for a costume. It makes my hands hurt.
- wool quilt. Another ongoing project. It’s wool applique and embroidery (makes my hands hurt) and I’ve lost most of the blocks. I do have 2 unfinished ones on hand.
- the purple quilt. These are the blocks I made last year as part of the now defunct Go!Club.
- foam. I bought foam and need to cut it to fit storage cases for figurines.
- mend jeans. Pretty simple one, I just have to do it.
- con costume. I have tried and failed several years now to get a new costume made. Any ideas?
- ribbon embroidery. This is a project kit I picked up last year. Or was it the year before?
- casserole cover. Got the fabric and all the zippers. Have to modify the pattern to fit my 9×9 square pan. Will need a good day and a lot of spoons.
- 16 patch & pinwheels. My next big quilt project, queen sized. Trying to get up the nerve to cut the fabric.
- christmas embroidery. Started this several years ago. There are only a few lines left to finish. So why isn’t it done yet?
- dolls. I have several at various stages ranging from “bald and naked” to “just needs a base”. Any one of these will require a series of good days and plenty of spoons.
- silver wire. I’m learning a new hobby, wire wrapping and jewelry making. I have the tools and supplies, I just need to sit down and do it. Yeah.
This is not an exhaustive list of projects, just what I could think of this afternoon. No doubt other projects will interfere. These are the top 12 I want to finish, or at least make progress with during 2019.
