finish projects

Work on cross-stitch.

Finish crocheting blanket.

I was having the usual post-New Year’s setback this weekend, so I started this week by trying to imagine what my life would be like if I had all the started projects finished and I could truly focus on something new. This inspired me, so I finished transforming my childhood dollhouse into a bookshelf for the baby’s room. I did shed a few tears at this home renovation project, but I promised myself that someday Barbi and I would again look at wallpaper patterns and carpet swatches.

This was my first New Year’s resolution in over a decade and kicked off a whole list of goals that led me to register for 43 Things. I have serious project ADD and I’m trying to pick something to finish every day, and not start new things until I’ve wrapped up some of the old ones.

My sons room needs painted. Finish Decorating the house.

Finish quilt block #6

so I actually have been finishing more things since I put this on the list. I started and finished a baby quilt, a pair of crocheted mitts, and 3 scrub tops. I also finished a chain link bracelet that’s been in the works for way too long.

yay!

I want to try harder to finish things I start and not to start what I know I won’t finish
