To-Do-List

As mentioned in my post of January 3, 2013 one of my goals for this year was to establish and maintain a list of finished and unfinished projects.  Putting together such a list took quite a bit of research.  After rummaging through my stash of patterns, books and kits my scribbled notes were entered into an Excel Spreadsheet.  From that spreadsheet I put together this document.

Periodically throughout 2013 and beyond I hope to update this document.  I will use this resource to hold myself accountable.  My intention is to finish as many items on this list during 2013 as possible.  Hopefully the 2013 finished projects will far outweigh the volume of items I might add during the year.  So without saying anything more here’s the result of my research:

  1. I made the Towne Purse by Lazy Girl Designs. Pretty easy and have used the purse for two years. Although I prefer a bag with one strap not two.

  2. Funny. I started the same list. So much I want to do. And I believe it can be done if I stay focused and refer to my list. I actually enjoy crossing something off a list. Good luck with all your projects. 🙂

    1. Lists can be invigorating and at the same time burdensome. I will do my best to accomplish as many tasks as possible while at the same time probably continue to add to my never-ending list. The thrill at crossing something off is beyond words. Best of luck to you in your endeavor to tackle you very own list. Shoot me a progress report. We can hold each other accountable.
