The List - for "The Year of Getting Things Done"

August 2011.
Confession time.  
Here's the list of projects to start and complete, and not including gardening, reading, sport/fitness.  This is purely craftiness!
In no particular order:

  • Sew clothing set for my niece. Bought the material in September 2010, prior to me having a proper sewing machine 
  • As above, for my girlfriends two daughters
  • Sew tracksuit pants, the material for which was cut out in June 2010, also prior to having a proper sewing machine
  • Carve a name stamp for each of my boys.  In fact, I have done one for my nephew already, and I think it's cute, so I'd like to do some for myself!
  • Sew those corduroy overalls that I cut the material out for sometime in March um.... 2010....  I don't think they'll fit either boy now! (Again, material purchased and cut prior to having a proper sewing machine.  What was I thinking??)
  • Sew two backpacks for daycare.  Have chosen the material and ordered from the U.S. - it's a shame for local retailers, but the Internet does make international purchasing so much easier, especially with this exchange rate
  • Craft another one, or two, or three, book purses.  I have all the materials, My first attempt worked OK, now I just need to do a new and improved version!
  • Sew a couple of brolly sheets for the single beds
  • Sew the wet bag for my cloth nappies when we're out.  I mean, I've made 3 for other people, why haven't I done my own???
  • Sew present for friend's baby shower.  She reads this so I can't say more.  But I really need to post it in time.   Completed in September 2011 with time to spare :-) Here's what I made for her: a onsie and a softie doll - plus my sister made a nappy wallet especially for her too.
  • Finish my second set of felt faces (think Mr Potato head).  The first set I gifted to daycare.  But that's another blog post.
  • Re-crochet that blasted woolly newsboy beanie
  • There is more.  I'm just not admitting to any more right now.  ;-)
