Really, I have been meaning to.

Gah.
What happened to my new year's fresh start?
All that enthusiasm for making new things?

Actually it's still here, sorta. Just with single digit temps, sitting on the couch sounds more enjoyable that sitting in my cold sewing room. Yes, I know, poor me.

Well, here's my growing project list that some day I need to tackle.
Maybe it will motivate me or something.....

- finish birthday present for a certain someone. See, I haven't been completely lazy.

- Consolation bag for me!

- Sunglass case for me. I finally have a pair of sunglasses that I love! Trouble is I have to keep them in the car so I won't break or scratch them in my purse but then they are cold when I put them on and they fog up too much. Anyone know of a good pattern for sunglass holders?

- The infamous Ugly Elvis Quilt - It's not infamous yet but it will be.

- Birthday present for my mom. I have no idea what it is yet but I better figure it out before March 17th!

- Twirly skirts for the little girl.

- Shorts for the little man.

- Various dolls, softees, quilts and whatever else I've managed to forget or that will insert itself onto the list at a later date.


Okay, that's it for now. No reason to make myself ill when I still have 11 months until Christmas.
Hope all of your new year projects are going better than mine!

ooooh- someone's having a birthday? Tell us more ('cause you know she won't mention it until it's all like past and stuff...)

And Beki makes the most superfabulous sunglasses cases ever! Don't know if it's her own pattern, or what - but you totally need to check them out...
