Something to think about.......

I've been thinking a lot about the new year to come and the projects I would like to undertake.  I've decided not to join any BOM's or take on any new projects that just call out my name that I find on the web in the next few months.  I just want to pick through my patterns and books that I already have on hand and work only on projects in progress or projects that I had planned last year.  I  didn't finish the Birdies Stitches BOM's - I think I have only 4 finished - yes, only 4!  I've decided to make them into pillows and use the fabric that I had started to use for them on the ORIGINAL project I had purchased the fabric for!  I'm even thinking I don't need to purchase new fabric for awhile - maybe even for the next 6 months.  Does any of this sound familar to anyone else?  Or are you all ready to start on the new BOM's that will appear in the next month all over the web?  

The ONLY thing that I have planned for the new year that requires a commitment is this:

One photo a day - that's it!  Would you like to join us?  Click on the picture for more information.  No pressure, no deadlines,  no stress!  Just you and your camera for the day! What do you say?

  1. That sounds like a plan to me - and yes it sounds familiar, lol! There are a few BOM's I'd like to finish from the past two years. Heck, I haven't even started them. I really like that photo challenge!

  3. I only did one BOM (the birdies) this past year and I don't know if I'm doing any this coming year or not. It just depends on what pops up in blogland. And I've not bought new fabric (unless I needed it to finish a specific project) for at least a year now. It's been wonderful to use up what I have here! Although sadly I don't seem to have made even a small dent in my stash or my projects! LOL

  6. Hi Laurie, Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Those Santa babies are so cute. I have been so disciplined over the past six months saving for the big spend on my trips. I will be going crazy buying fabric for the first six months of the year. When my feet touch the ground I want to make some big quilts with lots of applique. If there is something little floating in blogland I might give it a try. I like the idea of a photo a day. Maybe I will do that one next
    year :) I hope you have a wonderful year and don't stress about the UFO's. I think cushions, mats and totes are great samplers.
