Well, that is all good and well if you've finished everything off before the new year starts! Unfortunately, I didn't. So my new year is starting by trying to finish off last year's UFOs. There are two that I'm concentrating on - one for the evenings vegging in front of the
My 'evening' UFO is my snowdrop sampler (see Commissions - updates) and the end is now in sight.
The 'weekend' UFO is our bedroom curtains. One is up (goodness knows what people across the road make of our 'odd socks' look at the moment), the other is in three parts awaiting 'construction'.
Maybe after that I can start to look at new new year projects. Or maybe not - sad face. I'm loath to list what I'd like to make this year as the list I drafted last January has very little crossed off it now. Last year was a bit of a toughie though with lots of family stuff going on, and now that we're getting settled into the new situation this year may be more creative/productive.
However, our next project is to clear my sewing room - very sad face. I'm sad to have to pack it up and move after waiting so long to get it, but there is a good reason (more of which will be revealed eventually). But I'm going to try and 'decamp' rather than 'pack up' by moving my stuff to the laundry room. It will be cosy there, so some will probably have to go in the attic, but there is quite a bit of storage there that hasn't been used efficiently and the ironing kit is already there, after all. Hopefully the non-sewing/craft stuff will find a new home in other parts of the house too (enter DF with his DIY knowledge and toolbag!).
The trouble is, with sorting through the stuff in the sewing room, I'm coming across fabrics and garments that are giving me ideas and I know that I just won't find the time to bring those projects to fruition. Oh well, at least Great British Sewing Bee has restarted to cheer us all up and get us dreaming ;-D
