Do you have lists?
Not just lists of the mounds of things you SHOULD be doing. But lists of things you would LIKE to do?
I don’t, but I think tonight is a good night to create a list.
I spend my relax/quiet/hiding/calm-down time reading blogs, and collecting tutorials on things I REALLY want to do. One of the reasons I wanted to start this blog was to post not only projects completed, but projects I would like to do.
Now thanks to everyone in bloggyland I have TON of projects to tackle, so where do I start?
With a MAGICAL list.
This list isn’t going to be EXACT but a rough estimate of what I would like to accomplish by the end of February (keeping it to a month of projects, not adding a list for the year, that just calls for failure).
1. Thee Clutch Purse: I have been eyeing this tutorial here at Noodle Head for awhile. See the gathers and the zipper? I have the URGE to accomplish those things!!
1.
2 . Tee-Shirt Dress Reconstruction: Using this tutorial from Threadbangers, I plan on making a some semi classy with a cute table cloth I found at Goodwill, and with an old shirt I WAS going to donate to GW.
3. 3. The Circle Skirt: Check out this AWESOME tutorial from Dana over at MADE, I feel as though I NEED it, but have yet to score the perfect fabric during my hunts to GW.
4. 4. Elastic Waist Skirt: I know one to many skirts, but I have only one that fits at the moment, and I think people might start to notice at church. Following this tutorial from Freshly Picked, I have the PERFECT material I found last week from GW, its total flower power, but I think its coming back into style.
5. 5. Amy Butler Blossom Handbag: Check out this FREE Amy Butler tutorial over at Sew Mama Sew. I think I may have a sewing buddy on this one: DENICE *cough cough. Though it says advanced I think 2 brains can push through and make this darling purse. I can already imagine finishing it, taking to bed with me, tucking it in, kicking out my husband, then dreaming about tackling a weekend bag …. Aww, I am daydreaming.
6. 6. Reupholster my Goowill High Back Winged Chair: This project was actually supposed to get done this weekend, but with the hubby’s birthday and returning from a trip it was pushing it. But both DENICE and I will be tackling this upholstering job. I been reading this tutorial by Molly over at the Creative Maven. Using her WISDOM, this will be completely hopefully sooner (like within the next 2 weeks) then later.
So those are what I would like to get done. Anything extra is just sprinkles on the cupcake.
But though those things aren’t completed, I have some AWESOME things I have tackled in the past 10 days my hubby has been gone.
Stay tuned!
