Checklist: kinda sorta done?
Posted January 4, 2012
on:This past (!) year, while finishing up my comps and waiting for Teddy to arrive, I compiled a TO DO list, and here’s how it turned out:
*There are 3 rooms to paint (playroom, bathroom, and guest room) KINDA DONE. Managed to paint bathroom. Then we moved and I ended up painting BOTH boys’ rooms, the living room, hallway, dining room and kitchen. In four days. Beat that!
*Teddy’s blanket to finish – Still waiting on four squares. Almost finished!
*Teddy’s birth announcements to make – DONE.
*Thank You cards – DONE.
*Halloween + Thanksgiving cards to create and have on standby. – Started and never finished. Alas.
*Christmas cards – DONE.
* Christmas gifts ?!?!? – Sorta kinda. Made art trays for the boys, and a monogram letter for Charlotte. (see here and here)
* Blanket for my friend’s December baby – didn’t happen. Gonna have to work on that.
* My Etsy shop to update and add to – Right now that bad boy is out of commission. Boo hiss.
* A matching scarf + hat to knit for Ksmart, who just moved to cold, cold Illinois : ( – Scarf, DONE. Hat, not gonna happen.
* Earrings using fabulous Kazuri beads I’ve had for-ev-er. – Nope.
* Button bracelets to thread and sell. – Made three, never posted or sold them. Jack later broke one of them.
* Learning to thread and use super expensive sewing machine that’s been sitting dormant for almost a year. – Managed to unpack and set up sewing machine. Threaded it. Then packed it back up and moved it. Still in box.
* Learning to embroider on said sewing machine – MEH.
* Making a new duvet cover for our bed. – I’m just gonna buy one. Screw that.
* Sewing/creating throw pillows for just about everywhere. – See above.
And other fun things yet to be determined… Does moving count? Cause we did that.
So I managed to get four projects completely finished. I suppose that’s not too bad, considering everything else that’s happened during that time!
