What is she up to now.
I wanted to go back a post and talk about this habit of buying materials and never quite doing anything with them. I have an entire closet full of things – bits of paper, glitter, fancy hole punches, ribbons, assorted buttons and embellishments.
I also have this vague idea that I will make something out of it all – someday. Some mythical day when I have a proper studio set up, spare time, creative inspiration. So basically – never. I don’t think the stars are going to be so perfectly aligned.
So I obviously need a plan. A to do list. I saw, on another blog, a list of all the projects the author wanted to accomplish. Out there for all the world to see and keep her on task. I love that idea. So I am going to make a list and post it permanently on my sidebar. Cross things off as they are accomplished. Let’s see if that lights a fire under me.
So, for those that are curious – the crystal beads were for cellphone charms and the bit or origami paper for a kimono wrapping paper theme.
The first thing on my to do list is to create the list. Check back in a day or two and see what I have come up with.
I think that will be a wonderful start.
I read her list too! It’s a great idea.

Sometimes making the list takes more time than cranking out one of your to-do projects! I have a friend who made an Excel spreadsheet with all her UFOs. Another friend told me her unfinished project list is three single-spaced typed pages long. If it seems too overwhelming you may end up just closing the closet door and trying to forget about doing anything! I put every individual project I have in it’s own “project box”. There they sit, patiently waiting for me to attend to them and free up the box for a new project!
I wrote about unfinished projects today too…great minds think a like.
I really love this idea Andrea. I think that would be a great reminder too, for why I bought certain scraps of fabric. I think you are on to something!
Me again!! I agree with Sara, I think you are on to something. Love the crystals!!
You sound like me with tons of hobbies. I make to do lists all the time. It helps with other chores around the house but my craft to do list doesn’t work as well as I’d like.
