WIP 08/01/2014
Here we are in 2014 already and I haven't done much sewing at all. Good thing that wasn't my new years resolution...lol
The only think I have been working for the past week is this stupid sinus cold that wont go away. I am use to taking OTC meds and kicking cold and flu bugs in the butt asap, but alas one of the joys of being pregnant means I just have to suck it up...even when I can't...LOL
I did get a bit of work done before the New Year and I will post about that today. As you may recall I was working on a Christmas table runner. Did I get it ready in time for Christmas....well no, but I should be ready for Christmas 2014!
It looks like a hot mess right now, but once its all sewn together it should be quite nice...fingers crossed..LOL
It is called a wonky star table runner and there is a great tutorial over at http://cathy-blueberrypatch.blogspot.ca/2013/11/wonky-wony-little-star-table-runner.html
In order to try and get some UFO's done this year I am going to try and keep my current to do list rather small and just work on one thing at a time. I am going to try and not start anything "new" but instead take one thing off of my no progress list each month.
January's Goal
Finish wonky star table runner

I am linking up with WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced and
@The Needle and Thread Network. Make sure you hop on over there and see what everyone else is working on too.
Take care of yourself - all those projects will keep.
ReplyDeleteThe table runner will be very nice once it is completed. I know how hard it is for me to do any sewing while I'm expecting. Take it easy, and work on it when you feel up to it. ;)
ReplyDeleteOnce baby arrives you won't be doing much sewing at the beginning....sleeping when baby is sleeping most probably. You to do's will keep:)
ReplyDeleteOh! I am so glad you are making one!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Mrs Pickles! That's going to be so cute! And ditto to what everyone else says - TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! All that sewing will keep. :-) xx
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing how go with crossing things off your list and resisting the lure of starting something new :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're starting to feel better now
I remember those days of being sick and pregnant. I hope you feel better soon!
