I am going to try this, and see if it helps me get my projects done, and helps me use my stash. I am trying to avoid swaps & focus on clearing these things out of my brain! This year is all about getting these nebulous ideas all the way to reality! Many things on this list will not make sense, it is from a game or a book. There is no way I will do all these but it helps to see it all listed out in one place as I have ~10 different lists of projects to combine here.

I’m working on what will be my 4th project for the year… if I can make myself keep going, that is. Not difficult, just tedious and dull. All the feather/down throw pillow inserts shed their dang feathers through their own fabric and the covers I’ve made. Pokey and messy. So I ordered fabric designed just for this purpose and blarg, what a drag. Doesn’t help that no two forms are the same size so I can’t semi-mindlessly cut. Le sigh.
I’ve started 2 projects that hopefully won’t take eleventy-million years to complete. I managed 25/50 last year but some of them were like the Thing that took Aaaaaaages. I’m looking for a few nice-but-quick wins around here for first quarter crafting.
I am in. I hope to finish the two blankets I have done. I need to make the baby some warm pants for next winter. I didn’t get to this year because I was so busy.

JANUARY PROMPT FOR PROJECTS:
Rethink a supply or project you have had in your pile for a while. Make it into something else. It can be functional or just for show.
Make something that can be used more than once.
Make something for yourself.
Make something warm (if you are in a cold place) or something cool (if you are in a hot place).
Make something inspired by someone here.
Prompts are to help you get going if you like using them! Do none, one or all!
I just saw the prompts for January, but just added a new finish to my list that is something that can be used more than once, for myself! I am midway through a project that is from materials I decided to rethink and put to use as something totally different. NEATO!
First project of the year is done. I made some crochet water balls/balloons. I’m starting with 3 and letting the kids test them out before I make more. I used a pattern from Ravelry.
