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.
Thanks for the vent, now back to cutting.

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!

Oooh, that is so nice! 
Wow! An awesome version!
Oooo. That’s very nice. It seems simple at first, but there is a lot to see when you really look at it.
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.

If these ones don’t work out, try this pattern Reusable water balloons. I use chenille yarn for maximum water retention.

Whenever I see chenille, I always think of Chenille O’Neil from The Office (American version).

For some reason I didn’t post as many things as I made last year. 
I went over my goal but gave most of the items away or sold them and forgot to take pictures beforehand. (if I counted correctly then my total was 78 items)
This year I’ll try to post more.
My goal is to buy only thread if I need it.
My stash is getting overwhelmingly big 
No list this year I’ll just add when I finish something
