50 Projects for 2026! Set your goal to reach your goal!

[TheMistressT (Tara - she/her)]

Claiming my spot!

Last year, I hit 109 projects (just over 107 in 2024). I have several larger projects on my list this year, but not build-a-giant-deck- or a huge-bookcase-sized. As of now, I am in a mood to focus on these as well as more whole-lotta-details type makes. Some of those are in my holdovers list below.

A few things I would like/should do in 2026 are (some are there from years past or are ongoing):
