Heck, I’ll be happy if I get 20 of those done this year. I’ll continue to add as I complete or come up with additional ideas. I love that I’ll be able to look over my list and see completed items as well as link to posts of my completed projects so that I can have an account of what I’ve made.
As for you not finishing anything, I have to disagree - your projects have been all over the cutting machine board. I think you’ve completed more with your machine since the start of this year than I did all in total last year!
But, regardless of how much you have already completed, I understand feeling like you aren’t getting much done. Sometimes it’s nice to do a quick and easy project just to have something finished.
I can’t wait to see the completed versions of your in progress projects!
Part of why I chose to make a lunch bag was that I had been wanting a new lunch bag. And I’ve been listening to a podcast and sewing is a good thing to do while listening to a podcast.
But @AudiobookLover, I haven’t finished a paper project in over two weeks! That last one I just waiting to post hoping it had been delivered to the recipient who is a member!
I have received word from someone whose word I was waiting on for one project, so today get to get back to that. WOO!

MARCH CONTEST
A simple contest with everyone having a chance to win. It will be a random drawing but here is how to up your chances.
You can enter only ONE (1) project per week. If you make small items, it will be counted as one project if you post as one…you will be given up to 5 points if you make 5 of them. The most you can get is 5 points per week.
If you enter all 4 weeks, you can pick another project to enter for a total of 5.
Each project you enter will get points:
Small (<1 hour) = 1 point
Medium (1-3 hrs.)=2 points
Large (3-6 hrs.)=3 points
X-large (>6 hours)=5 points
You must state how many points you are going for on your project.
Example: Shawl - 5 points
At the end of the month, you will get one “ticket” for each point. I will do a random drawing from the tickets, so the more you have, the greater your chances! Pick your best projects with the higher point values or make a lot of little projects, etc. Your choice!
You can exchange one project previous submitted because I know how you guys like to randomly do a project that was not planned!
The prize will be a $25 gift card from Amazon or any other online store you would like. International members will get the equivalent of $25 via paypal or online store.
Get crafting! March is a long month so plenty of time to rack up points!

Something for the 12cm gal. This was my first time using lawn and with such tiny seam allowances I spent a lot of time fishing fabric out of my sewing machine’s feed-dogs. This itty-bitty thing caused enough frustration that I’m going to count it as a separate project rather than wait for a batch of three.
…faintly boggled at the idea of a standard SD-sized doll using up a lot of fabric. (Ok, I mostly sew for humans.)
Most of my last week was swap stuff, so nothing to show until I actually sort out pictures of birthday party crafts which are still in the bag that came home from the nature center while this Cold of Doom tries to weaken our lungs before the coronavirus even gets here. (I tried to walk my child to school this morning, got to the top of the hill, & had to sit down b/c I’d run out of oxygen. Ugh.)
I did a little start-and-finish project today. My sister and I do our grocery shopping together at Aldi each week and she lamented not having a thing to keep her cart quarter attached to her reusable bags so today I dove into (one of) the apothecary jars of remnant yarns, pulled a keyring from my salvaged odds and ends and made her this:
I was juggling posting from the chromebook then fast-edit from the phone to add a pic- you caught me! lol
Then it took me waaaay to long to do it because I was trying to be a cool kid like @AIMR and make it smaller after getting it in the post haha!
