50 Projects, More or Less, 2021

I am finally feeling crafty enough to join in on this. Last year was hard to get any motivation but this year I am determined to get more done while I have the time. I don’t have 50 projects yet but I am sure as I go I will come up with them.

wips:

  1. old 70s needlepoint of a greenhouse
  2. crochet cardigan wrap thingy I have had the yarn set aside for 2 years now hope I still like it
  3. embroidery sampler of my own design
  4. stickers for my planner with my Cricut
  5. seasonal cards with my Cricut.
  6. wooden earring holder

Things I haven’t decided on quite yet:
painted stained glass, this needs more experiments to decide what to do exactly.
Stained glass birds for my mom, and mother in law.

themes I would like to try out:
quilting something small,
filling a sketchbook,
punch needle,

I saw that! I plan on sharing quilts when I make them. I has completed 6 tops total last year. And two or three have been quilted and bound. I think one needs binding yet. The rest need to be quilted.

finished my Gratitude Rosary. Just plain wooden beads on a black ribbon. Markered with flowers. I ‘travel’ from one bead to next, thinking of the next thing I am grateful for. Very powerful.
