Yes, it is time to think about all the projects you didn’t get done in prior years and about all the new project ideas you have collected so far!
Make a list (or not) and see how far you get. Maybe you have a huge project that needs to be broken down into smaller pieces. Maybe you want to make 50 washcloths. This is your list so do it so it works for you. The only requirement is that WE all want to see and maybe get some ideas as well.
I looked over last year’s list and it was dismal compared to prior years, but life was not great for me last year. Things happen but we adjust and move on. 2025…I say it each year, but this is going to be a great year for projects!

If you want to participate in WIPGO, complete with prizes, here are the rules:
Make a grid of 25 blocks. Across the top will be WIPGO and down the side, 1-5. You can make the middle free or use it.
Fill spaces with WIPS, new projects, combo, etc.
Post your grid in your reserved space.
Work on the monthly “bingo” numbers chosen or work ahead or on multiples, but only color or cross off those that are completed AND have been called for “bingo”.
There can be multiple winners. You win when you have a straight line vertically, horizontally, diagonally, or 4 corners.
Prizes will be based on the number of winners. The more winners, the smaller the prize, ut still, a good one!
You can play more than one “card” and win more than once.

You all gave me WIPGO FOMO, so here we go. I don’t have a ton of WIPs, so most of mine are more works in the contemplation stage/goals this will make me more accountable for. (And @AIMR, if that’s not really in the spirit of the challenge, I’m happy to play along without competing.) Here’s my hastily cobbled together card that I’ll upgrade later.
Thank you for creating this accountability! I do enjoy having a bunch of numbers to share at the end of the year and one of them are how many craft projects I have completed. Even though I didn’t hit fifty last year, I was still very productive. I’ll move my lists over to here when I’m on my laptop. Ideas and WIPs, wow.

@edel asked if I would combine this thread with a WIPGO…I can!
If you want to join in, do a grid and label across the top WIPGO and down the side 1-5. I will call out two numbers randomly for you to work on. You have to finish them to mark them off for the “BINGO”. If you want to do random projects or work on several at a time, that is fine as well, but you can’t cross them off until they are done and the numbers have to be called.
I’ll start January with G-2 and W-5.
A “bingo” will be a straight line horizontal, vertical or diagonal. Or, if you get all 4 corners.
There can be multiple winners and you can play as many cards as you like! The projects can be all wips, all new, or a mix…however you want it. You must post your grids to play and I will keep track of any players. You also have to post the completed items here!
