I know a few readers are wondering out there how my year of completion is going.
I have been working on this for way too long.
So far, slow. I am working on that embroidery kit, trying to finish filling in the pitcher. It is slow but it is happening. Same with some sewing projects that I was able to complete at this month’s session at my favorite quilt shop. There is nothing like adjusting skirts because I have lost enough weight to make them need downsizing.
Getting out the door no later than Saturday.
However, I have another task that must be done. I have to send my parents their Christmas gift. This is one task that never gets done before our Easter trip to their house. This year I have the presents wrapped, in the box, and the box is ready for mailing. Tomorrow morning it heads out to the post office. I can’t say what the box contains because I do want Mom to be surprised and she stops by here often enough.
I am leaning towards the Florentine Clay but Georgian Leather is nice, too.
One of the items on my list of completion was picking a new color for the living room. It is currently a pinky coral color but I am choosing from a variety of terra-cotta shades. I am looking to go darker but the husband has requested a lighter color. Can’t wait to see how it will look when the room is finally completed.
How are you doing on your resolutions?

I have a vest that I cut out in November, never looked at in December and just started sewing a week ago. I wish I didn’t start it. Being a seasoned seamstress, I’m shocked at how hard and confusing this is. I’m disgusted with the instructions and Simplicity may get a letter from me.
I like the Georgian Leather!
Some people do not know how to write a pattern. You should write that letter, especially as a seasoned seamstress.
Be careful with terra cotta. My kitchen was supposed to be desert sand, it’s rosy pink.
Everybody needs a few UFOs, gives you something to look forward to.
Adjusting skirts DOWN! That would be a completion project that would bring joy! Congrats.
And it does!
Better get that sewing done before spring fever hit….then the outdoors will be calling! (With the color choice – consider window and lighting while choosing?)
I usually tape the color swatch to the wall and see which one grows on me. That is what I did when I decided to paint my bedroom Avacado.
Nice projects–all meant to be taken with care and precision.
I don’t make resolutions of the New Year’s variety. I can tell you my plans for each day hardly ever pan out. But that’s okay. At least I’m aware of where my time goes and I feel like I have a choice.
Keep up the good work!
