But at the end of the day, for me, it’s not the list that matters, it’s the fact that I’m finishing projects. ~Jen @CarolinaTalesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089534109739317863.post-16482256696410196852022-07-01T13:53:52.883-07:002022-07-01T13:53:52.883-07:00What a fabulous year!

You do not have to 'try to do better' - I love making a list and making the plans - but in reality I rarely keep to it. And that is fine - I will make another list because I enjoy doing it , then go ahead and make things that please me! I love seeing your weekly posts and seeing a snippet of your life! 😊Lucy Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910653399470977610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089534109739317863.post-73594459457289650872022-06-30T06:28:34.603-07:002022-06-30T06:28:34.603-07:00I love all the cross stitching you completed!

Maybe you haven't "final finished" them because you aren't 100% convinced your original plans are what you want to do with them?<br />I do love the ornaments, they are precious and heirloom quality.Cinna Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120447596745460176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089534109739317863.post-13355908103156150202022-06-28T23:02:00.368-07:002022-06-28T23:02:00.368-07:00I don’t think it matters if you stick to the list ...I don’t think it matters if you stick to the list or not, I enjoy seeing all your projects. I’m a natural completer-finisher, so we would make a great team, you do the stitching and I’d do the finishing. I hope you manage to find your finishing off mojo as these FOs deserve to be displayed showing your achievements or enjoyed by others as gifts. I think the Santa is my favourite from this year, although I also like the April one a lot too.

I also have a boat load of finishes that need FFOing. Not sure when I'll ever get around to them though.<br />I look forward to your year ahead and what I'm sure will be filled with inspirational fully finishes.Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570549234550398690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089534109739317863.post-58119596780046333042022-06-27T06:58:46.447-07:002022-06-27T06:58:46.447-07:00Ove all your things.

I didn't make them, just bought and given to me. Send me a message on Instagram with your address and I'll be happy to mail them to you.

You ...I enjoy seeing all your projects again, Sam. You were a prolific crafter in spite of ignoring your list. I gave up list making my crafts years ago and let go of the guilt when I just work away on whatever pleases me a the moment. Of course, that's not been happening much this year, but still.. by the seat of my pants is how I tend to roll. Looking forward to seeing what you create over the next 12 months. And seeing some of these projects finally finished. "Dirty word" - you're too funny.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089534109739317863.post-54489631929075361992022-06-26T06:57:28.648-07:002022-06-26T06:57:28.648-07:00Still looks like a great year to me.

I have found that I'm getting better at sticking to my plan only because I've learned over time what I really like to knit and how much I can knit in a year. So my plan has become (a little) more realistic. Plus I look at my plan as suggestions. I enjoy looking at what I planned versus what I did at the end of the year. Adding "goals" like knitting a pattern from a new to me designer has helped me feel successful even if I didn't get the pattern finished.Maureen Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094562392012860836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089534109739317863.post-99399420566272522022-06-26T06:37:29.908-07:002022-06-26T06:37:29.908-07:00Golly, all those xstitch projects you completed! ...Golly, all those xstitch projects you completed! I am impressed. You made me chuckle about final finish being a dirty word. I have really enjoyed watching your projects this past year. You inspired me to pull out my xstitch and get back into it. Thank you for that.
