A Year Of Lovely Finishes Month 1

by | 06.01.2013 | Uncategorized | 13 comments

Well today I’m back at work tomorrow again, but I’m still going to find time to finish things this month, aided and abetted by the lovely Melissa and Shanna, who are running A Year Of Lovely Finishes.

A Lovely Year of Finishes

I’ve decided I’m going commitment light for a while, but both of the finish alongs seemed a sensible thing for someone with 38 WIPs to embrace!  So here’s what I’m hoping to get done this month:

Ironing board cover:

Winterkissin’:

Indie Stars x 2:

Messenger bag:

Are you playing along?

    Don't have space in a year of blogs to show my unfinished stuff. Love the winterkissin' colours and the ironing board cover is very interesting – (Mr Whizz Kid went to boarding school and does his own laundry) – but who needs one?
    I sometimes remember to smile and say 'hello' when passing through the utility room!

    Not playing along but I'll be shouting for your from the sidelines which is nicer than shouting at you to finish up!!

    Is that what you're doing in one month? Wow! I've been making my FAL list and it's not that long for one quarter ;o)

    that;s a long list for one month. I'd probably get that much done in 1 year at my current rate of output. I won't be joining in either but will cheer you along.

    Hi Katy, Today Google Reader spit out several days worth of blog posts at me, so I am in catchup mode. What a great idea to focus on finishes for 2013 (as long as I can keep starting, hehe). I think I will check it out. Good for you on setting some concrete monthly and quarterly goals!

    Not sure which one is your January Lovely Finish focus, but I really like the Winter Kissin' block.
