2008 UFO Challenge

[Lana]

I haven't got a list together yet, BUT I know there is plenty. Still organizing my Christmas totes.

I do have a scarf that I have to get done for my sisters b'day at the end of Jan..

Will get a list together soon I hope.

Well I do think that this may be my full UFO list. Not alot due to the challenge last year. But I may find a couple more things lurking in the craft closet once I get in there to clean it out.

Moms Grandma cross stitch from this past year
Mom & dads quilt from three years ago (mom gave up asking about it so want to get it done)
Foam Snowman ornaments from last year (Not really sure how many I didn't get done but would like to finish)
Pooh Latch hook rug (why did I ever start this oh yea because it was cute)

Good Morning Ladies!!!

Just a quick check in to report that in 2 hours I started & finished the draft dodger & three (yes 3) rice bags, 1each small, medium &large), all made from denim I had "laying around" and I sewed up a hole in the back of one of DD15 stuffed animals. :mrgreen:

I would have gotten everything done faster but yesterday was day 1 WITHOUT a playpen for DS1 because he has figured out how to escape from it! :shock:

Synchroswimmer- 8 yrs ago isn't that bad..... I've been out of school 20yrs & shudder at the thought of the colors & styles ( &BIG HAIR) in those pictures :shock:

One more thing, I said that you don't have to put up a complete list (yet), but as we go along a complete list will be quite helpful both for me, posting and yourself to see how much you accomplished!!!

Tina, great job!!

I am mostly afraid of looking at the scrapbook styles! I think I will look at them and want to tear out all the pages and redo them.

Quickie update from me: My realtor nixed the drapes for the kitchen (they were designed and started before we decided to sell the house, so they have a lot of our kitchen colors in them). so I get to cross those off! I think I am also going to freecycle the latch hook pillows I have.

Hello Ladies!!!!!

I'm still having computer issues :bang:

OK now that we've all gotten started after you finish your "easiest" project I'm suggesting you move to one of your more challenging projects (just a suggestion)

I got in an hour on my chenille scarf.


KimD- good going!! One less thing to think about! ;-)

synchroswimmer- :frown: So sorry about the curtains. can you make something else out of the material? or use it for another project?

Easiest UFO--done! I made my fleece blanket last weekend and have been enjoying it ever since!

I've been working on the cross stitch birth sampler since New Years and continue to work on it a little every few days. It will be a while to get this done, but it'll get there!

The 3 ornaments will be my Rudy day project--I just need to join 2 ornament fronts to the backs and make hangers for all 3. Easy as pie!

DS12's birth sampler He will be 13 this month!
3 pairs of pajamas promised to DSs and DH for this past Christmas
1 camping pillowcase for DH in Steelers fabric (also for Christmas past)
[ :heartbeat: ] GA Bulldog fleece blanket for me!
DS12's Cub Scout scrapbook--he finished 2 years ago
Finish 3 Christmas ornaments started in 1996
Mitten garland for Christmas cards
Christmas apron for me!

 

[synchroswimr]

I know, bummer about the curtains. Oh, well. Maybe I can use them in our new house!

I have been hoping to work on something this month, but I think I am going to have to wait until next month, after my hubby moves. Ack! So much to do! :-D

Well, I am totally amazed at all of you and the volume of craft projects you are able to complete! I have finally updated both of my DD's memory books, which I hadn't touched since January 2007! 27 pages worth!! took me almost 2 weeks to do which was around 25 hours worth! But, hey I am so pleased they are done! I decided my other UFO's were too much of a burden, so I have had a thorough sort out and donated lots of my unwanted craft things to my friends 11 year old Daughter who was thrilled to bits with them! It was quite cathartic and I am happy I can now chanel my energies into new projects:

2 evenings a month on DD's memeory books (on their birth dates)
cross stitch DD8 birthday card
cross stitch DD3 birthday card
cross stitch DD8 Christmas card
cross stitch DD3 christmas card
Finish making birthday cards for August - december
Make Christmas cards for 2008

Now I have made a list I will have to comply!!! :grin:

 

[Dreamer]

My UFO project is DH's Afghan for christmas present this year. It looks like I can have it done this month if I just work on it every day.

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! arty:

Since my last post (in February ) I have been dealing with health issues (all me). Now that I have most of them taken care of I'm ready to get back into the swing of things!!

I still have to read everyone's posts & see who's where but I think it's safe to say I'm dead last since I haven't done much crafting during the last few months. :shock:

talk to all of you later!!
