2021 Craft Projects Master List - Update #1

Things really fell apart a few months into quarantine and I fell off the craft wagon. I kept wanting to craft, but life kept getting in the way. No fun. So I need to take a hard look at this list for 2021. The first quarter of the year saw me focused on completing my 2020 Memory Planner and not much else. But at least that’s one item checked off! Let’s see where I ended up:

• Start my 2021 Memory Planner - I have the physical planner, but would like to get at least some documentation started.

• Make 3 cards - I would like to use some of the newer projects that I have yet to break out.

• Organize my Project Life supplies - They are a mess right now…

• Do a craft room tour - I have a bit more to prep for and pictures to take before I can post.

December Crafting Goals

Almost 6 months have gone by since I updated this blog. Terrible… Life in quarantine got very busy and yet also triggered a depression episode. I’m feeling slightly better and hoping to get back into crafting. I’ve been spending my free time creating homeschool curriculum and reading. My last monthly goal post was from July, so let’s check in there.

• Make 5 greeting cards (some using Parisian Beauty) - Fail

• Send out July Birthday cards ✓

• Finish June Memory Planner Pages ✓

December’s Goals:

• Finishing making Christmas cards and send them out

• Finish organizing my new storage area (blog post to come!)

• Update and organize my master projects list

• Finish 1-2 months of Memory Planner pages

• Organize my planner supplies for 2021

2020 Craft Projects Master List Update #1

Something a little different for today. As I’m putting together my new craft/library room (tour once it’s done!), I’ve been trying to mentally organize all the projects that I have started and not finished or not even started at all. So I made a master list for myself! I will be checking in with this list every two months or so. And I’m sure I will be adding to do periodically. My goal is to get 75% of these projects finished by year’s end.

I’m so excited about the amount of progress that I have made in the past two months. I might actually be getting my crafting mojo back!
