Cleaning Up.

Two weeks in and I'm still going strong with my New Year's organizing and de-cluttering goals, how about you?  Also on my goal list is to try really hard to finish up my UFO's, not sure if I'll ever cross off that entire list but it's worth giving the 'ol college try.  I have to admit that I'm a little shocked my energy hasn't fizzled out yet :-)  Maybe it's the fact that we have been having an uncharacteristically warm winter this year here in Chicago, barely any snow!  Today it's even in the 60's!!!  I just can't believe it.  


This morning I found this unfinished project hidden amongst the piles and piles of craft and fabric fun (remember that photo of my studio I shared on Facebook?) my sewing studio seemed to somehow have eaten in the last three months.  I think I started it back in September.  Tonight, I'm going to try to get most of it done once the kids are in bed...wish me luck!  

We'll speak soon!  
Thanks for stopping by.

XOXO,

Nice! Is that the Lion Brand Homespun yarn? I crochet, but that's my fave yarn to make prayer shawls with. =)

Your craft room picture made me smile. My studio looks just as messy! At least yours looks like it is mostly projects and stuff that should stay there. Mine became a catchall for... everything. I just started working on a desk makeover that needs to be done before I can start working on the mess. My craftiness is pretty much at a halt. Good thing my painting isn't--come here, desk!

Good luck! I have been trying to focus on decluttering for quite a few months now and I think things have been improving. I certainly feel like tidying and cleaning are becoming more achievable. My next goal has also been to finish my many, many UFOs. My big problem is I procrastinate way too much, so to try encourage myself to complete these projects I have created a blog to myself as a way to make myself accountable for my actions (or lack of action). I suppose having a blog that is intended to have many followers, such as your own, would help push you along a little. Does it?

By the way, great blog!

It was nice to see the picture of your studio - good to know I am not the only one! Good luck on your organizing. I can't wait to see/hear how it turns out.
