50 Projects 2012--Join here and post your lists !

[Ffrogg526]

AlishaMisha - I have A TON of projects that will be doing that.  I have several projects from 2011 that will be going onto the 2013 list because I want to get them done I just can't seem to get to them.

I have a few things I'm going to finish up this year.  I think I'd get a lot more of "my" projects done if I stopped joining swaps!  Which I've backed off on already.    Right now I'm working on polymer clay Christmas ornaments for some co-workers and a shrug for myself.  The crocheting of the shrug may get finished tomorrow.  Then I'll need to do the burying and whipstitching.  But I have to get the ornaments done before Wednesday.  We'll see if I can make that happen.

I haven't posted in ages and I doubt I'll manage to do 50 projects.

Well stuff I've done in December.... of course our Advents wreath. My mom bound it and I only did the decoration.


Also tons and tons of christmas cookies... I didn't took proper pictures and now they are all eaten already ;P


Since I had very little time I decided on very easy christmas card. I still think they are cute


And I finally made a new mini amigurumi dog I promised a friend over a month ago!


I hope you all have a nice christmas time!

[alwaysinmyroom]

Your cards are really nice!

Also--that is the cutest little dog!!

So is it just me or has anyone else started thinking about their 2013 list already? 

I have a few things that I've designated as "plans for when holiday crafting is done," but other than that I only have a few goals, not too many specific items. I want to finish WIPs, make at least one thing for me each month, and be done with Christmas gifts by November. I had that last goal this year, but it didn't happen and now I'm not enjoying the gifts very much. Definitely going to do better with this in 2013!

I agree indigo!  I thought I had started early enough this year, but I was so so wrong!  I think I need to not sign up for swaps in October, Novemeber, December.  I'm so behind on all my christmas presents and baking.  My tree looks so lame and bare right now!

I'm still plugging away on stuff.  I will have projects to share on Monday, for sure!  I'm bound and determined to get a bunch done today, while fitting a massage and seeing the Hobbit!

Jill, swaps are definitely what did me in, too! I can't say no swaps in those months next year, because I can't resist a Harry Potter swap. I just need to remember to work on Christmas during the HP crafting frenzy.

In project news, I baked 2 batches of cookies yesterday, and am about to start on 3 more!

Next year, unless it is a Christmas gift swap, I am not signing up for anything due in December!

I always underestimate how much time I need for the holidays!

I have been saying for three Christmases that I'm making my presents in July and I'm still less than halfway through my list! *sigh*

I made a Dresden Files style wrap shield bracelet, and a Batmask. The wrap bracelet wasn't on my December list, but it was a last minute Xmas gift for my best friend who is moving to England.



And I finished the commissioned Batmask, which is good, but forgot I had an Astroboy due before Xmas too. OOps!



December list
TARDIS and 2 daleks (commission)
Dalek for niece
Skylander Chompy for nephew
Teddy dress for niece (started, just needs bodice)
ASTROBOY
Batman mask (commission)

I LOVE the Dresden files bracelet. But I've always loved that look, somewhat found, something that could save your life in the case of an Apocalypse or pirate attack.

ZombieLilli, advent wreaths are awesome and the bags are so cute.

AlwaysinmyRoom, great basket/bag and the hat rocks.

The rest of you just know you all rock too.

I've looked over my 50s list for this last year and there are so many things there I am just not interested in any more. 

So I think I will carefully pick and choose just a few of the things to keep. I have several other projects I think, think I may want to make for Christmas next year.

I have one project,socks, this Christmas that I had not planned on making, but my dad just seemed to love the socks so much when I saw them.  I do not have much time to finish.

Would not be doing this for any one else either.
