 My problem is, I always make lists of things I want to make and before I have time to complete all of them, I find something more interesting to do.

the same thing happens to me too, i find something that i want to make and write it down then i see something else thats more interesting and i do that before i even start the other thing

Oh, oh...I've got my list made up and will be a part of this group!  As for staying to the list(or not) it's all good! 
Fifty projects is 50 projects!!

[Casey1201]

Im going to make my list and actually stick to it this year...I failed horribly with completing much off last years list.

[lapoli]

Fifty projects is 50 projects!!

That makes me feel better.

I've been working on updating my list a little.  Ideas keep coming to me and I don't want to forget them before I have a chance to record them somewhere.

I think I might try this crafalong for 2011 but more as a way to keep track of what I actually make than anything else.  Making a list is absolutely pointless for me; I'm always distracted by newer, shinier things.    Though I can put one thing on my to-do list - an ocean themed afghan for my niece's birthday in February.  I didn't get it done last year or the year before, maybe this will be the year?  Probably not, but she's years away from university, plenty of time.
