About once a year or so i have to take stock of where i am and what i have going on. i am big (and bad) about having multiple ongoing projects....they're everywhere. i need a better handle on things.
So, yesterday i spent 8 hours.....getting all the magazines and books in order on the shelves and labeling them all. my feet and back were tired. we went to town for dinner...no cooking for me. but the shelves look awesome...quilting mags and books, painting books, and art books all pretty lined up.
Today i started early and spent 2 hours going through all the plastic bins i have here in the studio. nothing got trashed....sad. a very few fabrics got put back on the general fabric shelves.....most of the stuff in the bins were projects that i still wanted to do.....someday.
I actually emptied 5 bins....but before you get excited....most of it just got incorporated into other bins. LOL
This side of the shelves are things i want to do...that elusive 'someday'. i hope soon....within 3 years.
Most boxes hold just one project....some hold multiple projects. all have labels so i can read at a glance what is in there.
This side holds projects that i want to finish first. lots of them are started....some even almost finished. but several of these boxes hold multiple projects.
And the things on the top of the shelves are things that are currently on eBay for sale....i am working on that, too. cleaning out the studio of quilts and things i don't need.
All in all.....there are 77 projects that need to be finished.....or started in some cases. i know that sounds like a lot....but the goal is to empty all the boxes on this side by the end of 2013. i think i can do that if i work at it really hard.
Multiple project boxes have labels like "8 kits to make"..... or "11 sets embroidered blocks - ready to piece into quilts". and my favorite box...."18 sets of blocks ready to be pieced into quilts". i am in serious trouble. hahahahahaha i need a withdrawal program.....or many more hours in my day.
PLUS.....besides all this....as if that wasn't enough....i have projects that i am currently working on right now...
...My Tweets flannel quilt with wool applique....only have to applique top border then it is ready to be quilted
...Dear Jane quilt...middle blocks finished....2 1/2 borders to go
...Santa piecemakers quilt....2 blocks finished....10 to go...plus center medallion
...2012 class quilt....borders to add
...Ad signs quilt....just started....2 blocks made...probably make about 100
...blue and green selvage quilt...all blue done...about half green done
...embroidered Earth Angels blocks...just started...1 of 20 blocks done
...embroider Geisha quilt....4 blocks made....about 40 to go
...UFO #11 for this month to be quilted
AND....there are:
...14 tops in the 'to be quilted' cabinet that are mine
...4 customer quilts to be quilted
So, if you don't see me for a bit....i am locked in the studio...working.
Send food
Later (maybe much later) hahahahaha
