2024, A Year in Review

I have gotten in the habit of posting a year in review, and it's that time again . . .

While this doesn't really sum up every project that I had my hands on this year, these images represent items that I managed to post on the blog in 2024.  The total comes to 22, which seems like a decent number when you figure that is almost two projects a month.  Considering the backlog of photos that I need to get through and post, I should probably be doing more.  Then again, are people even reading blogs anymore?!

I had a productive December and now that the New Year has arrived, I am feeling slightly less motivated (not sure that's the way it's supposed to work).

But I do have some fun ideas for future sewing projects.  I really do want to finish at least one jacket/coat during the cold season.  And then there is that quilt that has been neglected for way too long . . .

I guess my main "resolution," if you will, is to use up more of my stashed items instead of getting distracted by new items that I see.  And goodness knows, there are plenty of projects waiting for me in the sewing room, so I should probably get back to it!
