Along with the blog, I kept a spreadsheet of all the projects I completed in 2015. It is amazing how productive you can be when you do something, even a little something, every day. Here are some of the stats of my challenge year.
192 completed projects. I did not count sets of things individually, so a set of 4 coasters equaled 1 project.
97 of these were crochet. No surprise there. crochet is my go-to craft when I don’t know what else to work on, or when I need something portable.
27 sewing projects. This was a surprise. I don’t feel as though I had my sewing machine out that often, but apparently, it did.
2 completed quilts, which I actually didn’t count as sewing projects.
3 weaving projects. This needs to improve. I bought my loom at the beginning of the year and it intimidated me for a while.
15 charity projects. I would like this number to go up in 2016.
Along the way there were also the following:
6 bags
3 pillows
17 scarves
8 wreaths
5 pieces of jewelry
39 miscellaneous craft projects, usually involving a glue gun
You would think after all of this, my stash would be almost depleted, but it is not. I need to concentrate on finishing a few long-time WiPs and doing some stash busting. And since the daily creative work has become a habit now, I’ve already started my next project. And I’m using what I already have for it.
My goodness me that is a wonderful array of lovely finishes! I should keep a tally of what I complete I think! Good luck with the stash busting, I think mine just breeds when I am not watching!
Mine too. I’ve made headway on the yarn, but the fabric is taking over.
How motivating is this?? You ere so smart to keep track of everything and the photo sort of says it all!
I was glad I did it. It is too easy to forget smaller projects.
Wow, fantastic makes and so many!! Very inspiring 😊
Thank, you, it was a more productive year than I thought.
Yikes! I would not need a spread sheet just a small scrap of paper! Good job!
But your haiku could fill a book. I haven’t written a poem in a long time.
You were busy too. I was telling my Hubby yesterday that I will have enough yarn when I can no longer shut my craft closet.
My problem is I have a craft room…
Oh my goodness! I have enjoyed all your craft projects and posts 🙂 I look forward to this years too!
The same goes for me to you. You seem to finish projects in no time at all.
Stash busting! Yes! 🙂
It has to happen. Supplies somehow keep multiplying.:)
Yes, like gremlins.
