Project a Month

So, my newest goal (which this blog in itself would allow me to check off one project) is to finish (or in some cases start up for those ongoing projects) one project a month.  I know some may say that's a low goal, but for me it would be much more than I feel I am accomplishing lately.

It's not to say I'm not working on things, but I have a lot of art projects that I began, but never finished.  Or things I've purchased to do/make, but never started.  I think giving myself a whole month will be helpful because hopefully I can do a little every week.  And I do keep myself busy with taking a variety of classes.  This month I signed up for a stained glass class and a fused glass class.

Some projects that come to mind:
- Mixed media painting with 3D flowers
- Finish crocheting baby blanket for my niece
- Finish crocheting scarf
- Try canning
- Blogging at least once a week
- Glass chandelier
- Mason jar projects:
       Mason jar organizer
       Mason jar light
       Mason jar soap dispenser for a friend
- Scrapbook: memory scrapbook and wedding scrapbook or maybe baby scrapbook of my niece!  I have all of the materials... now to make it...
- Photobook of my relationship pre-marriage
- Edit wedding photos
- Printing out wedding pictures and putting into albums
- Parent photobooks
- Cake for niece's baptism party
- Cake for CNY Cake Decorating Competition
- Meal planning for at least a week at a time
- Finish designing baptism invitations
- Put together framed picture displays in the house

So... that's everything I can think of off the top of my head.  And realistically, I know there are many more things.  I'll have to go through my craft room and add more to the list as necessary.

Maybe if I get into a good routine I can move up to Project Every Other Week or... maybe even Project a Week!  But, baby steps... baby steps...
