I’m trying very hard to go into the new year without owing anyone a gift – meaning that the unfinished Christmas gifts need to get done in the next couple of days, as well as a quilt that I pieced for Sammy but never actually got around to quilting. I suppose one of these years I should resolve to not have any unfinished projects at all by the end of the year, but that seems like an impossible goal. Plus, there’s an old superstition that you should always have something on your needles (for knitting, I’m sure there’s similar things for other crafts) or you’ll have bad luck. So maybe I’ll settle for having an organized craft room with just a few unfinished things.<\/p>\n
On a similar note, my great-grandmother always said that however your house is going into the new year is how it will be for the rest of the year, so I’m trying to also at least get the “public” areas of the house and our bedrooms extra clean. The craft room…well, maybe if the rest of the house stays clean next year I can make it a goal to get the craft room organized for the following year. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
