More lists!

It’s that time again! I have a lot to get done before the Holidays and time seems to be slipping away. I need to post my list of things to do and start posting a progress report a couple of times a week. At this point, I am not sure if I can even rank what I have to do in order of importance. Ugh!

1. Bento Box quilt – needs to be quilted, labeled and bound. I know that this will be the easiest top to quilt, but I just haven’t made the time to load it on the frame and get started on it.
2. Meghan's quilt – needs to be quilted, labeled and bound.
3. black, white and red quilt - needs to be quilted, labeled and bound.
4. Orientals quilt - needs to be quilted, labeled and bound.
5. Granma’s quilt – I am still in the assembly phase of this one. I need to get my strip sets cut and then I can make the 9 patches. Then, I can assemble the quilt and put it in the To Be Quilted pile.
6. The Super Secret Quilt – This whole thing is just a pile of folded fabric right now. The fabric still needs to be starched per our rules of the challenge before I can even begin to make the blocks.
7. Mug Rug for Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild challenge – I saw the mug last night that I have to make the rug for and I have pretty much free rein. But I still need to come up with an idea and make the rug by December 7 for the next meeting.

That list is of all the things that HAVE to be done in December at some time. It would be nice to get a couple of them done in November, but I really am not going to hold my breath.

On top of all of this, I have things from my 2010 Goals that are still hovering….

1. Use scraps and crumbs – I may be able to do a little of this if I can get my butt in gear and start on the Midget Mania Blocks. But with the list above, can you see why I have yet to start those blocks?
2. Make a project using appliqué – I was planning on the Which Witch wall hangings, or at least one of them, to fill this void. If I make 1 block with the dress, shoes, legs and ruffle, would that count? J
3. Make 12 charity quilts – I have flannels paired up for a few more quilts and could easily quilt 3 of them up to round out this goal, but I will have to find the time to quilt them. And then there is the binding of them once they are quilted.
4. Complete the granny square afghan – the squares are made. I just have to crochet them into the afghan and crochet a border. Easier said than done?
5. Knit 12 baby caps – well, I am at 4. I doubt that I will knit 8 more in roughly 7 weeks. I have shared my baby yarn stash with my granma and bought new skeins for her and her senior group friends and I know that many caps were made. I think I am going to mark this one off by default.
6. Finish bear cross stitch – I doubt this will get done. My heart is just not in the cross stitch anymore. Time to go through the stash and get rid of what I can.
7. Get rid of stamping stuff – I have made great progress on this, but I could definitely re-list what is left on Craigslist and try to get rid of it by Christmas. Although, meeting people to sell it could really cut into my sewing/quilting time. And so would updating my list of what I still have!

And things that I really WANT to do….

1. Start Midget Mania Blocks
2. Make Witch wall hangings
3. Work on the 2009 Mystery blocks
4. Cut the kit for the Paris in the Fall BOM
5. Make a bag for my mom
6. Knit on my Two at a Time socks

Oh, I’m sure the list could go on and on!

And now I am thinking about what I will do once I post this… Probably knit on my socks! Bwah ha ha ha

Seriously, I will have to make up a list of things to try and get done this weekend and then make myself work on them. I have no idea why I keep putting myself into corners like this! Send help! :)
