What about you? Do you have a list of projects that you are planning, working on, or just finished? I would love to hear about them! And stay tuned. As projects move through my Project Board I will share them here. If there is one you see that interests you, let me know and I may get to it sooner.
A few months ago I created a project board to help keep me on task, to remind me of what I am working on, and to show that I am making progress and finishing things. Unfortunately, I'm not always good at keeping my board updated. I have projects in the works that are not on the board and projects on the board that I no longer want to work on. So, today I went over it and refreshed the whole thing. I removed projects that have been completed for over a month, removed projects that no longer interest me, added current projects, and added projects I am planning or thinking seriously about. Every project gets its own piece of paper. I write the project name on the top and then list the necessary materials and tools. There are four columns on my board: Planning, Acquisition, In Process, and Completed. The Planning label is self explanatory. I considered labeling the second column "to buy" until I realized that some materials were already owned and some could be borrowed. So I called it Acquisition. All the materials and tools listed get checked off as the item is sourced (whether from my craft supplies or the store). In Process includes current unfinished projects. I considered adding another column labeled Holding for projects that have been put on the back burner for one reason or another. But that would just get too complicated. I decided to include a Completed column during a time when Goen required so much of my attention that I was only getting a few minutes of crafting time per day. I was discouraged because it felt like nothing was getting done from the "one minute here, one minute there" method of working. The Completed column lets me know that I can relax and things continue to get done. And there you have it. My updated project board. Perhaps this will help kick me into high gear and I will start the projects I have been putting off.

Hi. My name is Carley. I love to sew, craft, and create. As a Jane-of all-crafts so to speak, I enjoy sewing, writing, cooking, drawing, photographing. But the constant thread (if you'll excuse the pun) throughout my weeks is needle arts. Archives
