It is a New Year so.....

Since it is a New Year and most people make resolutions I am by the way not one of them , I know myself well enough by now that it wouldn't take long before I broke them ,BUT I am going to try something this year, I have decided to join Carrie in her UFO challenge . Oh the other day when she posted this challenge I said to myself and then had the nerve to post it on her blog that I did not have enough UFO's to join in , what a joke that is so I have decided to sign up and see what I can do to finish off some of the many projects I have started in the past I won't say when as that varies. The challenge is to post three things you plan on finishing or in my case making progress on as I can't see me finishing these quite that quickly but I will give it a shot.

First off is this wool penny rug a free BOM by lovely Melody of The house on the side of the Hill , I am behind in this one so want to catch up , this one is very doable I think and I love working with the wool so no problem there .

This is my SAHRR that I signed up with Sunny and was doing so well , keeping up then I came to a standstill and couldn't seem to decide what to do ,I had appliqued some acorns on which I hated so that slowed progress deciding whether to just leave it or take them off , in the end off them came and this morning I decided on the lighter brown leaves and I like it so they will be appliqued on and then I will sandwich this one and get it quilted ,it will not get any bigger and I am happy with that decision so lets see how much I can accomplish on this in January.

This poor thing has been sadly neglected and the worst part is I have one block to make , yes just one that will be sliced into two parts , the second one is already made and then this will be ready for quilting . Why did I leave this one when I love it , anything fall I love and had wonderful plans of having this ready for the fall season but that came and went and now we are into winter so time to finish it for next fall.
Thanks Carrie for giving me the push I needed and also the chance to see that I did indeed have quite a few UFO's that need to be dealt with . Now those who have followed me for a while will know that I will also be starting new things and most likely making them into UFO's but that is life and what makes me tick ;-)
Thanks for stopping by and wish me luck , looks like I can use it !
