My Finish-A-Long Quarter 3 List - How Did I Do?

10/2/2017

1 Comment

 
I like to check in at the end of each quarter (or at least before I post my next list) to take inventory of how I did that quarter and give thought to what should end up on the next list.  I don't know what to say about this third quarter of the year.  In a way it was somewhat successful but then I also think it was a total fail, I'm not sure, I guess it is all about perspective.  So let's see what happened:

Finished

I did finish two projects, but didn't link them up with the Finish-A-Long for two reasons.  First, I'm not eligible for prizes so it doesn't really matter if I link up and second because I don't have good finished photos yet.

I finished my Little Girl's Waterfall Raglan, it fits and is super cute, so that is a win.

I finished my Take The Plunge Swimsuit for myself.  It is a win for so many reasons it isn't even funny, it fits, it fits GREAT, it is flattering and I wore it on vacation and several swimming excursions that we went on.  I love everything about it and will make more.

I plan to photograph and blog about both, especially my swimsuit, I just need to gather the strength to post a photo of myself in it online.  EEK.

Worked On

I worked on two other projects, worked on them diligently, just didn't finish them.

I had a small stack of quarter yard cuts of knit to make Little Girl Leggings but when it came down to it I had a change of heart of how I wanted to use these fabrics.  I pulled two out that I would make leggings with, and I have made one pair.  The other three fabrics will be used as ruffles or sleeves on other projects because in the end my little one doesn't need so many leggings right now.

I really made an effort to get my Triangle Bee Sewcial Quilt Finished or at least a top.  And I did make a lot of progress.  Right now it is in 9 large pieces and I'm awaiting additional fabrics to arrive for me to finish.  I've also made pretty good progress on the backing but also need more fabric.  Once that fabric arrives I'll get right back to this one.  I'm excited at how it is turning out.

Didn't Even Touch

The title here says it all, didn't even touch or think about these.  I just didn't have the sewing time, which sadly has been the case this year.  Some of these will carry over to next quarter but not all so you will have to stay tuned to see what makes the cut.

Bee Sewcial Floral Mini Quilt
Christmas Pajamas
Take The Plunge Swimsuit Version 2
Women's Waterfall Raglan
Little Girl Simplicity Pattern

There we have it, nine projects, two finished, two worked on and five I didn't touch.  I think my next list will be a short one.  I feel better when it is a short list that actually seems doable for me, so maybe 3-4 projects instead of so many.  I'll post that list in a few days.  The link up is open right now, so go ahead and write up your list and link it up, you can find the linky HERE.

Thanks for joining along with us, I do so enjoy reading all your blogs and link ups, especially all the finished projects.  I may not always leave a comment but I do visit a lot of them and I appreciate you all playing along.
