WIP Wednesday - Special Christmas Edition

11/9/2011

My normal WIP Wednesday list is on hiatus for while.  Between the holidays and my due date (in January) I am just focusing on what needs to get done NOW.  Instead I have decided to do a special edition Christmas WIP list!  The list above shows the things that I would like to get done before Christmas, all of these are gifts.  Honestly, in my head this list seemed a lot longer, so it really feels good to actually put pen to paper and write the list out.  It doesn't seem so overwhelming now, which is really a good thing.  Most of these items have not been started yet, but some are in the works, and others are in the "pulling fabric" stage, like the pillowcase below.

Two of the items are on the "if it doesn't get done, that is ok" list.  The bookbag is going to be for my son, and honestly if it doesn't get done, oh well.  The other is the table runner I am considering making for my mother-in-law, once again, if I get it done, great, otherwise, maybe next year.

The one project that I am smack dab in the middle of is the pirate blanket for my son.  I am making a large 25" x 26" block (seen below) from the Modern Blocks book.  It is almost finished (the water is laying down and is Heather Ross mermaids and fish.)  I just have to add borders so that the finished size is closer to 36" x 40."  I have not decided how to quilt this one yet (machine or hand) we shall see what time permits!  Wish me luck on all my projects, I may need it!

You have the neatest handwriting! Good luck getting your projects done! I love the slight sense of calm after I make a list and stop worrying about all the things I need to do. Your son's pirate blanket is going to be awesome!

I just made my Christmas list as well. It's long- I probably should get started and leave some of my other stuff to the side.

That pirate blanket is so amazing! And quite an impressive "to do" list given your major work in progress (the one with the due date)! Best of luck!

I'm afraid to write down everything I'd like to get done before Christmas, the long list would scare me! Especially since most of the items would only be "gift for X," which would remind me how many gifts I don't have figured out yet.

Love the pirate ship, it's going to be fabtastic!

I have to admit I saw the words "Pirate Blanket" on your list and found it hard to concentrate on anything else! It looks great so far!

I love the way you presented your WIP list, super-cute! I totally understand your desire to get chomping on the Christmas to do list! I think I am due a few weeks after you (although the doctor just told me he thinks she is coming sooner). How are you planning to deal with projects when the baby comes? Are you finding yourself working on twice as many projects to get them done before the baby? BTW, I also love the mermaids under the pirate ship!
