Projects, projects, projects....revisited

Last January I made a list of projects that I wanted to accomplish this year.  I completed five of the eight projects.  That's a 62.5%.  I'd earn a D- if it were school and that would be unacceptable.  But it's not school.  It's life.  So I'll just consider it a passing grade.

In my defense I am working on a few of the non-completed items on the list.  There's a family rules poster that I've spotted on Etsy and I'm planning to take a sewing class at a local quilting shop in February (a Christmas present from my thoughtful husband).  Side note: my husband is a fantastic gift finder.  He always gets me things that I want, but I wouldn't have thought of myself.  Ya know?

But, let's focus on the list.  Here are some projects that I did complete.  :)

I finished the wall art for Madeline's big girl room and made her a few extra items here and here.

Madeline has a hair bow holder....which she has already out-clipped.  The girl's got a lot of hair accessories.

The recently completed Christmas card holder.

And then there's the living room.  Oh, the living room.  We did end up finding the couch of our dreams this fall and buying it.  It's nearly the polar opposite of our former sofa.  In other words, NOT country green plaid.  I'd show you some pictures, but really there's no point.  The living room is a work in progress.  And, of course, now that we have the couch it inspires me to do many more lil projects for the living room.

We'll just have to see what projects I find on Pinterest dream up for 2012...
