Yes, I am a listmaker. Soon you will see that I will get overwhelmed by the lists I am posting and I will abandon some of them.
As I mentioned last month, this list was a way to get me back in the saddle after, what felt like, a non-sewing October. This is separate from the 26 Projects list, and I decided that I would post it again as showing progress is always a morale booster. I might still add it as a separate category to the 26 Projects list, but it might also be good to continue it as a separate post.

Did I say that this list is in no particular order? This list is in no particular order. 😉
I’m a listmaker too! I have lists for my lists sometimes LOL.
I don’t think I am that far gone yet, but I have different lists for similar areas – small projects to do list, UFO finish up list, want to make list. I guess it makes all the tasks more manageable.
I love lists and I love crossing things off my list. I do get overwhelmed with my quilting list when it includes my “want to do’s.”
You have to break up your lists. Want to do is completely separate from finishing lists, etc.
In January, I will make a list of all my UFOs. I find that I put aside my UFOs and when I find them I don’ t have time for them. I will make the list (it is long) and I WILL cross off what I finish. This is my goal for 2014. Reading your blogs motivates me to get my sewing done. Thank you.
You totally made my day. Thank you for being inspired by my blog. I was horrified when I counted up my UFOs. Now I feel great that I have made so much progress. It was just about making a list and taking one step at a time to get them finished. You can do it!
I am definitely a list maker. I like to use index cards for my lists, especially the ones that travel with me because they are less likely to get crumpled and lost in my purse.
Without my lists, I would never get anything done.
I have several plastic Rubber Maid lidded tubs stacked together with my UFOs inside. I took photos of all of my UFO projects and made a list of them, on an XL spreadsheet with their photos, along with information on which tub each project is stored in.
