2011 Crafting & 2012 Craft Challenge


I kept track of how many craft items that I made during 2011.  Here is my tally:

Total Items Made: 789
This includes 37 quilt blocks.
January's total: 106
February's total: 52
March's total: 73
April's total: 48
May's total: 89
June's total: 17
July's total: 50
August's total: 18
September's total: 96
October's total: 42
November's total: 65
December's total: 133

This was all apart of my New Years Resolution to make 365 items during 2011.

As you can tell I did it.  In fact I more than doubled that amount.  My my 2012 New Year's Resolution is to make 700 craft items.  I did not want to run myself ragged trying to out do myself from 2011, but I did want to set a higher goal.

Here is my little tag for my 2012 craft challenge.  Feel free to post it on your blog if you want to take part in this challenge.

2011's 365 Item Challenge




Are you ready for the challenge of making 365 items in 2011?
You can also just sit back and watch to see if I can do it.
I'm going to keep an on going tally on the top right hand side of my blog.

Works in progress as we speak:
- My first pair of knitted socks, which will take a while to finish.  Personally I think that each sock will count as a finished project (which is why there is single sock syndrome).
- Another circular scrubby.
- Unfinished snowflake ornaments left over from my class this week.  I can always make them and save them as gifts for next Christmas.
- A knitted yellow plarn bag.
- A soda tab purse.
- A spool knit rug.
- Several quilts: some being pieced, some tops almost finished, and some finished tops.

I usually make what I feel like making, except when deadlines are involved.  Which means that I usually have different types of projects going at the same time.  Even though I plan on finishing at least one quilt this year and making a few big projects, I also plan on making several small projects.  Those small projects will make this challenge possible.

If you plan on joining me in this challenge, you can grab my button at the top.  I am going to research how to host a link party.  Maybe I'll host a link party at the end of each month and those participating can link a few of their favorite items from that month.

Let the insanity begin!
