Half-Finished Project Round-Up

I am totally one of those crafters than drops a project into a basket somewhere and then forgets about it for months (and months). As a result, I have about a zillion half-finished projects lying around, just begging to be completed. Can you relate? 

One of my "7 Goals" is to finish all my current half-finished projects. I suppose that along with that, I'd like to, ya know, finish the new projects I start too, rather than create new half-finished projects for myself... That's the hope at least. ;) 

As not all of my projects are finished (obviously), I do not have pictures of all of them. I mean, two of the above photos are Instagram pics, ha! But, these are three of the biggest projects I want to finish. I started the two furniture projects (kitchen table and dresser cabinet) last spring... So almost a year ago! The goal was to have both projects finished for my new apartment, but obviously that didn't happen. Ironically, both projects are almost finished. So hopefully finally finishing them won't be too challenging. That blanket on the other hand, is going to take a while...

Here is my current list of half-finished projects to complete:

1. Kitchen Table ReVamp
2. Dresser to TV Cabinet
3. Crochet Granny Blanket
4. Pallet Couch
5. Kitchen Chairs ReVamp
6. Bubble Lamps
7. Origami Wall Art
8. Glitter Jars
9. Mini Canvas Project

Obviously, not all of those "titles" will make sense to you, but trust me... They should all be pretty cool!

I'll probably add to this list as I remember other half-finished projects, but for now, I think this is a good starting place.

Do you have any half-finished projects to work on? I would love to hear about them!

Seven Goals

Would you believe me if I told you I'd been "planning" this post since the new year? Because, I mean... I realize that it's a little late.

I like lists. I like numbers. I like lists with numbers that seem "significant"... So I wanted to make a list of "13 Goals for 2013." But truth be told, I couldn't think of 13 whole goals. So I just stopped at seven, and still, Scotty has been critiquing my goal "quality." He says that finishing college shouldn't be on my list, but I argue that that is like, an ultimate goal... So WHATEVER BOYFRIEND. ;)

1. Finish College -- GRADUATING IN DECEMBER!
2. Finish my half-finished projects -- I have way too many... 
3. Decorate fully & intentionally -- I've pretty much given up on my current apartment and accepted it for what it is, but when I move this summer, I want to go about decorating in a much more intentional way. 
4. Learn at least six new skills -- I've got some things in mind that I've been wanting to try for a while, and I'm excited to actually do it. (knitting, anyone?)
5. Develop a real "line" of products for my Etsy shop -- I make a lot of stuff, but again, I want to increase the intentionality in my product design.
6. Make {and actually go to} appointments for things -- This one may be a little weird, and in fact it may make you think I'm  a weirdo who must be in some sorry state of being, but I never go to appointments like doctor check-ups, dental cleanings, the chiropractor, hairstylists... I make appointments, and then forget about them. Or I don't have dental insurance, and don't want to shell out a bunch of money to have a hygienist tell me I'm brushing successfully... But regardless, I am long over due for such appointments, and am going to attend them all this year!! 
7. Improve my health in such a way that I feel comfortable and confident in calling myself a healthy person -- I have spent too much time worrying about numbers on the scale and on my clothing labels, and am ready to just feel better about my health overall. Can I get an amen?!

I think these are pretty accomplishable and relatively simple goals. What are your goals for the year? Or even just a goal for right now?
