Happy Holidays to you too, Astrid. Your UFOs are so well organized that you are putting me to shame, lol. I should take pictures too. It helps to remember where a project stood at the beginning of the year. You do have a lot but you also did so much more for your Etsy shop, so you had a very productive year. I would like to concentrate more on my UFO in the new year. I didn't do much in 2024 on that front. Wishing you all the best. Enjoy! ;^)

Great start! You have lots to keep you occupied in 2025 and I'm sure other things will creep in and you'll have squirrel moments. Happy 2025!

Karen - Quilts...etc. said...

I have not done an end of the year post of quilts - I must check and see what all I started and didn't finish and what I did finish - I don't have near the projects you do - Merry Christmas

Holey Moley--you sure have a lot of projects on the go Astrid!! Well, you have a wealth of lovely choices for the New Year to keep you busy...
Our day here was quiet and restful after a very busy and wonderful Christmas Eve with my daughter and her four children...
I am making some little Improv pieces and some of my Ojos blocks for fun..no big projects on the go here...hugs, Julierose

I think I will end up doing a mix of UFOs and new projects. That seems to work best for me.
Good luck!

Sylvia@Treadlestitches said...

Wow, what a wonderful list of projects! I'm so happy someone else has a long list like mine, although mine is not as organized! You have so many great ideas. Good luck and Happy New Year!

Marit Johanne said...

I wish you good luck with your UFO's! You have so much beautiful to work with.

Jeanna said...

I absolutely love the way you are keeping track of your projects. You've inspired me to take a deep dive into my crafts. I'm in desperate need of organizing.

In any case, the banana rum cake is important first, preferably with a coffee... what great projects you have there. I would love to come over and help you...
I want to finish a quilt in January, but I also have to make the pendant. And yes, I always find nice things to do in between :-)))
Many greetings to you.
I wish you a happy, healthy new year. I look forward to reading your blog.
Hugs from Viola

Wow that banana rum bar looks delicious! I think my list of UFOs is almost as long as yours, except I have many more crochet projects unfinished. Last year my sewjo and crojo fizzled. I’m going to try my best to stay on track this year.
