I was doing really well with doing those monthly wrap ups, and then got all behind! Because I got busy!
So, here is what I finished for August, September, October and November. These are most of them, anyways. Might be missing a few.

Whew! As of the end of November, I have made around 150 items this year! A bit outrageous, but I have gained some weight, so I have many pieces of clothing that don’t fit me right now (sad face). I do need to spend more time on my elliptical to try to lose a good 10 lbs, but finding a time that the exercise room is not in use is proving challenging. Hubs and boy child are using it more, so I would need to wake up early to get in line. I’m very much not a morning person.
Anyways, I also finally got the holster done for my friend, too! Yay…got that sucker off the To Make list. This is just the cell phone picture I sent him, and he liked it. 🙂 Need to get better pics of it, though.
My plans for December are already filling up. This weekend I have several things I need to get finished.
- A strike off that came in the mail yesterday. The round opened yesterday. Yeah, not great timing on that.
- Barbie bags for presents to go off to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. My girl had a ton of barely played with Barbies with some really pretty dresses my niece got them. I had her go through and pick out ones to give away with a few outfits for each. Now I just need to make them a bag for each one and wrap them up for gifts. I need to get them sent out next week, so I have to get on it!
- I am hosting a Christmas party for friends and we exchange gifts. I need to make something for a gift for that, since I like to do that. Maybe a clutch? I don’t know yet. I do have a few things I purchased that I can use for the gift if I don’t have time, at least.
After that, I don’t have too much I need to get done. I will have the week between Christmas and New Year’s off, so I might do some tutorials and some new patterns I’d like to draft.
December is usually so crowded with events that I know I won’t have a lot of free time before the end of the month. I always look forward to that week off. Who knows…I might actually relax and read some books during that time. They are all piling up on my Nook!
Wow! That’s quite the accomplishment! I know I’ve made more things this year than any other year, but I haven’t counted them! Certainly not 150!
Thanks! I have sewn a lot of samples this year, so that definitely gets me sewing with deadlines. I am going to try not to do so much next year. It is getting harder to find the time!
I hear you on that!
