Fiber Babble: A Corny Resolution List

A Corny Resolution List

January 23, 2014

Abandoned book "Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders" by John Mortimer ♦♦◊◊◊

If you've ever actually sewn with me it's no surprise but to everyone else - have I mentioned that I store projects in empty corn dog boxes? This year my goal is to empty out the corn dog boxes. You see, none of them are labelled and they're all over the place, tucked in corners and stacked on shelves and buried under whatever that is back behind my sewing table.

This is what I found in my first search for boxes. SIXTEEN of them.

Since then, I've discovered another box and there's that mountain of "stuff" back behind the sewing table that may be harboring more of the little devils.

The goal is to just grab a box and work on whatever's in it until it's finished. I haven't inventoried the projects at all, and I did find that one of the boxes here have the leftovers from a finished project so they just need to find a home.

Here's what is in the first box I grabbed.

The blocks and coordinating fabric for the Oh Christmas Tree block swap I hosted for my forum friends at least a year ago, but probably two. Or three. (ack! I just noticed that the Search box at the top of my blog is gone. Bummer.)

Let the fun begin!

By the way, I won't be storing empty corn dog boxes as I complete the projects. I have plenty of other UFOs that can be stored in them; I'll just be sure to mark them when I refill them so I don't get them mixed up. It would probably be a good idea to label the boxes with what's inside, but I'm not going to get carried away or anything...

Labels: craft, quilting, sewing

UFOs seem to be a theme this year. I am in the same camp, though mine are generally stored in Ziploc baggies, or they are finished tops that need quilting. it's going to be fun seeing what else comes out of the corn dog boxes.

Susan, dear Susan - you are a no-reply blogger!!

About how many corn dogs I eat? Well, my stock answer is: I don't cook!

But the truth is that this is an accumulation of many years' worth of corn dog eating - the white boxes are dated 2008.

I made O Christmas Tree way back when. Its in memory of my Dad. It is hanging on our dining-room wall ~~ yes, still ~~ until maybe this week-end. You will love it once you have yours all done.
I'm so glad I'm sticking to my UFO year. I have so many projects completed......but oh so many more to do!
