So excited for today. Planning and and thinking about what I want to accomplish in the next 52 weeks makes me tingly all over. So many dreams and lofty ideas of what will/could happen. Here is kind of a snapshot of what I have in mind.
Yes, it looks just like the way I laid out my list last year. But, this works for me and I see no reason to change it. As you look it over, you will see that this year I have added what I am hoping to do in each area.
LEGEND
COMPLETED
IN PROGRESS
FROGGED
KNIT
MAK Gnome 4/20/24 -
Grammie Blanket 11/1/25 -
RCR 6/11/26 -
I truly want to make all three of these WIP's disappear this year. One of my plans is to make more RCR socks. I also want to make more NICU preemie hats and use up the DK yarn I purchased for those last year. There is also have quite a bit of Cotton Dishcloth yarn that needs to be used up. Oh My! So much yarn and so little time!
CROCHET
Lego Blanket 11/1/25 -
Mercy! The Lego Blanket is truly my nemesis. I would like to complete it before Christmas of 2026 and get it out of my house! I am sure the recipient will be happy to get it before cold weather sets in this year.
Prayer shawls are big time on my radar this year. When JoAnn's went belly up, I purchased copious amounts of Caron Simply Soft just for prayer shawls. I want to try and have one on the go at all times.
PUZZLE
Knitting Gnomes 6/24/26 -
Goodness, This area is scary. I can not believe I still have over 15 puzzles waiting to be done. I had to get a larger puzzle board for the puzzle that is in progress. I think I am now able to handle any size puzzle with no issue.
LEGO
Hubby is working on his lego right now. I only have 2 more builds to make and will be happy to wait until his is completed. There are still lights to put on 2 of the ones we have completed so I will focus on doing that this year.
SEWING
I have no sewing plans yet. Most of what I seem to be doing is alterations for family members. So, don't expect much happening here this coming year.
READING
Home for the Homicide 6/28/26 - 7/4/26
The Songs That Could Have Been Sung 7/4/26 -
As you can see, I have already completed a book for this YOP. Since getting my Kindle Paperwhite, I am really enjoying reading daily. I get 99% of my books from the Libby app. They are free and she always has something of interest for me to read. Reading gets done every night when I go to bed.
CROSS STITCH
Madonna and Child 8/7/20 -
Madonna and Child 6/18/24 -
Well.........This is embarrassing! I don't know if I even put in 10 stitches last year. With my right wrist giving me fits, it is hard for me to hold onto the Q-Snap frame while I stitch with my left hand. Soooooo, I just ordered a q-snap frame holder that you sit on. I found it on Etsy and it was on sale! Now, I have no excuse not to pick up these two projects and put some time into them! I have a couple other X stitch kits to do once these are done. Yup, need to get busy on these.
DIAMOND ART
Cross with Wings 10/9/25 -
Why oh Why have I not finished this? Well, I normally work on it on the same craft table we do our lego builds on. That table has been in use with lego builds for a year. There are also MANY more diamond art pictures waiting in the wings to be worked on. I might need to rearrange some things so I can get back to diamond art too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That sums up what I have planned. Of course it is all subject to change too.
I don't know who it was but, someone talked about having a game type spinning wheel and would put the different categories/projects on it and then spin it to find out what project was going to be worked on that day. Maybe that would help me manage my indecision when I sit down to craft.
So, these are my thoughts. How well will I follow them? No clue, but it will be fun to keep track.
