Sometime things go as planned and sometimes they don't. This was a don't month but not a total failure.
There seems to be a vicious cold going around our area and both Chris and I caught it. For me it's been the entire month so I did not finish 3 project like I wanted. A cold doesn't put you totally down (except for 4 days) but it does sap your energy. That meant that I wasn't in the mood to stand at the longarm. Instead I decided to get working on my Christmas postcards. I finished 2 of 3 sets and I consider that a big accomplishment. The third set will be done this weekend. I don't track postcards are part of my project tracking. That would really get things out of hand.  My only finish for the month was this ornament kit and, honestly, I'm thrilled and calling November a big success. I also didn't start anything new so that's good too! Here are my numbers: Starting UFO 19 Finished YTD 15 (Goal 11) Started YTD 13 (Planned 6) Ending UFO 17 (Goal 14) Veterans YTD 31 (Goal 40) So I'm down 2 for the year so far and I have serious hope to finish 2 projects in December. Both are easily completed. That would get me down to 15 at year end, one short of my goal. Maybe I can find some other small UFO to finish to get to my end game.
Regardless, I'm better that I was when I started tracking and had something like 28 UFO projects! Tracking my projects is really helpful for me so I'll keep it going in 2018. If I can get this list to less than 10 I'd be incredibly happy. How have you done on your projects? You are welcome to link up or leave a comment.

Almost all of my UFO's are finished tops so I don’t worry too much about them but I didn’t do as well this year as I would have liked.

I think I must be in a big minority because I really don't have UFO's in the true sense of the word. I pretty much always have two projects on the go - one in the sewing room and one for in front of the tv at night. Beyond that, there's nothing lurking that could be classed as a UFO. I think living in an apartment, in confined quarters, has made me more apt to start and finish without setting things aside. Now the 'to do' list is a whole 'nother matter!!

You've been doing so well with your projects! I've been running hot and cold all year. Accomplished a lot early in the year, then from July to October almost nothing. In November I started and finished several small projects (wall hanging and place mats). Then this week alone I've started cutting out four new quilts, two are queen size! What am I thinking??? Suddenly got my mojo back I guess. lol 12/2/2017 07:06:32 am
I didn't finish any UFOs - but I did finish every project that I started in November. So that counts for something. (Oops, except the fabric on the loom - but I don't count that in the UFOs.)

Not much progress in November - 1 quilt binding finished (was hoping for 3) and 1 new project which was finished today, so I'll count it as completed next month. December may not be much better with all the holiday festivities!!

I had a good November although I had new unplanned starts rather than completing any UFOs. Here is my year so far: Comments are closed.
