Thanks for the poem, Amma. Love it! I, too, do not have time to make all the gifts by the time I get the inspiration of what I want to make. I don't usually make new year's resolutions, but this year I am making one to make a gift a month for Christmas. Actually, I will have to make more than that. I have 10 grandkids and their parents to sew for. I want to make the guys flannel shirts for next year. Good luck to us all! :lol:

AMMA - that's for the poem - you're so talented.
QUILTING CAT - 11 projects for 2011 sounds like a reasonable challenge - I'll have to make my list and post it on my signature line somehow so I can see it and get off the computer and sew!
JILL - sometimes we have to PARENT OURSELVES and not do our fun hobbies (like playing outside when we were kids) until our work (our bedrooms when we were kids) is completed. Seriously! I have to do that sometimes. It even makes me work quicker! Try it! Perfectionism wains when you're in a hurry! :) For me, that's a good thing!

LOL I use to make New Year's resolutions 'to not start any new projects' until I got some of my WIP's done. I did this for several years, promising to work on my WIP's & never did. I finally got frustrated & my next resolution was "to work on anything new that tickled my fancy & create as much havoc as I could in my sewing room" That one worked for me!

I love this idea and the poem as well. This time last year I was scrambling to make gifts and wearing myself out. Had great plans for getting ahead on this Christmas and in March was diagnosed with breast cancer. Needless to say my sewing fell by the wayside. I am doing great now but have learned to make each day count. Don't put off things you want to do for someone. Do it now. You may not have tomorrow.
