What on earth is going on down here?!!
That's what the MOML said when he came down the stairs yesterday afternoon.

| Here's why!! |
I was in the midst of a sort out :-)
I've set myself some pretty strong goals for the year, signing up with Gail's PHD and Cheryll's WOOFA, and still wanting to do more.
I really felt I needed a sort out so that the projects I want to work on are at the forefront in The Palace and those that are taking a backseat are stored tidily away.
Several hours later I had sorted enough to tidy my brain and my room. I now have clear floor space, I've reorganised a few shelves, and the wardrobe, set up a planning folder, I've reboxed projects and so on.
I have, all in one place, my PHD projects. Here they are all stacked up waiting for a year of creativity and finishes. I discussed all these ones back *here*. There's 12 (gulp) in all.

| 12 finishes for 2020!! |
Wouldn't be be great though if they were all finished as well!
Pieces of Time —
This wasn't even on my radar but Joanne put it on her list. As we both started ours at the same time, I thought I should pull it out!
Row By Row quilt —
Flash Cat Medallion —
Omigosh quilt —
Believe it or not, I have a fair few projects that need attention and I am hoping that my approach this year will help me to refine that list. I'm listing both lists on my sidebar.
I must do a sing out to Yvonne of Quilting Jetgirl who organised the 2020 planning party which I linked up to in December. The process, although incomplete, really got me thinking and planning. She also arranged for some sponsorship for the planning party and I'm thrilled to be the winner (randomly selected) of the Aurifil collection prize! As Aurifil is a thread I already enjoy using, I'm very happy about that! Thanks Yvonne, and thanks Aurifil!
Okay, that's enough list making and tidying to make my head ring :-) I'm off now to sew-sew-sew ♥
'til next time,
happy stitches,
All lovely projects. Great job of organizing.
ReplyDeletedoesn't it just feel neat to have accomplished so much! all that organizing can feel good and now you know where everything is and can jump in and work
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely things to do!!
ReplyDeleteI will have to have an Organize when we get home.. can't say I am looking forward to that!
Once charity moves out of my house. I have a room to use again as my sewing area on the main floor. Then the real work of organizing will begin.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a load of sorting....and a load of projects....I look forward to seeing them move forward.
ReplyDeleteI saw you’d won the Aurifil and I thought YAY I know her! I had a giggle at all the acronyms at the beginning of your post one I have not heard of, WOOFA and one I had to think about for a moment, MOML :-) I’ll be watching for finishes galore!
ReplyDeleteLovely projects. And I agree, organisation is important to getting things done. Nothing like a good tidy and sort out.
ReplyDeleteGot to love lists, writing down your projects makes them seem official, I always think. Lucky you, winning that gorgeous thread, it will soon be put to good use.
ReplyDeletewell done you and it makes a huge difference having a bit of organisation and tidy up... lovely projects to work on....

Congratulations on the win! Well done too with the sorting, now you can see, sew, sew!! Y9u have some wonderful projects to be working on there Raewyn.
ReplyDeleteGoodness you've been busy. I need you to come to my house and organize all my projects. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt sure is nice to be able to work when things are tidy and organized. Your year of sewing certainly won't be dull and just think of what you will accomplish. Congrats on the win!
Great collection of projects - congratulations on having a really thorough tidy up in your special room.
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely projects! I hope you motivate me to finish my Pieces of Time quilt!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO! There is something very satisfying about reorganising. Yesterday I finished piecing the Tilda fabric BOM that i havent worked on for about a year, and I was so pleased to keep pulling out the pre cut pieces that i needed out of my project box! A good start to organising last year, and a big pat on the back!
ReplyDeleteIt feels so good to have a tidy. You have some beautiful projects awaiting your attention Raewyn xx
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a list of things to do!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will make great progress.
Such a great list to work on.. Look forward to seeing your progress on them...
ReplyDeleteGood for you! You're getting a lot of things done and organized. It's going to end up being so productive - I wish it was me. I like how you've divided the unfinished projects into categories. Mine are spread all over the place. You've given me some motivation to fix that right away. Hope you can find lots of time to sew......
ReplyDeleteFinally figured out MOML! LOL!! I am good at lists, but not so much at completion of them. As we age, Dr. appointments keep getting in the way. But I can cheer you on! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteRaewyn!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have your projects cut out "no pun intended" for yourself this year. So many beautiful pieces. Isn't nice to have things all organized and all! I cleaned and organized my stash and work area a couple of days ago, and now, every time I'm done with something, I tell myself to "put it back". I guarantee that it won't be too long before I have to reorganize again! By the way! I love the picture of all your goodies! Makes me want to be right there looking at all the great stash! Have a great rest of the week.
Raewyn - I heard from Sue that Flat Stanley is heading your way. Thanks for hosting him! You have an amazing set of projects lined up! Impressive!
ReplyDeleteSuch great variety in your project list, there will always be something fun to stitch! Sounds like a good plan to have separate lists for finishes and "just make progress" for the year.
ReplyDeleteI love the Omigosh quilt, but have finally accepted that I will probably never make it.
You’re definitely planning to succeed this year. It sounds like having an organised sewing Palace will also help you to have an organised sewing head. Good luck with all your projects.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so satisfying to have a sort out before embarking on goals. Good luck with all your projects x
