My 2008 Goals

• Use more fabric from my stash than I buy or receive!
  YES! Used 69.1m more than I bought. The stash is still large, but I am gaining some control on it.
  
• Don't create anymore UFOs and finish some of those filling my sewing room.
  MOSTLY! One of my current projects is getting close, but I just haven't had the time to finish it and its been months... I did complete 5 UFOs, one that was over 10 years old.
  
• Sew for myself as well as my family
  YES! Most months I sewed something for me.
  
• Complete at least one project for my husband
  NO! Oops... didn't sew anything for him - so sorry... still thinking of a project.
  
• Organize my traced patterns
  SOMETIMES! I get organized, then I trace & use many more patterns and don't get them put away
  

Goals for 2009

• Sew mostly from Stash
• Sew for me
• Start Christmas sewing before Nov 1st

Stats for 2008

With only one month of sewing left in the year, I thought I should total my stats for this year... So far I have used 110.2m but bought 60m. I have completed 135 projects including 4 UFOS, and as of the end of November only had 4 projects on the go, although one is quickly becoming a UFO. Hopefully after Christmas I will finish the black Highland Dance Vest that is 50% complete.

Looking back at my goals set in my first post of the year, I haven't done too bad... The only thing I've failed miserably at is organizing all my traced Ottobre patterns. And I haven't sewn for my husband. Doubt I'll get something sewn before Christmas for him, but maybe...

Tonights projects completed:
