quilt for Julia
Clyde plushie for Julia

messenger bag, maybe from cut up felted sweaters
needle roll
backpack for knitting
cushions for patio furniture
And, our space at home needs to be more organized. I would like storage to be the focus of tax return season. Not only do we need more trash cans for the house in general, I need attractive storage for all my fabric and yarn since I use part of the great room for my crafts. I want to clean out the garage so that I can finally park in it. And I need to help Julia organize her room in a way that she could possibly keep it clean if she was so inclined.
Maybe if I can set out a plan that breaks it all down into managable steps then I can make it happen. I'll take my notebook with me to my brother's house this coming week so that I can work on that when boredom sets in.
And of course I have the inevitable resolution of losing weight. I want to focus on the other stuff first. Who knows. If I work hard at the other stuff maybe the activity of doing so will help me achieve the latter. ;-)

Take it easy, darlin', the fiberlove is something you do for fun.
You don't have deadlines or anyone looking over your shoulder to check your work, productivity or method.
I know you're accustomed to having your creativity monitored and controlled in your professional life, but if you treat your hobbies the way you treat your work you run the risk of losing enjoyment of them and possibly burning out.
Take it easy on yourself. There really are no knitting police out there. There's no 'right way' to do it. As for the projects you end up never finishing, they are learning experiences. We all start a project expecting wonderful things, but sometimes discover that a particular pattern or yarn disappoints, or it just doesn't turn you on. It's ok to stop, learn from it, unravel it and move on.
In my opinion, you're doing just fine. By all means try to keep the stash from taking over the house, but you have plenty of other responsibilities in life to absorb your attention.
