Ten little WIPs ...

I’m not sure whether it’s the whisper of fall, the sound of school buses picking up children, or if it’s the upcoming High Holy Days but this feels like the official start of the year more than New Year’s Eve ever really does. For me it triggers the urge to purge, to organize and decorate the house. I’ve started my attack with the studio, in particular the mounting number of WIPs that were stored in the closet. Can you believe how many that I have? TEN, yes ten Works-In-Progress. And if you’ve been reading Turkey Feathers lately, you’ll know that she’s started another round of FWYH (Finish What You Have). The goal is simple - finish at least one of your WIPs before you start a new project.

So taking a cue from a tip in this book, I’ve boxed my WIPs and stored them where I see them every time I enter the studio. A not so subtle reminder that I have to work on them. And if you’re interested, these are the ten WIPs (not in any particular order):

1) Charity Dolls that Rachel and I are making

2) Wall hanging quilt for living room

3) Chenille patchwork jacket

4) Green clutch purse

5) Patti Culea’s elf doll

6) Barbara Willis’ memory box doll

7) Leslie Molen’s Gossip doll

8) Judy Skeel’s Lady Grace doll

9) Jill Maas’ Jude stump dolls

10) Arley Berryhill’s La Femme doll

 So I’ll see how many I can finish in the next month or two. In the meantime I’ll also keep working on the studio.
