2012: 52 Projects, Week 1
In 2011 I was able to get a number of projects done for gifts, and those were probably some of the highlights of my year. I get so much joy from people enjoying a homemade gift that I made for them. After a year off from taking 365 photos in 1 year, I felt it was time to start a new project. As much as I’d love to do another photo project, I am still short on ideas, at least until we have another family member. My thought was perhaps I could do something once a week rather than every day, and it would be easier. Well, I’m not sure if doing a project a week will be all that easy, but it’s what I came up with. Some projects will definitely take more than a week, but I think I can balance it with projects that will get done in a couple hours. I’m still trying to come up with ideas that I can pick from, but here’s what I have so far. Week 1′s project, make a list! In no particular order:

And that’s what I’ve come up with so far. May add to it later, and I’m up for suggestions.
For 10 years I created realistic miniature horse tack, and dabbled in pastel finishwork. I had to lay down my carving knife and brushes due to arthritis, and have recently picked up a camera instead. Art and horses have always been my 2 greatest loves (besides the hubby, of course), so I combine them whenever I get the chance. I reside in coastal NH with my husband and 2 cats.
What a great list!
I look forward to following your progress!
Wow! You’re going to be working HARD! More power to you for even trying. A lot of those sound pretty interesting. I hope to see some of them when they’re finished. Love to you.
Wow! That’s great! Some of it sounds like fun!
