    • Redraft the Granville shirt again. Ponder whether I can bribe LiEr to come to Malibu and help me with fit. I have both sunshine and Nutella.

    My alteration/mend pile is so backed up the kids have outgrown them.

    I LOVE your wallets! And can't wait to see the rest (except for maybe that sweater dress 😝). I'll be working hastily (or maybe my usual pokily) on a tote bag to carry 2 American Girl dolls. The plan is in place (till I change my mind - again)! I don't dare procrastinate any longer. Or maybe I could.....

      Brava, MaryAnne! Last year we handmade ours, and it WAS fun. We don't handmake them every year, so last year was a treat for us.

    Let's see: sew new zippers into 3 jackets, continue refining chopper (mitten) pattern, get back to fitting/drafting swimming shorts for me before yet another summer comes & goes without them, mend children's pants before they are outgrown, finish 2014 Halloween costume for 2015, finish hand-sewing the dratted silk lining into the knitted wool cardi/jacket thing (and hopefully find that it looks and feels as nice in practice as it did in theory), and (hallelujah!) my sweater/jacket liner rehashing went off with only one hitch!
    Uff da. Looks like so much when I write it down... :)

      Jenny: uffda, indeed. Don't put deadlines on any of them so that when you do finish them in, say, 10 years' time, you can say, "Whoa! I'm ahead of schedule!" That said, quite a few of those projects sound like they're almost-done or little-to-do, so don't give up! You'll reach the end of your pile yet!
