December: Lovely Year of Finishes ~ Goal Setting Party

December, December how did we get here?

Welcome to the last month of 2013.

It's the last link up for this year, and wow it's been a lovely year of finishes!

~~~

Like many people I know this is a busy month.
I'm going to be distracted by all the pretty things.




I'm going to choose a simple project, I'm going to cut up out my Violet Craft Madrona Road fabrics for my Lazy Sunday by May Chappel.

After all this cutting I'll be excited to throw the pieces into a bag (per strip size) and go random crazy!  No planning out this beauty! I'm going to let go.  Well as much as I can.

But my goal by the end of the month (year) is to have the fabrics cut, which means a little cleaning of the sewing area first - sigh.

~~~

So now it's your turn!

What one item will you choose to do for December?

You have two requirements to be entered into the prizes this month.

1. Link-up {on this post} the first 7-days of the month

and

2. Link-up in the last 7-days of the month.

Add your blog post or flickr photo (with appropriate descriptions) to the linky party below.
Please grab a button or link back to Melissa  and I so other people can join in the fun!

 **Please note, the linky party is the same here and over at Melissa , so there is no need to enter twice **

 For those unsure of how to link up go check out our Q&A Page for A Lovely Year of Finishes – there are instructions on how to link up from a blog and from Flickr.

Grab a button from my sidebar and spread the LOVE!

Oh yeah and there are prizes this month (as always!), here is what our fantastic sponsors are offering.

This is the last of the "regular" link-up's. 

January 1-7 Melissa and I will be holding the 2013 year in review party with additional prizes, for those that finished 6 or more months worth of your goals.

Reviews pending for Craftsy

I love to learn.

The Internet is just so fantastic as there is so many free things out there. There are moments when I go and purchase things for convince.

This is why I have Craftsy. 

I know there are other sites out there but I'm all about this one.

It's a one-stop shop for me.

I've {cough} purchased a few of these classes and was going to take advantage of the super sale going on now.  This usually happens this time of year. :)

I've purchased a few so-so classes so I'm a little gun shy even with a super sale going on.  Money is money people. :)

Being on the awesome Internet I started searching for reviews and was in awe!

I've super appreciated the candor of people and thought I would start reviewing some classes myself that may help some others along the way. 

I've started a new page of all the classes I own {hanging head in shame}!

But it's a reference when I complete reviews.  You can find my Craftsy Class Reviews here

I've noted the Shanna's must haves already.

*Yes these are affiliate links, but all opinions and recommendations are my own*

I hope to populate all of these by the end of 2014.  Whoop!

November: A Lovely Year of Finishes ~ Mid-month link-up

Being gone for a week has taken a lot out of me.  

I loved my trip.

I ate.
I learned about a whole new area.
I went to Sew Expo.
I visited and talked for 2 days straight with a high school girlfriend I haven't seen in 19 years.

I'm starting to catch up.

November: Lovely Year of Finishes ~ Goal Setting Party

How are we already in November?

Well 2 months in a row I've not met my goal.

I'm not giving up.  I've actually accomplished a lot - just not what I've set out to do.

Because I'm gone traveling for the first whole week, my goal will be small.

I want to finish up my Noodlehead Super Tote.

It's made from the home decor material 

I seriously love this bag already!
