As for my 2020 Project goal, I would like to quote my son and say "It was an epic fail" but I will be kinder and a little more supportive and just say, "it was not a success".
I could fill this page with excuses on why I didn't manage to complete the project;
- COVID
- Busy homeschooling
- Family commitments
- I changed sizes during COVID and expect to return to my previous size once life gets back to normal. I don't want to make clothes that won't fit in a year.
But the honest truth is, I am a procrastinator. I thought I had lots of time and then, time got away from me.
I had set out to make a crisscross top, dress pants and a purse. I made the top but the style is not suitable for my body type. I will likely not wear it again.
Not reaching my goal never stops me from making new ones. This year I would like to set the following goals.
- I would like to sew a trench coat. It is something I have been wanting to do for years. I have the fabric (let's hope I have enough of it).
- I want to complete and post on Instagram (@craftycanadianladies) a scrapbook layout each month.
Here is the layout for the month of January. One done, 11 more to go.

I can't wait to see your trenchcoat. Will you be using heavy fabric or lighter fabric?
I'm excited about the new year. 2020 was a year that no one could fully plan for - I finished house projects that I hadn't planned on and didn't finish others that were at the top of the list when 2020 started. On your 2020 project goals blog post from last year, I commented about a quilt I planned to finish for my sister in 2020. Although I made some progress, that goal has carried into 2021. I hope that you will post a photo of your trenchcoat on the blog when it is finished and I hope I can share a picture of my sister's quilt in the comments by that time :) I like the scrapbook layout you completed - looking forward to the next 11!!! :)
Susan T, the fabric I will use for the trench coat is a heavy cotton fabric. I bought it years ago because I loved the fabric - now it's time to do something with it.
Similar to you, I managed to get some items done - taking advantage of a slower schedule but other projects on my list just did not inspire my mojo.
I look forward to seeing your finished quilt and yes, I will post the finished trench coat on the blog (cross my fingers that I get it done).
