I have chosen a word for the year. The word is finish. I hope to use this word when making decisions in all areas, not just when it comes to sewing. I want to focus on finishing the things I start. Finish that book I started reading or that letter I began writing or the plans I was making to invite someone over or finish organizing that closet.
There are many verses in the bible that use this word. I hope to focus on memorizing a few of them.
John 17:4 Jesus said "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."
I am sharing several pictures of projects that I hope to accomplish in the next few months. I am not sure how much time I will have to work on my sewing but I will make every effort to complete what I can. I will link my post with the 2018 Finish Along. I appreciate the encouragement the finish along provides.

I like the word! We could all use it.
ReplyDeleteWow! They are all so lovely! And it looks like you've got several that could be finished very soon.
ReplyDeleteLofty goals indeed! I wish you all time you need to finish all those projects. I like the idea of making Christmas cushion covers with those Christmas trees. That's such an easy block I think I'll be copying that idea! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteA great variety of projects, I hope you will achieve some wonderful finishes. I love the last project especially! Thank you for participating in the finish-a-long!
ReplyDeleteSuperb word for the year. You have nice projects to work on.
