Finally finished a UFO!!

I can't believe we are already through the first week of the new year! Time is flying by so fast! A few days ago my friend Carein and I decided that our sewing machines needed a workout, so we thought we'd do a "sew along" with each other for the day. I had this extra fabric left over from my previous tote bag and thought I would do a little something with it. I made another bag, but it's super long and just big enough to fit a large scroll frame. Should be good for trips when I want to take my larger stitching along.

This year I am determined to finish up a few of my UFO's. I started this quaker style heart months ago and just lost interest in it, but since it's a new year and I promised myself I would start trying to get some of those unfinished things done, I pulled it out and got to work. I finished it this afternoon and made it into a cute little pillow for Valentine's Day. The pillow is 18" square so it should make a fairly nice addition to my Valentine's Day decor.

I was so excited to actually finish a UFO that I dug through my UFO bag and found a few other things I'd like to get done this year. I just can't believe how many things I've got started and never finished! I'm dedicating Wednesdays as my UFO days. I'll drop whatever I'm working on and then on Wednesdays I'll work on a UFO. Hopefully this will help me dwindle those unfinished things down and relieve my guilt at starting new projects..LOL

Hope everyone is having a great year so far! Hugs everyone!
