Hustle buns

This is what my brother's little league coach would say to the team as they came in from the field. I don't know why it has stuck with me, but it is perfect to describe the end of year crunch that inevitably precedes the holidays. Today there are 100 days left in the year. I know, right? Where did the time go. There is this great link up/support group (ha) over at Kelsey Sews that I think will be fun! It's called the 100 Day Hustle and will be a great way to stay motivated to finish up projects by the end of the year.

I've been lucky enough to have cleared a lot of wips off my plate recently, so most of my list is going to be new projects that I want to get done or in some cases just started.

Hand stitching:

Modern Medallion quilt - hand quilting

Embroidery hoop kit - start

Yarn work:

Portland cowl - finish

Aidez sweater - knit enough to know if I want to keep going

scrap yarn blanket for donation to animal shelter - start

Temair throw - finish already! (sew motifs together)

At the machine:

Covered bead necklace for me - start & finish

Stuffed animal for baby girl - start & finish

Garment bag - finish

Riding boot bag - start & finish 

Amsterdam quilt top - start

Baby quilt for Anna - start, finish by February

Flannel pjs for me - start & finish

Voile/flannel scarf - start & finish (Xmas)

Apron - start & finish (Xmas)

Tote for Samara - start & finish (Xmas)

Pencil roll up for Jasmine - start & finish (Xmas)

Laminated cotton tote for barn - start & finish (Xmas)

This is pretty ambitious, but I think I might get through most of it since a lot are smaller projects. Check out the linky, add your list, this'll be great. Here we go! 100 days and counting.
