I wen through my stack of holday patterns and found way too many to complete. I want to make a homemade gift for everyone in my family (7) plus little things for my quilting buddies and some decorations. I wonder if anyone has any strategies for getting it all done. I seem to jump from one to another and keep looking for new ideas instead of sewing. (LOL)

Choosing projects and completing them are a never ending battle. LOL. I set my goal at having fun and what gets done is great; what does not...there is always next year. Have a great time creating!

I have to set myself up with a schedule and try to stick to if if I want to get everything done I have planned.

I have a folder with ideas, give myself a date and pick. Remaining ideas (and new ones) stay in folder for future use. Figure hours needed for project; multiply by number of gifts; divide by days left till Christmas. This give me the minimum time I should work each day. I try to do that much and more - hopefully much more. I know somethings will interfere and there will be days I don't work.

I have a check-off list up where I can see it. As I finish each person's gift, I label it, put it on the gift shelf and check off the name on the list. Started the gift shelf to keep tract of those gifts bought early in the year. Have been known to find gifts after Christmas.
