Catherine's 2026 aspirations

I cannot believe our blog is so old! Poor 2016, with only one post all year. I love your hood and socks and the silly! It is easy to imagine how much fun you're all having with the kiddos around. Yay!

I have been trying to make a plan for my 2026 sewing projects, but I think I'm overthinking it. Basically, the plan I need comes back to the reason we started this blog in the first place: I want to stop starting new things until I have finished the projects underway. Hopefully the fact that there are many things underway (and the generic "Clothes mending/making" covers a lot of ground, though still focusing on what's already in the closet) will give me the variety I need to not get bored! I have updated the list of my projects accordingly.

I did also start one new thing yesterday that is technically an old thing, so there is the fun for now. When Mom ditched her sewing closet supplies on me, there was this crazy lion needlepoint thing that was partway done. See? 


It has been sitting in a drawer now for ~4 years, and I think it will be a nice soothing thing to work on. Not great for taking on planes, but that's what hedgehog is for! I also don't have all of the colors - I'll have to do a deep dive and see if I have any yarn that's the same weight/appropriate colors, or go order some. Hopefully straightforward!

Watch out, 2026!
