YOP Plans Week 1
On Ravelry there is a group of makers who began a Year of Projects (YOP) 13 years ago. The "year" runs from July-July, though you can also follow the traditional Jan-Dec year. The participants post a weekly update on their plans. I have been following and reading the YOP posts for over a year. This year is the year I would like to begin and join in the fun. I love me a good list of items I can check off! The first week is a list of all the ideas/projects they hope to accomplish. Not all the ideas/projects have to be fiber arts related (at least I hope not) since I will be adding in my aspirations for sewing, cross stitch, cricut and canning.
Here are my plans (hopefully I am doing this right:)
