{Stop Pinning, Start Doing} Project Board

stoppinning

After a number of weeks I’ve had a chance to revisit my stop pinning list! Complete this week is the DIY rotating goal list.

 

 

Initially my list was going to be to help me remember upcoming things I needed to do as I’ve noticed I’m a lot more forgetful than I used to be. I solved this problem by hanging a monthly calendar near my computer so I could write plans down as soon as I received confirmation so that negated that idea… then it came to me. I have so many craft projects on the go and I’m always thinking of the next one before finishing the last, why not make a crafty project list. So that’s what I did!

My board isn’t as ‘pretty’ as Rachael’s. I decided not to look at the photo of hers while drawing mine so mine would look like something I’d created, rather than something gorgeous, yet copied. As you can see it holds 12 projects and all spaces are currently full. The embarrassing thing is that I could fill another two of these if I wrote out every single project in waiting, instead I decided to just put the ones actually started up there. Each project has a start month and year on it, and if need be, a deadline.

(After seeing this photo I tweaked some of the patterns a little.. and fixed the ‘J’.)

Hooray for another successful Pinterest project!

    I like this idea but it kind of scares me too! I love to write lists but I also like to be able to hide them if necessary!! – lol what a coward I am!

    This is pure genius! I really need one of these because I’ve got so many half-finished projects I actually can’t actually remember what half of them are! (They’re all squashed away in tubs)
    I think it would also help me to STOP STARTING NEW PROJECTS BEFORE I FINISH SOME OLD ONES OFF!
    Also I love that you’re making projects from pinterest! I want to take part in Stop Pinning, Start Doing!
