Craftster.org has a craftalong section where people list 50 crafts they want to do in the coming (present) year and then you can check them off as you go along.
I figured it would be easier to keep track of them here as well than just on a forum that will eventually grow to be over 500 pages long.
So my goal is to not only update when I finish projects but also blog a lot of them so wish me luck…
Here is my list for 50 project ideas for 2012
