As I tried to figure out what to write to close out my blog for 2010, I realized that I did not have enough fabric finishes to fill up a photo collage, like so many others were doing. Was it because I hadn't finished anything or because I hadn't kept track? I think it may be a little of both.
But I haven't learned how to do all of that fancy stuff, like photo collages that are links. Then I saw the index page that Elizabeth at Such A Sew and Sew made to log her finishes last year. I realized that a list that links to the finishes, as I post them on my blog, made perfect sense to my list crazy brain. I am all about lists. I make lists for everything and I even have a list of my lists.
She generously offered the use of her button and gives instructions on how to make a link back to the index to post on your blog. Thank you so much Elizabeth. I am sure that I could have thought of something so profound yet so simple, if I wasn't busy with all of my lists.
So here goes.

November - Beading Projects - This is my new favorite obsession. I hesitated to add them to this list, but I realized that they are part of my creative productivity and thus should be chronicled here.
