I've been asked by a few of you who would like to play along a few questions so I thought I'd do up a FAQ section ;)
Q: I would like to join in but I don't think I have 52 unfinished projects - can I still do it?
A:
Of course! I'm using it as a way of not only getting things I haven't
finished done - but also stuff I haven't started ;) You can put anything
on your list, such as presents you want to make for people or cards or
even Scrapbook pages. I'm focussing mainly on crochet, rag-rugging and
sewing projects but you can use this as an opportunity to get ANYTHING
done.
Q: I have projects that will take more than a week to finish, what do I do?
A: I
have a HEAP of projects that will take more than a week so what I'm
doing is pairing them up with super quick ones that will only take a day
or so to finish, so the rest of the time I can work on the longer
project. This way, I'm still getting a project finished each week.
Q: But it's past week one, can I still join in?
A: Of course! It's never too late to start. If you want you can change it's name to 'Project Get Stuff
Finished' if it makes you feel better ;) Or you can catch up by doing an extra one or two on a different week.

My Project 52 - Week 2
Hi there Crafty Peeps!
I am so excited to say that I managed to finish my first weeks project - even though half the house has been sick (myself included) and I had really only given myself 2 days instead of 7 seeing as I hadn't come up with this whole plan until 2 days before the end of the first week ;)
Previously I might have held tight to those excuses and used them to not get stuff done, but I dug deep and finished Freya's doll - that I had hoped to get finished before Christmas. Luckily she is too young to know any different so I got away with it this time ;) So, here is: I still need to do some work on her hair (I'm hoping to make it to Stitch Club tomorrow and pick a few brains for some help) and I will make her some more outfits of course, but the important thing is that she is FINISHED!!
My UFO for this week is actually the original doll I started for Freya for Christmas, I found the pattern for free online here but as I was making it I thought it was going to be too small so I started the second one from the 'My Crochet Doll' book by Isabelle Kessedjian.
So here is where I had left it when I started the second one. I'm thinking of deviating from the original pattern and mixing it up a bit, so we'll see how it turns out.
