Or maybe I should call this post my procrastination list. The things I did because I didn’t want to do the things I needed to do.
To-Do List:
- Recover ottoman
- Clean basement
- Paint basement walls
- Reattach insulation to floor joists/ceiling in the basement
- Clean out walk-in closet
- Finish Bacardi Cardi
- Sew seams in Sunny Day top
Did-Instead List:
- Knit 2 Kindness Shawls (one, two)
- Knit Ka’ana Shawlette
- Knit top-down cardigan
- Sew travel bag for GPS
- Knit four face/washcloths
- Knit the Accidental Shawl
- Recover ottoman – Yes! I can check this off the above list!!!
- Repaint outside door from the garage
- Repaint front door and trim
Ok – so I actually did one thing from the To-Do list. I finally finished recovering the ottoman that went with one of the chairs that I reupholstered last summer. The only reason that I didn’t do it last year was that it is just too cold in the basement during the winter months to do that kind of work. More on this project another day.
The face/washcloths were a gift along with some handmade soaps from West Virginia to my daughter-in-law that we met for the first time while on our vacation. I forgot to take pictures of the ones I gave to her but they were similar to these. Picot Swirl Cloth in the small size.
Repainting the outside doors were always in the back of my mind so when I saw that the paint was on sale for 40% off, I had to jump at that and buy some. More on this project another day, too.
So do you follow your To-Do List or do you find something else to do because you don’t want/need to do them?
I have to write a list so I can cross it off! Will you share the washcloth pattern? They are beautiful.

I got away from my list. I need to find it again. Here’s the link to the washcloth pattern.

I usually make my list and write about it here to help keep me focused on it! But your list is a killer! I might have gone with the one you did instead, lol
