You know, the one where you start a new project each day from January 1st through the 15th.  If not, you might want to check it out.  Be forewarned, though, it truly is a crazy challenge.  So crazy that I almost took it on and then I thought better of it.  If you saw my WIP list, you&#8217;d understand why I&#8217;m opting out.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I am going to propose my own challenge.  My Not-So-Crazy January Challenge of 2011 is to take 15 finishes from your waiting-to-be-finished pile and finish-finish them.  They can be framed, made into ornaments, sewn into bellpulls, hand-stitched into biscornus, whatever strikes your fancy.  My goal is to clear out that finishing pile in which some pieces have been languishing for years.  If you choose to frame any pieces, you can either complete the framing yourself by the end of January or take them into a framer by the end of January, your choice and either one counts.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to join in with me on the challenge, you will need to post a photo of each of your 15 finishes by the end of January.  I hope that at least one person will take me up on this challenge so that I&#8217;m not alone!If you interested in joining me, please leave a comment with your blog URL so that I can watch your progress.  <\/p>\n<p>I would appreciate mentions of this challenge on other blogs, even if you don&#8217;t take it on yourself.  Thanks!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard of the Crazy January Challenge 2011.
