>> OH, NUMBER FO"UR is a GREAT ONE for me, too.  Just yesterday, I spent the 
>> entire day looking through books and magazines - looking for one pattern 
>> I know I have, for a coat of super bulky yarn.  Did I find it????  Hell, 
>> NO!
>>
>> Instead, I did as you said in your #4 goal...I found a different coat 
>> pattern in a mazazine and I ordered the yarn to do THAT one, since I 
>> cannot find the other one I have been searching for.  OK, I know, when 
>> the yarn arrives and AFTER I start knitting the coat, the one I really 
>> wanted to knit will show up, just as you said.
>>
>> I am organizeing all by books and magazines into plastic containers that 
>> look like cup cake containers. The books and magazines fit into them 
>> perfectly. Then, they stack on my shelves one on top of the other very 
>> nice. So I am started on your #4 project right now.  I will continue 
>> doing this until I have gathered them all in and have ordered my chaos. 
>> For the loose things, I am putting them into binders.  One binder for 
>> each kind of item: Shawls/Shrugs;  Coats/jackets;  hats/mittens/ 
>> scarves/  Kids Things;  and Misc.
>>
>> Between the binders and the containers, I should have these things under 
>> control  pretty soon.

>>> Well, I have a few that I am determined to accomplish even if it kills 
>>> me. LOL
>>>
>>> 1. Attend my monthly Webb of Hope meetings each month instead of once or 
>>> twice a year so I can turn in my items monthly so my stack doesn't turn 
>>> into a mountain of items.  I'm trying to manage the yarn in, projects 
>>> out idea a little better.  They want to load me up with yarn and I have 
>>> a tendency to not go back to the meeting until I have finished with the 
>>> yarn they gave me. I missed the December meeting because it was 
>>> canselled due to snow and the last time I went was in the spring.  I am 
>>> going to go in January and turn in nearly two full grocery paper bags of 
>>> baby throws, toddler sweaters, childrens hat/scarves, hats, adult 
>>> hat/scarves and ear warmers.
>>>
>>> 2. Plan household decorating projects for our cabin.
>>>
>>> 3.  Find and knit a decent Liberty Cap pattern for my husband.  I found 
>>> one that called for a 0 needle, but I've only used a 2 and no smaller. 
>>> It also calls for a provisional cast on because you will be making a 
>>> perminent fold up brim.  Hmmm, needless to say, I'm still looking at 
>>> that pattern.  He found one on the internet for me, but when he was 
>>> reading it over, it was a copy of the authintic Liberty Cap, but it was 
>>> for the American Girl Doll series.  I could probably convert that one to 
>>> an adult size.
>>>
>>> 4.  I want to put all of my crafting books, magazines, booklets, 
>>> pamflets and loose pattern sheets together in an organized manner on one 
>>> set of shelves.  I absolutely hate to look for a pattern I know darn 
>>> well I have, but finding it is near to impossible.  Then once I have 
>>> decided to do something else and am halfway through that project, well 
>>> well, it just happens to pop up.  Looky there, where the blue blazes 
>>> were you when I wanted you?
>>>
>>> 5.  I'm looking for a cloth rag doll pattern for the body, at least 12 
>>> inches long.  I want to make rag dolls and use scrap yarn for their 
>>> clothes and hair.  I have tons of scrap yarn with the web of hope left 
>>> overs and I do make use of it, but I'd like to do something different 
>>> that I can also give back to them.  I also keep clippings and snippets 
>>> of yarn and throw them into a bucket.  I'll use them for the doll's 
>>> stuffing.
>>>
>>> 6.  Last, but certainly not least, I want to totally finish my crafting 
>>> room.  We have been here in the cabin for 5 years this month and that 
>>> room has been designated the craft room since before it was built, but 
>>> not one craft item has been made there nor has all of the craft, hmmm, 
>>> stuff, made its way there.  2011 is going to be the year of final 
>>> completion!  Yeah right, I'm trying not to hold my breath!
>>>
>>> Well, I guess there is always 2012 to look forward too?
