New Year craft resolutions

Finish what I start?
Not always as easily said as done. I like instant gratification and random inspiration, so I'm easily distracted.
Tidy my raw materials?
The yarn is in two wicker picnic baskets now. The sewing stuff is in my découpaged sewing box. However, the felt, ribbons and fabric scraps would be better off anywhere but the torn carrier bag that my OH got when he bought a coat in Florence last year... The jewellery findings are housed, as ever, in a wooden box that first contained Chinese bowls and spoons. I got it as a Christmas present about 25 years ago and later painted it red.
Learn how to crochet granny squares?
Ummm, I believe this was my resolution last year!

Next year's Christmas card designs

Merry Christmas - I know it's nearly New Year, but I'm planning ahead - this is next year's Christmas card! A coastal Christmas tree made of seaweed with whitish stones for lights/baubles and an odd fronded sponge-like plant/animal for a star on the top. Made in minutes on Deal beach on Christmas Day.

My OH was v keen to make our own cards this year but a last-minute trip shortly before Christmas knocked that on the head (along with a generously decorated Christmas tree and a wreath for the door - I got as far as buying the foam ring...)

Will they be finished by Christmas?

Currently racing to finish knitting a snood and a scarf for Christmas - they're presents. Last year I was casting off on Christmas morning - not recommended!

I had also started knitting garter-stitch dishcloths but the green string (Conran Shop) was v hard on the hands to work with so they're abandoned.

Somewhat more successful is the jingle-bell jewellery: I've made a few pairs of these earrings (photo courtesy of That's Not My Age) cos they take about a minute each. I also made jingle-bell rings for my friend's two daughters.
