A lovely Year.. to Finish!

No, I'm not ready to end 2013!! hehe .. As mentioned last post I have entered A Lovely Year of Finishes .. I am excited to do this.. Not only will it motivate me to finish some long lost projects I have collected , but to   expand my sewing skills and learn how to quilt..a small lap quilt.. SOMETIME this year I will make a quilt top! I will ................I will. My mom is the quilter in this family and I want to at least continue the tradition . I use to help my Grandma tie the little yarn bits on the quilts the old fashion way of "quilting" the blocks down. I don't even know if I said all that right LOL
I am going to start with making a purse.. I need a new one..again.. Yes I am girl, I have to have many many purses!!!
I decided to do the Island Bag tote from Ala Mode pattern. Actually I will do 2! The fabric is some fun stuff I bought for a custom Kindle case awhile back and needed to use it up.. Tomorrow I'm going fabric shopping to get lining and my second choice of fabrics.. 
I think there is still time to join this fun sew along! Come ooooooon!! DO EEEETTTTTT!!!
Oh I went to see The Hobbit.. LOVED IT!
