Around Christmas I cruised through my Pinterest boards for new craft ideas I definitely want to make this year. I even started a new board to collect those project ideas and suddenly I noticed, that I could collect without much effort 53 projects I really want to come to life. And within an instant the new project was born: 53 craft projects in 2015.
It’s 53 crafty projects because there are 53 weeks this year and one project per week will be definitely manageable. That doesn’t mean, I have to do one every week. I can do two or three a week, if I have the time and motivation to. Thus there can be weeks without one project finished, that will foreseeable be the case around Christmas for example.
It’s an addition to my #365craftingtime project, that is still running. I’m at the moment a little behind with posting, but the challenge is still on. And thanks to my catching up-rule, I haven’t lost one day since the start of the project. The main idea with the new project is to document the process. The documentation was the main reason to name it a project and choose concrete tasks. I want to focus on these little craft projects, because they are important to me. Some because I just need them to decorate our home or to progress with other projects like Project Life. Others are simply on the list to lern something new like sewing. Therefore I don’t have simply „lern to sew“ on my bucket list for this year, but a concrete project that has a start and end point. “Lern to sew” is on my list for years, so I hope this new project will do the trick.
On this page you find an overview about all 53 projects I want to do. As soon as I finish one, I exchange the text picture with a photo of the finished project like I did already with number #10 („Design a calendar“). I hope at the end of the year, this page will be all colorful instead of grey and white, filled with wonderful craft projects.
Do you plan something similiar this year? Maybe we can motivate each other.

Liebe Sabine,
ich bewundere Deine Aktionen sehr! Ich finde es fast unglaublich, was Dir alles einfällt. Und lese ich es dann hier bei Dir, denke ich “Ja klar, prima Idee!”. Einen Plan zu haben finde ich grundsätzlich sehr wichtig. Er ist quasi der rote Faden, an dem man sich entlanghangeln kann. Mein Problem wäre nur, dass ich soweit im voraus nicht planen kann. Ich könnte mich noch nicht festlegen, was ich machen möchte und würde alles aufgrund neuer Einflüsse und Impulse wahrscheinlich zehnmal über den Haufen werfen. Ich muss mal in mich gehen 🙂
LG aus Berlin W*dorf, Heike

Liebe Heike, danke für deinen lieben Kommentar. Es wird sicher nicht einfach werden alle Projekte durchzuziehen, aber da viele schon lange auf meiner Liste stehen, ist es jetzt nur noch der letzte Stupser den ich hoffentlich brauche. Was ist aus deinem Projekt geworden? Machst du jetzt etwas ähnliches? LG aus dem Prenzl Berg, Sabine

Hey Lauren,
the gallery is made with a HTML table. At the moment it will simply stay in this post and updated here too. But maybe I will move it someday to the “crafts” page. And I totally missed blogging and you guys. I had to come back
