I started a Yahoo group. Maybe you'd like to join.

Proverbs 31:13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

So here's the story. My sister-in-law and I were talking a few weeks ago about how we have a habit of starting projects, especially sewing projects, and not completing them. She said she needed a few accountability partners . . . . one thing led to another and alas the group has formed.

Basically, we log in, describe our current project, and set a goal for completing it. We are able to log in as often as we like and let others know how we're progressing (or not) on our project. We are also able to post photos (before, during, and/or after). Projects can be anything from mopping the floor, to sewing new curtains, to starting a garden, to decluttering a closet, to scrapbooking an entire baby album. You name it. If it beautifies your home or makes it more functional, or if it blesses your family in some way, it counts as a legitimate goal. The best part of the group is that we all cheer each other on while we work and "pat each other on the back" when we accomplish something. It's wonderful moral support. It has already helped me tremendously. I have achieved 2.5 goals since the 1st of the year!

Check it out. You may like it.
