If I tore nothing out of a magazine that I did not wish to keep, and it was in good condition, I added it to the library donation box. I've reduced ten binders of cross-stitch/craft magazines down to three binders of magazines, plus a one-inch stack of projects culled from those I discarded. Not bad!
The "down" side is that I have amassed a small pile of projects to consider for 2013. Most of these are ornaments I can complete in one or two sittings. Others are larger works one friend/family member or another might like. For example, I found a cute ballerina ornament to make for my youngest niece. I found snowmen for the two Snowman Fiends, garden designs two other friends might like, dragons for a couple others, and covered bridge and lighthouse designs for another friend.
Now to organize my project to-do list for 2013 and get crackin'!
I think I'll start with the candy canes...

Good luck with your projects. Looks like fun! I wish I was more creative.
Thanks, Yvonne! I did a bit of crafting today while watching two movies. I did some cording to hang ornaments for a friend (a project I'll share next weekend), and started on the patchwork candy canes. The cross-stitching for one is completely done, just need to do the backstitching, and a third of a second candy cane is done. Should finish the work on both of those tomorrow!
I'm so jealous of your organization skills. I had high hopes of doing some serious organzational type stuff while I was at home. Want to know how much of it got done? You can probably already guess. ;-)
I did nada. Though I did have a fairly decent excuse which I won't get into here.
Thanks, Jana. This was an unplanned purging, but something that needed to be done.
That's a great project. The cleaning out, I mean. Sounds like you needed it.
Are you done with the candy canes now?
Alice: I have finished five of the pathwork candycanes this week, and have switched to a different project.
