To Do or Not to Do

In the name of organization and accountability I thought I would make a list of a few projects I hope to will accomplish before Christmas. Obviously, it would be wonderful to get more done than the following but I don't want to set myself up for failure!
To Do List
1. Paint and spruce up bedside tables
2. Make new pillows for couch
3. Finish bedspreads & bed-skirts for both beds
4. Knit a sweater
5. Knit mittens
6. Surprise sewing project
7. Secret knitting project
8. Make a plan for the backyard
9. Sew two dresses for work

I ask Crispin if she was going to help me with the list and got this response
