I wanted to continue with a list of Personal Projects, to work on during the same time period that the creative Year of Projects runs on my blog.
 

This will be my 2nd YOPP and sharing it here will hopefully keep me on track and add a bit of accountability. I will record my progress on the garden list in my Garden Diary posts, the others will come under Other News on my Sunday posts, or possibly have their own posts.
