Crafting Journal
Have you ever considered keeping a journal of all the major projects you make?? You could take pictures of the item, then put them into a photo album with the information about the item. The information to write down would be, the name of the pattern, where the pattern came from, the list of materials used in the project, how long it took to make, the date you started the project and when you finised it, and then who you gave it to and when. And the special occasion as to why it was given. If you keep all this information, then future generations will have a better sense of who you were. Keep it with the family geaneology information. I may start to do this myself for significant projects that I make and give.
