Elegant shades of muted greys

Or dryer lint?  I'm thinking dryer lint.  Or like I've been meticulously saving cat hair with the intent to make a cat sweater.

You'll notice a new feature on the left-hand side bar.  Unfinished Projects.  I think I talked about doing this a while back and, as I am wont to do, I promptly forgot about doing it. 

I must be feeling the need for organization today. 

So basically it is this:  I will have a new category called Unfinished Projects that I will make a concentrated effort to complete.  Then I can start a new category called Finished Projects.  Isn't that a novel idea?  Finishing something?

If you want to see my original posts they are here:

Apron
Christmas Table-topper
Crazy Quilt Square
Embroidered Pillow
Morning Glory Table-topper
Table Runner
Two Color Quilt Challenge
Valentine Table-topper
Yo Yo's

I will work on them in no particular order, just as the mood strikes me.   And with the exception of the Yo Yo quilt – which I will NEVER finish and my great grandchildren will have to sell my box of loose yo yo's at an estate sale – I will not begin any NEW projects until I have knocked these off my list.

Except for the scarf I just started this morning and will add to the list later.

Now I'm feeling kind of nervous and twitchy about saying no new projects.  I may have to amend that to new project only when I complete one of the unfinished ones first.

So any particular project you want to see me work on first?

I seemed to have forgotten I have a blog.  Sorry for the unexpected break.  I'm on a project that requires odd hours – I have to meet with my contempories in China (teleconferences, lest you think I'm in China) so I'm on calls from 5:00am until 7:00pm and I haven't been able to sort a schedule out of it all.

It also means I don't have time for anything fun or creative so what's there to blog about anyway? 

My plans for this weekend are to finish the machine applique on the tabletopper and to start a silk ribbon embroidery sampler.   Maybe do some experimental baking.

Hopefully things will be a little more exciting around here next week.

 

I was giving birth to this fine young man.   It's been 22 years of funny, irreverant, sweet, wackiness.   He is kind, responsible, unique (!), handsome and very much his own person.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!
