I love yarn. I can't help myself. The deep rich colors, the soft pastels, the variegated shades and mixtures. If it is yarn, I will like it.
I make a lot of plastic canvas projects...mostly baskets, boxes and coasters. I find it very relaxing. Since I make up some of my patterns as I go and some are so easy that once you do it one time, you never need to look at the pattern again. I can do a coaster in about an hour. Baskets and boxes take longer so I work on them a little just about every evening that I don't have anything else going on.
I have let my projects go for quite a while. I have a bad habit of going gung-ho and then if I have to stop for any length of time, it takes me a while to get going again.
Last night I decided to clean and organize the yarn area of the craft closet. While I was at it, I cleaned out the drawer that has my plastic canvas material. I keep most of my scraps for those times when I need to make something small and can find enough pieces that I can cut it out of without having to use a new sheet. While I was cleaning that out, I saw my assortment of pre-cut shapes I bought last year at Hobby Lobby on sale. I had forgotten about these. I'm going to figure something to do with tall the little hearts for Valentine's day.
I found some projects in the drawer I hadn't finished...for one reason or another. So I'm going to work on everything this week and get some of them finished. One of these little coasters is completed, but the other one only needs stitches around the outer edge. About a 3 minute job at the most.
I started this about a year ago and had forgotten all about it. It is going to be a box to hold Yahtzee pads, dice and ink pens.
This past summer I started this little basket to sit in my bedroom to drop my watch and rings in that I wear the most. I never did get it finished.
I just started this two nights ago and have the top, bottom, one side and part of another side done already. I'll finish it by Tuesday or Wednesday. It's a box for my sister to put on her dresser to keep her bracelets in.
Now all my yarn is organized. All my works-in-progress are in one place with my current project in my craft bag. I'm ready to catch up on things. Please tell me I'm not the only one who has projects laying around that I've never completed. What are your incomplete projects?
