The Jillaroo sock pattern that was the 1st installment of the Christmas Gift Yarn Club in 2012 is now on general release - you can buy it on Ravelry or through my etsy store
This week's craft group was a bit sobering for me - not the company - some lovely ladies and a good chat and giggle is always had - but a lady had died and left her crafting projects/items - boxes full as I'm sure we all have kicking around the house... anyway it was all kindly passed onto the group but there were many many UFO's in there which got me to thinking what would happen if I dropped dead tomorrow? - I have umpteen various projects on the go at once - all of which I consider important to finish. How sad to see this lady's unfinished projects sat in boxes all of her ideas & items she wanted to make - I am going to make a concerted effort to organise my projects better and try - ha ha! and do one project at a time in future.
Talking of multiple projects - oops! I bought some lovely cotton fabrics today at the discount table... I am thinking clothing for next Summer for Miss 6...
Oh yes, the boxes were very much like that, weren't they? As fun as it was to go through the things, it did make us all consider our own projects and UFOs. I know that N, several times, commented on how much was left undone. I also wonder how much the lady *did* finish - hopefully there are many people out there who have been blessed by her completed projects.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest thing is my scrapbooks - I can get myself all tied up in knots if I think about what might happen if they are never finished and my girls never have their story recorded...
I just declared today that I am no longer going to buy anything "just because". I am stash-busting this year - fabric and scrapping supplies. - K has put my room on his "make-over" list and I can't think about how I might like to do it up while it's still so full of stuff :).
ps. Cinnamon is one of the Spice Girls! I made Paprika for A and am about to start it for S.
