In with the OLD...and unfinished!

I have sooo many unfinished projects! I really need to get my head in the game. Today I dug out a project that I began years ago.

Shortly after my brother told me that he and his girlfriend were expecting a baby, I chose a cross stitch kit that I would make for him/her. You know, those kits that have a design and you can stitch the baby's name, DOB, weight, length, etc.

Well, I worked on it for a long time off and on, but never quite finished it...Did I mention that their baby, my beautiful goddaughter Kaylee, is going to turn 2 years old in two weeks?!! Yeah, I am THAT bad!

I dug it out today, and there isn't a lot left to do before it's finished. I hope to finish it by the end of the week.

I still have to stitch some french knots for the bears eyes. It looks quite freaky eyeless!!

I stitched the same pattern for a class mates of mine about 6 years ago. I raced to finish it and I think I got it done in less than a week. That of course was before DVRs and I didn't have to share my crafting time with tv time! :-)

Don't worry little mama! Nina takes a while to finish stuff sometimes, but never fear. I will be done soon!! Muah!

I will eat your brain!

Ever since I started feeling ill and shacked up in my bedroom with a blankie, my laptop, and my debit card, I have buying things like there's no tomorrow. Okay, maybe not tons, but enough to question whether or not the codeine in my cough medicine had eaten away at my brain.
One of my purchases was a pattern by Christen Haden AKA NeedleNoodles for some crocheted baby bibs. MONSTER BIB!! Okay, maybe not exactly monster per say, but funky nonetheless.



Complete with stainless steel snap closures. I started the bib and finished it....IN THE SAME DAY!! what? yep, you heard me!!

Sorry about the poor lighting control. The yarn colors look different from picture to picture. No doubt this will be something that I will have to work on!


I like it!

Wuzzah!

After much discussion (with myself) I have come to the conclusion that I really need to get my butt in gear finishing some of the many craft projects that I have started and never got around to completing. They vary in craft, from cross stitching to crocheting. I think I have a few paintings here and there that I never finished too!!

I have tried to motivate myself by pumping up the fact that the more I finish, the faster I can officially open my Etsy store. That obviously wasn't working, so more desperate measures had to be taken.

No more buying craft making materials until I have completed two projects!!!

NO MORE!!!

....fast forward to last Sunday...I find myself at JoAnn taking advantage of there Coupon Commotion. There were no completed projects, yet I had half a cart full of loot. I got an awesome ink pad petal thing...if I could only find the stamps that I intended to use it with...
