Well, its been a while since I posted on this blog!
But, I have not forgotten you, dear 99unfinishedprojects!
In the last year, I've taken up sewing, and picked up a Singer sewing machine and a Singer serger. I've made some various things including a skirt for Coffeegoddess, tag blankets for a new granddaughter Hailey, and a handful of aprons in different designs.
On the unfinished projects list goes two sets of baby blocks (for stacking, squeezing, and throwing). Im making one for a coworker and one for Hailey. I started these blocks maybe 6 months ago, and stalled, so onto the list of unfinished projects they go!
I also have fabric for skirts and dresses for Coffeegoddess, so those projects go on the list as well.
Now, the entire reason for the sewing machine was to do quilting, and I have fabric and have started a day-and-night quilt. That project is stalled as I have a ton of other sewing projects that jumped in front of it, but soon very soon I'd like to return to the reason sewing came into the project list at all: a quilt.
My brother and I enjoy spending a Saturday afternoon rummaging through craft stores, following that up by meeting at my house for a beer or two, while we work on projects. He's mostly a cross-stitcher, so that's what we tend to do when we hang out on these Saturdays. He's working a pretty large lighthouse piece, and is working vintage christmas ornament patterns as well. I've been mostly working a moon fairy, or a cardinal piece for Coffeegoddess. I'm adding those, and a couple of other cross-stitch projects to the unfinished list.
We have started remodeling the main house, so far limited to paint and molding trim work. But, we have a kitchen and bathroom in sore need of updating. Coffeegoddess has contracted for most of the windows to be replaced by e-star vinyl double pane windows, which really cuts down on the noise and seems to help with climate control as well. There are 4 remaining windows to do, but progress there is stalled until I get the tile out of the window enclosures, so the new windows will not be installed over the tile. That goes on the project list.
Okay that's probably adequate for now... in the next few days I'll take photos and make up the project entries for these new projects, and clean some old projects out that are either finished or abandoned.
