    Hi,

    Can I join in please. My life at the moment seems to be one long list of unfinished projects - i have cross stitch, quilting, jewellery, knitting, crochet - you name I have started but not finished it!!:o

    I am hoping this thread will help me to focus and get some things finished before I start another.

    I am currently addicted to Crafsty - can't resist signing up to any class that is on sale. I am half way through their Block of the Month class for 2012. So my first task is to finish the blocks. Will give myself 2 weeks to sew them and then begin to think about how to put it together and quilt it.

    Jess

    My cookie monster, could have done better with more time and just from experience, its all a learning curve.

    I've started a new project too and I think its another one I can get done fairly quickly so I'll have to add it to my list. I am uncycling one of my old shirts into a dress for DD, so far I'm really pleased with the results but its all cut in pieces at the moment so who knows how it'll turn out. Really all I'm doing is putting off doing the knitting which is going to take ages and a lot more concentration.

    Quite the opposite, he is concerned there aren't enough cookies in one packet to share one each with his whole class. He isn't a very good cookie monster lol
