WOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

They've gone back to school - happy happy me  : )

Time to catch up on a few things. When I say a *few*, I mean that in the loosest sense, this morning I decided to round up all of the WIP's going on in this house.

I should make yourself comfortable, this may take a while...

No 1

Crochet scarf - needs finishing off and buttons.

No 2

Little bear - needs knickers.

No 3

Little bear's friend - needs a body and eyes - creepy.

No 4

Raggy flower tutorial - coming soon.

No 5

Pram size quilt - piecing so chronic, that I gave up (must get one of those quilting ruler thingies).

No 6

Ideas for new softies or Gocco-ed postcards - dunno yet.

More here.

I make that 26 things - anyone beat that ?

I shan't be doing any of it today though, because today I want to do this - what a FANTASTIC idea !

I also need to catch up on my e-mails, I've been able to recieve but not send all week, so I shall be sitting down with my glass of wine tonight and doing just that. Lovely.

Looks like my place - only we homeschool so I've given up EVER finishing anything! I love the drawings and would LOVE something printed with the daleks from the gocco - can I interest you in a trade of some sort?

I do think you've got me beat with your 26! It just gets tricky, doesn't it? So many interesting things to do and try - so little time.

I must say, even your WIPs are lovely. (Except for maybe the disembodied blind bunny. Although, I know he'll be cute as a button once he has eyes. and a body...)

[Dawn]

Lucky ME! More inspiration to come from your place. Love the peek at all the WIPs..!

[Melissa]

I am scared to count. I love the little animals they are sooo wonderful. I too am looking at the new Hillary doll's they are awesome. Can't wait to get my patterns and get started:) Looks like you have a lot of good starts.

You do have me beat with the 26. I have several projects I want to try, but I haven't started them yet, so I don't really count them. Especially since I've vowed that I won't start anything new till I finish the ones I still have going. I should take bets on how long that will last.

[Pam]

I always loved back to school as well! Enjoy your day!

[kathy]

Thanks for making me feel better! I put non-active WIPs into large clear plastic bags so I can keep track of the pieces. The stack has gotten quite large and keeps sliding around, I don't want to count. You're so right about those dolls, definitely a priority buster.

[Alicia P.]

Man, you crack me up. :-)

[raspberryfairy]

It's the knickers that make me crack up!!!!

Thank the lord for school, I mean they need their eductaion, but our sanity!!!!!

I have a craft next Saturday, and my supposed pile, looks pretty barren, why do they have school holidays!?

[Nicki]

Love the colours on that scarf and can't wait for the tutorial:o)

I don't have many WIP but have lots of "when-i-have-the-time-i-am-going-to-do-that" type projects in my head, notebooks, scraps of paper.... I do great craft in my head!!!!! We home ed so i hardly ever get to fulfill my dreams [sighs]

[suze]

So glad you're back!
I have missed looking at your lovely work- and i think the red patchwork is gorgeous and full of charm.
So there!

[sarah]

[Jan]

Your WIPs look so beautiful already! Enjoy the peace and quiet, Lyn!

[Adriana]

Oh, Lyn, you find the best fur. I hope you'll share your secret sources someday ;-)

Love the scarf!

Happy weekend!

[Lina]

That scarf looks lovely! I'm looking forward to seeing it finished...

[Max]

It all looks just FANTASTIC! You are a busy bee! The scarf is just lovely - I have been attempting to learn crochet but I have a big problem with following patterns. The quilt is absolutely adorable - I have the red flowery fabric too! I am thinking of doing a quilt course...I have no idea where to start and find the whole idea very scary indeed. Good luck wiht it all. x

[donna]

Lovely projects, all worthy of finishing. I too have downloaded the new wee wonderfuls dolls. Aren't they just divine?

[Marci]

Wow...you are doing so much and everything looks so great! Really inspiring. I really like the illustrations, think they would make great postcards

[Shell]

Holey Moley! Good luck with it all. Looks like you've got some lovely projects going on there - I look forward to seeing some finished!

[Monica]

I might not reach 26, but getting quite close... and if I add the fabric corsage of yours...

well I look forward to the tutorial!

[wordybird]

yikes! have you ever seen the movie "donnie darko"? your head-only bunny looks just like this huge, creepy bunny in that film....
