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...)

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

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.
Posted by: Melissa | September 15, 2006 at 03:50 PM
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.

I always loved back to school as well! Enjoy your day!
Posted by: Pam | September 15, 2006 at 04:22 PM
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.

Man, you crack me up. :-)
Posted by: Alicia P. | September 15, 2006 at 05:22 PM
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!?

Your WIPs look so beautiful already! Enjoy the peace and quiet, Lyn!
Posted by: Veronica TM | September 16, 2006 at 05:06 AM
Oh, Lyn, you find the best fur. I hope you'll share your secret sources someday ;-)
Love the scarf!
Happy weekend!

That scarf looks lovely! I'm looking forward to seeing it finished...
Posted by: Lina | September 16, 2006 at 08:38 AM
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
Posted by: Max | September 16, 2006 at 10:42 AM
Lovely projects, all worthy of finishing. I too have downloaded the new wee wonderfuls dolls. Aren't they just divine?
Posted by: donna | September 16, 2006 at 11:50 PM
Wow...you are doing so much and everything looks so great! Really inspiring. I really like the illustrations, think they would make great postcards
Posted by: Marci | September 17, 2006 at 02:03 AM
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!
Posted by: Shell | September 17, 2006 at 11:56 PM
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!
Posted by: Monica | September 18, 2006 at 08:35 AM
yikes! have you ever seen the movie "donnie darko"? your head-only bunny looks just like this huge, creepy bunny in that film....
Posted by: wordybird | September 18, 2006 at 12:32 PM
Can't believe how much you've got on but then we're all a bit 'backed up' from the school hols. I love seeing what you're up to - it's all so inspiring.

Don't worry you'll get there. I love the pram quilt and can't wait to see the little bear, her ensemble looks so cute.
My two went back to school just over a week and half ago but I still don't seem to achieved much, not quite sure what I'm doing with my time but it's going somewhere...
Posted by: Rebecca | September 19, 2006 at 04:17 PM
HOLY CRACKERS!
Are you sure you dont have at least 4 hands???
I love the variety and look forward to a tutorial(yipee)

Mine just started play/school ... free time 3 mornings a week a real novelty to me ... I have 5 years of WIPs to dig out and finish!
Posted by: (a different!) Rebecca | September 21, 2006 at 04:01 PM
I have been meaning all week to take pictures of all my WIPs, but I just haven't found the time, I'm afraid it may take hours :o)
I love the colors of your crocheted scarf!
