[Nfb-krafters-korner] UFOs

Thu Mar 22 23:27:37 UTC 2012

Hi Linda,
I mentioned I finish projects. But I didn't mention that I can't leave the store without some crafting items. Last Saturday my husband was feeling good enough to go to the store with my Grandson and I while I shopped. I came home with five or six scaines of yarn. Did I pick them? NO. He said he liked the spring colors and now I have them. I have no projects going now except the quilt. But a purse to put inside my big bag that can hold a cane and wallet  is brewing in my mind. Just how to make it sturdy enough is my concern. Oh, and which of the colors to use. lol

>> HI,
>> No ufos here. I can't handle an unfinished project. That is why quilting is a challenge for me. I don't feel like I can have a dish cloth going and the quilt waiting for me. But I am working on it.
>> 
>> quilting takes a different kind of time then knitting. Knitting is in my purse, by my rocker and wherever I am. quilting means I am out of commission for a time. Even a short time. I can leave the sewing machine, of course. But would rather not when I get going.
>> 
>> So there is nothing waiting except the quilt right now. Of course, in my head there is a lot waiting. I have so many things I want to do.

>> My Mom just bought six dish towels. She was afraid I wasn't busy enough. She wants plastic bag holders sewn for each family. Hmmm, and Carol thought Mom didn't get me for the sewing. Well, the only thing I haven't had her ask for is a dentist appointment now. lol I am so glad to have my Mom. Her mind is still so sharp.

My third list is a list of those I am working on at present which includes new projects as well as UFO's.  My projects, old and new are all in bank boxes with Brailed labels and stacked in order of priority.  At last count, I had 39 UFO's but know that some  are still in storage in my carriage house and not on the list as I often create in stages, most of my new projects will be UFOs before they are completed

I am a person who has to be organized and have a LIST of things to do to get me going. I like to make a list and then check off the things that are finished, one at a time, as I complete each one.
