[Nfb-krafters-korner] UFOs

[artist]

I have two color identifiers and neither one is perfect.  The first one will 
not say white and eats batteries  like it is starving to death.  The newer 
one I got for Christmas is a "color teller"  It has a much longer battery 
life but it will not identify the color green; reads greens as gray. 
Between the two, i can get pretty accurate readings.   I still ask my 
brother when in doubt .   JoAn

>> Wow, that is way more organized than I ever will be. I have lots of

>> I was wondering, after reading Henry's post:
>>
>> Do you have UFOs?
>> If so, how or where do you keep them?
>> Do you return to them and finish them at some point?
>>
>> Mine are in "cupcake" storage boxes I buy at the Dollar General store -

>> on the shelves in my Knitting studio.
>> One stack if for Knitting projects, one stack is for bead projects - each
>> neatly there waiting for me to find them again and give them the

>> they deserve.
>>
>> This has motivated me to do a search of my UFOs and make a list of them 
>> that
>> I can use in selecting the next ones. I am going to do that today. I am a
>> person who has to be organized and have a LIST of things to do to get me

>> finished, one at a time, as I complete each one.
>>
>> How about you?
