Unfinished Business

Ugh. I think I have crafting ADD. Here's a list of current UNFINISHED projects languishing in my sewing room:

1. Kimono outfit for GC (see previous post)
2. Oh, Fransson! quilt-along. 95% of my blocks are done
3. 20-some boxy zipper pouches just need side seams reinforced
4. Need to make 2 straps for a large tote, then finish it up
5. Another bag is cut, but no sewing done yet
6. I cut out a blouse for myself, but made it too short and trying to decide how to salvage
7. Currently working on a new product - kids' aprons. Prototype is in the works
8. Fabric is washed and ironed and ready to cut a pouch sling


Aaack!!!

Raise your hand if you read blogs for the photos

Me, me!!! I must admit that I love "reading" blogs - well, ones written by fellow crafty types, anyway - but mostly for the photos. Anybody else? Coming soon - an all photo post of recent projects.

Speaking of photos... I've been trying to capture my daughter's black eyelashes. This is a big deal to me because I come from a long line of eyelash "challenged" people and I'm thrilled that Gwendolyn will not have to be a slave to mascara. So this is the best photo to date. I'm going to work on capturing her brothers' lashes, too, and will post soon. Anybody else obsessed with long, black lashes?



Finally, a shout out to Knittymama for lending me her baby swing. Gwendolyn takes long, delicious naps there which gives me time for luxuries such as SHOWERING, and yes, SEWING! Three cheers for the swing!
