Incomplete

Lots of things are incomplete.  The ironing, for example.  Filing.  Banking.  The dishes.  Book group books.  And craft projects.  At Brown Owls last week we each made a sausage dog CD holder – well, I started mine; most people finished theirs, with fantastic results.  Another great project from the talented Kirsty.

Yes, I succumbed to the lure of the crochet hook instead!

These squares are to make a cot quilt for my cousin Sally’s new baby Mia.

When I laid them all out I wasn’t happy with the colour of the two blocks in the top right corner – I have since replaced them with fabrics that tone much better.  Now I need to join the blocks together.

Clare enjoyed using up the left-over fabric paint and my stamp from a previous Brown Owls meeting.  She is very proud of her t-shirt and has already worn it a number of times!

Now I’m off to write a proper list of all the incomplete craft projects that are lying around and a list of what is to come next (keeping in mind that Christmas is very, very soon)!
