A Scrapbook Page

Using my Gypsy, I cut out the words "Bright Baby Blues", using the Hanna Montana cartridge  I backed the front paper with the yellow paper and framed a couple of pics with it as well.  I added a couple embellishments, some journaling and called it finished.

Knitted Poncho

A Conscious Effort to Finish Old Projects...

Spring here has been really sloooooow in coming.  Today, it's finally a gorgeous day, I took my dog for a walk and ate my lunch outside.  I even have the windows open in my house.

I'm getting the itch to clear the clutter again!  How have I managed to accumulate so much stuff?  I definately have a disease when it comes to shopping.  The funny thing is I hate going to stores, I internet shop and that's the problem, it's way to contagious and way too easy!

I've been going through a knitting phase lately,  I made a really pretty knitted poncho and a knitted cowl, recently.    While I was knitting those I decided that before June I would like finish some projects that I have started and never finished over the years.  So, that's what I've been doing now. 

Things that I have on my list to finish:

1.  A pair of crocheted slippers that I started 10 years ago. DONE
2.  A granny square afghan that I started 6 or 7 years ago.  DONE
3.  A crocheted cowl that I started last fall. DONE
4.  I need to finish a book I've been reading now way too long, Taliesin by Stephen Lawhead.  DONE
5.  Plus, I have lots of knitted and crocheted projects that I bought to make and never started so I'd like to get those done too.  In Process
6.  Clean out the 4 drawer file cabinet. (1-1/2 drawers done)  DONE

I'll add to the list as I come across new (old) items that I find around the house.
