Polyxena asked me about the projects I was determined to finish by the end of the year, and for the most part they were done
- 1 amigurumi doll I have to sew up- DONE
- 1 scrapbook of a week in the life from 2011- DONE
- 1 crocheted cardigan for Miss BG that when finished, will not fit her – RIPPED OUT and restarted to fit my little niece
- 2 crocheted bibs for my niece-DONE!
- 1 crocheted washer- DONE!
- 1 half finished cardigan for myself- I lost my count doing a sleeve-RIPPED OUT SLEEVE and restarted
- 1 half finished scarf – RIPPED OUT and restarted
- 1 granny square blanket which needs to be sewn together after I finish putting the final trim around the squares- DONE!
- Several pieces of fabric begging to be made into dresses, skirts, capes for the kids.- I have started on a dress, and will have some spare time in a week or two for some serious sewing.
Along the way I also
- Framed 7 prints and posters that we bought overseas
- Made a fez for Master BG- my first attempt at millinery
In my year of Being Mindful I want to finish what I start. One thing I never started last year was a ripple blanket; I ended up donating the wool to a retirement village in Ballarat for residents to use to knit toys for disadvantaged children. One of the ladies had a knitting machine and ended up using the wool to make teddies!
I have a few balls of yarn left over from my granny square blanket which will be making their way to them very soon 
.
Seeing the fez on Master BG reminds me of a hilarious comedian Tommy Cooper. He was my dad’s favourite.
The fez looks great on your son. Does he have any good jokes?
He has a wide collection of joke books and loves to make some up of his own. Some of them aren’t bad
.His teachers from kindergarten have labelled him the class clown, so when he doesn’t want to be a scientist, a writer or an inventor, he wants to be a comedian!
