Finished Projects

This weekend two boys were sick.

It was kind of a bummer as it was our Mission's Conference

at church.  Because my fella and boys were singing, I was

the one who "got" to stay home.

I decided to use this quiet time at home to finish

some projects.

I love jumping in and starting projects but

for some reason, I get to the end and fizzle out.

The stack of skirts I started last week all sit

waiting all hemmed and ready, except they all need zippers.

Come on girl, get those zippers in!

Well, I used this past weekend to finish the dolls I started

and to finish the last sock.

I'm so excited to announce,,

I did it!

They're done!  Yippee Skippee!

The dolls just waited for some beautiful locks

to warm their cold, bald heads.

They were supposed to be man and wife but the wife came

out rather small so now they are Mom and daughter.

This actually took alot longer than I thought but I enjoyed

the process.  Their look came alive.

I then finished the toe part of the last sock.

I found out during the second sock that I did the first one wrong.

Oh well, when I wear them and see the mistakes I'll

see them as my first pair that I conquered.

I found that I totally enjoy making socks.

I actually started another pair last night!

The book is from the library.  I love the system our library

has.  I find titles I might enjoy, search them at the library

web site and they order and then hold them for me.

Most of the titles I've searched, they've had.

This has been such a huge help with

learning this new hobby (much cheaper too).

If there's a book I really enjoy, I put it on a list for my dear

fella and hope he gets them for me later as a gift.

This helps him because he says I'm hard to shop for so
I enjoy this way of helping him out, hehe!
