Finished for Friday


I'm going to start holding myself accountable for the stacks of unfinished projects around here. Here is the first, an ornament that I assembled yesterday. I'm afraid you're going to start seeing more and more little Christmas projects as the holiday gets closer.

I'm not sure what Mrs. Claus is holding - maybe an accordion? I think it's supposed to be something she baked. I love the vagueries of tiny needlepoint projects.

Let me know if you suffer from unfinished projects (of any kind) and maybe I'll start a blog carnival.

Hope you have a great, productive weekend.

10 people stopped folding laundry to write:

I believe she is holding a basket of apples. Because you know Santa likes a good apple.

I have a very cute "Noel" pillow I started 2 years ago and haven't finished. Maybe I should get on that.

Cheryl Lage said...

I'm with Gerb, I think she is holding three apples, although I think those are her fingers rather than a basket. (and I'm hoping they're for Rudolph!)

Oh I've got unfinished...do tell when the carnival goes live... ;)

I have tons of unfinished scrapbooking projects. Not much of a sewer or needlepoint kinda gal, I'm more into paper projects, but I do have tons of them that need finished.

I also have a quilt that my best friend and I started the year before I got pregnant with my daughter. Needless to say, it hasn't been touched in over 2 years!

I've been having the same thought on the UFO front. I decided that by showing my oldy moldy projects on the blog I'm motivated to get it done so that I can show the finished project as well. It's working so far. How could we carnival it up???!!!! Like Rio!!

Liz Jimenez said...

Ooh, I love it! Yay for finishing projects. I'm working on the first (of possibly 3) rag quilt today. It's a little one, so I should finish shortly...

I thought the red was part of her dress. I thought the stripes between her hands were a tray of something.

I'll put up a Mr. Linky next Friday, for everyone to show finishes or works in progress. Sounds like I'm not the only one who needs to get some things finished!

I have one unfinished project. My sister bought me stuff for a scrapbook for our trip to WDW two years ago. We;ve been back once since and we leave again in 19 days.

I have some of the pages half-done. I have some of the paper-stuff (ticket stubs, room keys, silly receipts) sort-of planned out.

But I did buy this awesome Isaac Mizrahi computer case bag to carry it all in. It just sits in my bedroom up against the dresser, mocking me.

I'm more than a year and a half behind in scrapbooking! :)

What A Card said...

Oh yes, I have unfinished projects! Most pressing: a Halloween costume. And also aprons for my boys that I cut the fabric for so long ago, I'm worried it'll be too small for them when I finally get them sewn!

Cute ornament, BTW :)
