So many WIPs

How many projects have you got that you're working on at once?  I think I might be overdoing it just a tad bit, I realized it today when I took them all out to take some pictures.  The following wips are all my most recent, I have three crochet projects going simultaneously, and already I am planning another.  


I bought these variegated yarns to make a few more doilies.  I enjoyed making my 1st one so much, all I've wanted to do since was try another few.  But for now I think I need to finish up a few of my other projects before starting another..

My most recent project is another African Flower Crochet Bag.  The first I made was for the Secret Tote Bag Swap, which was a hit by the way, my partner loved it!  This time I am using a much thinner yarn, so the bag will be really small.  All that is left to do, is construct the bottom of the bag, the drawstring, the part where the drawstring will pull through, and of course the lining.


Another crochet project is this Clam Shell Blanket.  I am using various colours of elle Pure Gold Chunky.  I think this project might sit on the shelf for a while.  The weather has warmed up considerably these past few weeks, and having it lie across my lap while crocheting might be murder, lol.  If you are interested in the pattern click HERE.  


Another crochet project, is this chevron blanket, I recon I am about halfway with this one.



Then, not forgetting that I quilt too, I've started cleaning up the back of the disappearing four patch baby quilt that I've made a few months ago.  The white fabric I used was fraying so much that I decided to clip them away before basting.  The last thing I want is for it to show up after quilting. 


So with it ready and 'clean' I started basting, I cant wait to start quilting it.  I've felt rather guilty for letting this one lie for so long.


Then, just when you thought I was done sharing all my WIPs, here is another I started.  A little cross stitch rose which was included with issue no 30 of Mollie Makes. 


 Hopefully before long I will be able to share a finish with you.

UFO Sunday - Cross Stitch

Another little sewing bug that bit me, is cross-stitching.  I found the chart for this piece I'm currently busy with HERE.  There are 100's to download for free.  Over the Christmas break, my husband would either play X-Box games, be out in the garden, or he was busy making my shelves and tables for my sewing room, and figured since we don't get to spend a lot of time together that at least this way, I can keep busy with something creative and still be in each other's company.  It's been sitting on the shelf for a couple of weeks now, so since things are back to normal with work and school I thought of carrying on at night...

Another UFO, almost a FO is this 'birthday' quilt I'm working on...  Don't worry, the time is really close for me to share this with all of you, so keep a look out for this secret project.  I did share some of the FMQ here.
