It's taken me several weeks to complete one seam down the middle of the progressing baby blanket, so that I can finish the edging on the fourth side.
It's taken me several months to repair the hole in the pocket of the coat that I've been wearing every day. Actually- it took me about a month to repair it the first time. But that only lasted for about a week before it fell apart again. Clearly complete pocket lining replacement was called for. Several months later when I finally sat down and got on with it it only took half an hour. I was so pleased with the result I went on to do the same thing to the other (just started falling apart) pocket, a similar patching effort to the ripped underarm lining, and finished it off with a once over by the de-pilling gizmo. May take me another year to deal with the rip in the lining hem line (though I did trim off the dangly bits) and it really does need a dry clean, but I felt a bit less disheveled wearing it to work today.
Instead of creating I have been enjoying exploring the wonderful virtual inspiration pinboard that is Pinterest. It's still in Beta, but there are some people with wonderful taste pinning things that make me swoon. I could spend hours browsing and following links to find more.
Actually, I have. Hours and hours.
Lady, you have bigger fish to fry than that crafty one. I'm not so sure my Mr would thank you for the introduction to Pinterest. But I am.
