Ok, this is a tad embarrassing..

I just emptied out my to finish box.

I think this might be the crafters equivalent of a Rorschach test... says a lot about ones personality, but exactly *what* it says is a little harder to discern!

there is -

the fifty-million waldorf pocket dolls aforementioned.
3x pocket nappies cut out ready for sewing
a bed-wetting mattress cover thingy cut out ready to sew
3x pocket nappies needing their last 4 snaps each put on them (oops)
a dress needing 3 buttons sewn on (oops)
a pair of 3/4 pants for lexi that just need waistband elastic (oops)
a calico shopping bag that needs a hole overlocked (oops)

So umm... 4x 5min jobs, 1x 10min job, 3x 30min jobs that I've been putting off for, uhh, forever.

And the dolls.

Finish it February

On one of the forums I'm on, it has been declared Finish It February!!

This was my list on the 31st of Jan-

- Maia's 2012 winter cardi
- re-do sleeves on my disastrous Corona hoodie :(
- overlock fraying prefolds - DONE! 01.02
- fix lexi's PJ pants - DONE! 01.02
- finish fifty zillion waldorf pocket dolls :twitch:
- whatever else is in my "to finish" box :twitch:
- button tree pic
- stain & reupholster chairs & dining table
- sew a bunch of baby gifts - one done! 01.02

Unfortunately, this is my "to finish" box, and the two knitting projects.

ONE dining chair has been sanded & given it's first coat of stain, all of the seats are done, and one of the backs. I'm not talking about the table.

And of course I have a bunch of clothes to make for the kids as per usual.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaeeeek.

Just to make the task even better, I'm trying to use my stash for everything too. And I do not have one of those wonderful craft stashes filled with gorgeous yarns and fabrics, and every thread and notion known to man. I have fabrics that were $1-2/m at spotlight. I have yarn that was <$3/50g at spotlight. My button stash is predominantly ones that my dad cut off old business shirts.

BUT I'm going to see what I can do! And since the big kids are away this weekend, I'm going to see how much I can get done during that time... Wish me luck!!
