Did you think I was every going to post Handwork Wednesday again? March was supposed to be ornament month but I spent most of it cutting out tiny bits for my Fiberactions challenge quilt. But, with my back messed up, my ornament kit is about all I can do right now.
Finally, some progress on Tiles of Lisbon. I have proven again that it's a good idea to have a variety of project underway - there's always something ready to work on no matter your mood or health! I think everyone who reads this should start one new project today...just in case.
Vicki,
I bought a piece of f abric yesterday, will wash it today, ..... the wheels are in motion for another project!
We definitely need a variety of projects underway ...... particularly hand work which will travel easily, some things we can do sitting in a comfy chair, some to do at a table/desk, some lap top projects. Another lot of projects in various machining stages is good too.

So glad you are able to work on something with your back being out. This is a great project for that! Thank you for the suggestion. I was thinking today about what new project I could work on. Hmmm...

I guess I have to thank you for telling me it is okay to start a new project to add to the UFO pile?

Beautiful ornament, but I think the CAT has been on vacation way too long!

Hmmm....I need something to take with me to Texas--from Alaska that's a lot of plane time!! (And hotel time while DH is doing business stuff without me!!) What to do? I HATE prepping!!

You win, I started new socks!
I just love these ornaments esp. since I'm not tempted to make them myself and can just enjoy seeing yours.

i was thinking of a new project, too.....a selvage vest. thanks for the push to do it today. LOL and i was thinking of dyeing more fabric. it is raining now and i was wondering if i could hand hand dyes in the rain and it would help to rinse out the last of the dye. think i'll try that.

Start a new project? I wish!!! April 15, when the quilt show has come and gone, then I'm with you, all the way!!!

OK! -- I pulled fabrics for a new project last night -- working on a dog portrait tonight after work. Maybe finishing some ATCs too.
Thanks!
Love those sparkly ornaments.

Yikes, like I need encouragement to have a new project idea! Has anybody done a study to see if there is more exhilartion starting or finishing a project? I never thought a whole lot about ADD until someone identified themselves as an ADD Crafter. oooh, if the shoe fits...
But I do hear what you are saying and I agree.
