I'm trying to finish some of the WIPs that I have around the house before I run out of bags and baskets to store them all in!
I started off with a to do list, but it wasn't very inspiring
The best way to approach it was to just do it! I found these little knitted pieces in a basket waiting to be sewn together. I enjoy the knitting and crochet, but not so hot on the sewing bits and bobs together part.
I think I've had it since last Summer or before even. The pattern came with a magazine 'Lets Get Crafting' and the yarn and needles were supplied with it.
To be fair, once I started sewing and stuffing, it didn't really take that long to finish off. Now doesn't she look better like this rather than a pile of knitted pieces.
I think she's quite sweet with her headscarf and pinny on.
Finishing one thing off has given me the motivation to finish some more (I have a poor bunny with no face).
It's my son's 27th birthday tomorrow and we're having a little celebration tonight to spoil him with a good meal and some presents, so I don't expect to get any more crafting done today.
Take care

Your Russian doll is so cute and the face is expertly embroidered. Happy Birthday to your son!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm really not keen on faces, that's why my poor bunny is finished except for a face! x
DeleteYour little doll is very cute!! It is amazing how quickly you can get things finished and then you wonder why it took so long don't you - or is that just me! Hope you have a good time with the birthday celebrations! xx
ReplyDeleteNo, it's the same here, that's why my WIP pile is growing x
DeleteShe's a darling Cheryl!! I have to crochet a little here and a little there when I have a moment!! Things take so long to make that way ...sigh!!!

She is such a sweetheart, Cheryl! I threw all my WIPs into one big see-though box and promised myself to finish one project per week. So far I have a 50% success rate as its been two weeks :-)
