A Mish-Mash of Distraction

So it’s been a long,long,long,long time since I’ve written….so I figured I’d say hello. It seems as if I’ve had a difficult time finishing some projects, but I have had small successes finishing others. My mind has all of this stuff flying through it and I can’t control it. I see something I like and think ‘I can do that!’ And then I try it. Then I’m thinking, we need more blankets (it is winter after all), so then I start a blanket. Then it’s the holiday time and I’m scrambling to finish projects in time….anyway, I did end up creating a bunch of stuffed toys to donate to a shelter just time for Christmas. SUCCESS!

….and I did get to finish my first knitted pin. SUCCESS!

…but then I got distracted. I wanted to create stuff with yarn (I bought a slew of yarn – my favorite Caron Simply Soft Yarn) but then there was a sale on my favorite clay –Amaco Stoneware Clay – and decided instead to make something
using said clay. I made this great clay piece which I call Squiggly.
I don’t know what it can be used for.
A display piece? Something you can put change into?
I don’t know. I just know that I liked the way my “art piece” came out of the kiln
and plan on making more of this Squiggly art. SUCCESS!

During all of this I ALSO tried to make character inspired dolls, a hexagon blanket duvet cover,
and a knitted drawstring bag. I have yet to finish the dolls (as you can see)
and I won’t tell you who they will end up becoming, but with all
of these distractions, I don’t know when any of these projects will be completed. FAIL!

Hopefully, I will write more frequently….but I get distracted 😉
