Things Do Get Finished Around Here!

If there is one thing that I tell people about me – it is that I don’t finish things. I’m a great idea person – but seeing the project through to the end – that’s something I find challenging. (I’m trying to stop using the words HARD or DIFFICULT – and embracing the challenge of solving the puzzle.)

This is a collage of the things I have finished during th month of July. I’ll tell you some of the stories that go with them!

The biggest project is the lapghan. On Ravelry, I have been a member of the “Block of the Month” group for several years. This blanket is a collection of squares made by designers who contributed to the group.

The hardest was the puzzle. Over a year ago my 2 year old grandson figured out how to buy puzzles. He bought me a set of Mystery puzzles that have only a pixilated image and a lot of pieces. This is the first one I have finished.

Most of my projects are pretty small. The beginning of July was stressful and I started a lot of little Make Alongs. The Lotus Tea light holder is my fave! I made a couple with less petals and I like them better.

The garden is going well. I’ve pulled the German garlic and the Rose de L’au Trec. The heads are pretty small, but I may not be planting in the fall, so I will dry as much as I can for powder.

I still have WIPs to finish…socks, a shawl, a baby toy and others. The trailer floor is one of them. I WILL finish that! Stay tuned.

Marcia…on a journey at home.

Enjoy your day.

About Marcia Stehouwer

I have a great life (most days) and a small budget, so being frugal is one of my favourite hobbies. I started this blog after procrastinating for 3 months, on April Fool's Day. I knit, I read, I knit, I work... I am also about a quarter of the way through my goal to lose 100 pounds. So between knitting, working, reading etc., I also do some walking! EDIT: 2021. I am not closer to my weight goal, but moving forward. The budget is still small. We are renting our homestead and progressing towards our family dream!
