UFO's (unfinished objects)

Mr Santa has been a project that Delena and I started 2 years ago. Between have a baby, moving house and just the busyness of life Mr Santa got put aside. We decided this year he'd get finished and proudly hung on our walls. We've improvised a bit and Rudy the Reindeer (over the shoulder of Santa) had no pants and in fact has no legs. But since you can't tell from the photos it really doesn't matter.


Another project I've been wanting to do for awhile is give a makeover to the dogs rooms. So I found some old jeans, cut them up and sewed them back together again to make new beds. I even added velcro closures so i can remove them and wash them every so often. I was a little concerned that the dogs may not want to lie on them but they didnt' disappoint me. I even found Leah lying on her bed in the middle of the day (unusual for her!).


This project I started almost 4 years ago. My dear friend Amber was getting married and I wanted to make her a quilt. But then she moved to India for awhile and I got distracted so the quilt sat in the closet - unfinished. They decided to come out for a visit so I had to get it done. I love the finished look. It is something that is designed to be thrown in the car to be used on picnics etc. And I put their names on it so they can't give it away!!

I think I've got 3 projects that are needing to be completed at my leisure. One may be a Christmas present and one is for me and one is for Benny for when he is a little older. So with Christmas coming (yes, there are decorations in the store now!) I might have to get busy and get it finished. Or I may just take up crocheting and start a whole bunch of new projects.

Side note: I'm loving the concept of cloth nappies. We had a trial day yesterday and not too bad I must say. Benny is bigger than I think he is and the nappies aren't the best fit so I've ordered some different types. It's just a matter of finding the right fit and size for him. I'm sure I can handle it!
