Just a little update

Yeah, I know I was going to get better at this wasn't I?

First thing, I realized last night that yesterday would have been perfect, perfect I tell you, for blocking one of my shawls. Too bad I didn't think of it during the DAY. Oy. Having a sunny 70 degree day in early March fried my brain apparently. But it was wonderful.

Second thought of the last 24 hours is why I am not able to use up my fabric as quickly as I'd like? Actually the same question could be posed for my yarn. I thought this little granny hexagon sampler would just soak up yarn, I mean doesn't crochet take up significantly more yarn than knitting? Apparently not enough. So here I am three weeks later and I'm still trying to use up this damn bright acrylic yarn.

I also thought I'd found the perfect couple of projects to use up my Jinny Beyer palette fabrics. I went crazy a couple years ago and bought the entire fat quarter box and here it's sat ever since. The larger quilt I was going to use it for . . . it's just beyond my design skills at this point. So I found not one, not two, but three quilts and are designed for the palette box and guess what? I'll still have half the fabric left over when I'm done. I knew I'd have leftover. I figured I could stash it and use it for an applique project, some applique project but seriously people. Just once I would like to find a pattern, pull some fabric and use it all up.
