Happy Post...

Don't you just love it when Mr Posty knocks on your door with a parcel or two?

I do...especially when he knocks on more than one day!!

My pattern for Loopy's dress has arrived, quick delivery from France...

But let me show you the envelope it came in...


pretty cool right?
Made from a recycled map of Germany.

But that wasn't all...
Another really quick delivery, this time cotton yarn...

I'm looking to make a few make up/toner pads and possibly a wash cloth or two depending on how much yarn the pads eat up.



Then joy of joy extra, super fast delivery from The Wool Warehouse {literally free overnight delivery!} to finish off one of the blankets that I have on the go and also another that may just have slipped its way onto my hook.

*insert Happy Dance*

Oh what a week, Mollies Makes, Yarn deliveries, sewing plans coming to fruition and pom pom making...


*sigh*

Oh and I may have baked cakes as well...


I may also have eaten one before the kiddos came home...


*Fat Cat Sigh*

WIP or Simply Unfinished?...

Tell me what do you see?

When you spot unfinished 'things' loitering around.

Are they works in progress?  

How do you class your works in progress?  If it carries over into a new year does it still count as a WIP?  Can WIP last for years!?

Or

Are they unfinished projects, unfinished business?  
Do you shut them away from your eyes or do you brazen it out ignoring their half naked state?

When does the time come to cut your losses?

Does there come a time to admit defeat?

I have two blankets on the go from last year.  One was is a Crimbo gift the other a house warming gift...BOTH are way overdue.
Both will be gratefully/happily received and I'm sure loved. 

Both will be completed because I have promised them to be so. 

I am just curious as to how others see those inevitable piles of yarn or fabric 
{or whatever your crafting weakness may be}
