Do You Pinterest?

I do enjoy Pinterest. But, I can spend a lot of time looking and I have so many pins! Every year, since 2015, I have created a board to pin things that I find interesting or want to try. I also create a board for things I have made each year. There are a lot more to try than actually made.

I have so many interests - knitting, and more recently crochet, crafting in general, sewing, embroidery, quilting...

I have given away some yarn and a partially knitted sweater recently. 

I still have yarn for a couple of projects not started. And, I will continue to knit dish clothes and small ornaments.

I have been learning to crochet.

I have made more of these and given most away to my friends with Featherweights.

I'm still working on this afghan. My son and his GF have a beagle and I would love to make one of these for them.

Isn't it cute?

I used to enjoy counted cross-stitch. Life got busy when my son was young (so many doctor appointments) and I finally gave all my projects and patterns away several years ago. In the past year or so I have slowly been picking it up again, working on small projects. 

Recently, I saw Hands on Design A Year of Celebrations and ordered it from Stitch & Frog. People are being very creative with their finishing of this cute little calendar squares.

I ordered some linen in two different colors in the count called for in the pattern - 32 count, stitched over two.

That is tiny! I am hoping this isn't going to be more frustrating than fun.

I did make myself finish the small project I was working on and will probably try to start this later today.

I also made a pincushion to put on the big ironing board. I used scraps from Charming Beauty. 
Seems that where ever I am my pins, scissors, etc. are somewhere else. I will probably end up getting more of everything so I have some at every spot I work at. 

So, so many things I want to try/do/make. I just need more time. Or to retire!
