For a long, long, LONG time...well, at least the last six months, I have been very good at limiting my crochet projects to one at a time. It was really great motivation," finish this Red Heart Super Saver hat, and THEN you can work with the yummy bamboo and wool blend sweater."
Then, came my trip this weekend.
I had not seen a friend of mine in the midwest for close to four years, so when a small financial windfall came my way, I booked the second soonest flight out there to see him. Unfortunately, my current project "Mad to Attempt Plaid" Bag is WAY too bulky and unwieldly for the confines of a puddle-hopper plane. Digging through my stash, I found two balled skeins of Lion Brand Wool Ease in a soft, rosy color. Each skein had been worked into something at one point, and then frogged, I figured I'd give it the dignity of having a finished project to reside in, and maybe be able to cross a Christmas present off the list.
Like so many before me...I have fallen from the wagon yet again.
At present, the rosy plane hat is sitting 3/4 of the way done, and most likely will be frogged again, the bag needs one more piece to be completed before I begin on the surface crocheting and felting....and I have precious little interest in working on both. Thankfully, there be ghostly programs on the tube tonight, so I might be able to work on some of it.

Still Alive
This is purely to just make myself post something.

After languishing atop my stash pile, which doubles as a No-Man's-Land for partially finished, and abadoned projects, I have finally lined the Sari-Silk purse I completed in April or May. My handsewing skills leave a great deal to be desired, but I do intend to make it a point to add more finishing details to my projects.
The sewing machine actually behaved tonight, and I threaded the bobbin with only one, small, meltdown. Other than that, it was an absolute gem. The possibilities grow more and more by the hour, it'd be nice to start making my own clothes, even if its just for novelty.
