Thanks Mom, it's exactly what
Welcome to Finally Finishing. My goal here is to finish all the projects that I have started once and for all. I have so many "starts and stops" that I have lost track and missed opportunities not to mention the cash I have put out for materials. I invite you to join me in this endeavor. I need accountability. If you do too follow along and lets get things done once and for all.Feel free to tell me what you are "Finally Finishing".
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

Spring Has Sprung
The color green always reminds me of Spring and this year I welcome the season change more than ever. We've just endured our 4th Nor'easter in as many weeks and I am done with "Old Man Winter" but enough complaining for now. I'm happy to report I have completed last week's assignment for Frankie Brown's Knit Along; Square #11. Frankie's Knitted Stuff. It's called Honey Comb. I've committed to using up my "mile high"stash pile for this project and it is starting to show. It shouldn't surprise anyone that it is sewing all these squares together that is proving to be a challenge for me; the "queen of putting things off" and I'm already falling behind. While I didn't set out to use green I'm glad I did. This soft, light green color reminds me of new seasons, new life and hope. This yarn is probably a leftover from one of the million baby items my 90 year old mom has made over the years and am thrilled to add it to my blanket. She recently lost her ability to knit so I inherited her stash.

Walk Of Shame
Here I am ...I'm back.
My excuses are many but I'll spare you the drama and the details and get right to it, the object of this blog. While I've certainly neglected recording my progress I never abandoned my goals of Finally Finishing every project I've ever started and left undone. So allow me my "Walk of Shame" and then without further adieu let's move on.
Ages ago I came upon a darling pattern for a crocheted coin purse that I wanted to make my sisters for our annual Family Christmas Swap. I bought the "kiss clasp" hardware and more cotton yarn giving me enough now "to sink a ship." I managed to use some of it for washcloths and some for baby hats, but of course I never got around to making the purses for those special ladies in my life. Finally I did make one (with many others to come I hope) It was for a group swap I took part in with Ravelry This little swap seemed to be the perfect gift for my partner.
If you get the hankering to make one too, click the link below.
Be sure to scroll down on blog for this particular one.
