I guess I'm not the only one with too many projects on the go. It's like a drug - that heady rush I get when I start something new. I love finishing stuff, but it's the process I really love. The imagining, the starting, the re-working. The trouble is, each project stirs up more creative ideas.

1. Stripy wool blanket
2. Covered coat hangers
3. Flower motif string bag
4. Beaded necklace
5. Orange ribbon yarn placemats.
6. Tapestry crochet bag
The last is my favourite. When I was visiting my sister in Ireland last year, she took me to our favourite wool store, The Yarn Room . The lovely Irene Lundgaard had on display there a most beautiful crochet bag.

Cheers, Paula.
I only found your pretty bag now and I wonder if you ever completed it? Thank you for your kind words about my bag. Glad to be of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I finished the bag. Loved the colours and pattern, wasn't so happy with the round joins and the handles. So of course started a new one. I'll get some photos of both posted here soon. Paula.
