So much to do - so little time

So, I'd been reading crafty-quilty blogs for about 6 months, having discovered them when looking for online advice about finishing a quilt that was started in a class (I'd been reading food blogs for, like, forever, but that's another story). Here's the quilt in question:

Boy was I bowled over by the amount of good stuff out  there here, and inspired as never before! All of a sudden I was carried along on a wave of creativity (mostly other people's to be fair), and the list of projects I just had to make just grew and grew.

So the idea for this blog started out as a way of keeping all my unfinished projects in check, and a way of putting gentle pressure onto myself to finish things, at least sometimes.

I also wanted to use it to keep a track of the projects, snippets of inspiration, and ideas I'd bookmarked for later, the electronic magazine and newspaper clippings, as you might say.

I never thought people - real live people - other than my close friends and family of course - would want to read my ramblings, or look at my half finished attempts at making beautiful things. But it turns out a few people are interested.  And for that I am immensely grateful.....it's really nice to have company.

So here's the current - very varied - list. It's in chronological order - first posted is first on the list - maybe you'll also find some inspiration amongst my 'clippings'.
