Welcome to my blog!

Hi, I'm Sherri, a happily married, 40-something, stay-at-home, work-at-home, work-outside-the-home mom. I have three boys (one's grown, married and a father himself; one is in high school; and the youngest is in middle school), two dogs, a cat and a bunch of other little critters... I love to crochet and knit and sew. I'm always interested in learning new crafts, like bead stringing, felt doll making, book making, painting ...

On The Hook

I’m very disappointed with myself lately.  I used to always finish every book I started; finished every project I started before beginning another, listed every item I made right after making it, etc, etc…  But now, I haven’t finished the last 5 books I”ve started (I haven’t even picked up a book in months) and I have at least 5 crochet projects going and at least 3 knitted ones and many scarves and re-useable bags that have not been listed and probably 5 patterns that need to be typed up.

Here’s a list of unfinished projects off the top of my head …

Crochet:

*Dachsund (one is done, one is not);
*Big crocheted sock monkey;
*a crocheted snuggie for my grandson for Christmas;
*a triangle shawl that I’ve kept in my car to work on when I’m out;

Knitting:

*a small knitted sock monkey (key chain sized);
*a cute orange garter stitch scarf;
*an ugly black and gold scarf (maybe I can’t finish it because I think it’s ugly?);
*a fluffy blue, purple and pink scarf;
*Knitty’s Sock-topus that I started at least a year ago …

Needs to be listed:

*dozens of sewn re-useable grocery bags that are so cute, but need pictures and to be listed;
*bunches of destash yarn, books and supplies;
*a female soldier doll I made a year ago;
*a cute brown and green baby hat;
*all the patterns below once I type them up;

Patterns to be typed up:

*knitted sock monkey scarf and hat set;
*crocheted flower scarf / belt;
*sock monkey sweater / hat / scarf set;
*dachsund dog life-like pet;

Ideas that I have that I want to start:

*winter hats in my son’s school colors;
*matching scarves for the hats;
*I really want to crochet a bunch of dish clothes / wash clothes;

I think I should print out this and check off things as I get them done?

  • You are not alone. I used to always finish everything too and this past year I have also slipped. and now have items unlisted, WIPs and unread books. Shall we make a New Year’s resolution to get back on track? Ticking things off of a list is a great way to register our accomplishments. :)
