Time means nothings to WIPs and UFOs

I was thinking about Sharon B's postings on her New Year's resolutions and then her WIPs follow ups last night when I was looking for someting "simple" to do when I was too tired "to do anything else."

A look through my things -- found wonderful projects "waiting", but they all required more energy than I had.

This, for example -- will be wonderful when it's ever done. I see the copyright date on the pattern 2001 ... oh dear.

 

And then there is the "eye issue" -- it looks a lot easier on the eyes this morning than it did last night. But I'll keep it out in plain sight for a while and see if I can get to it at all.

And WHERE is the notebook...

for this 10 year old Russian drawn thread sampler? This DEFINITELY is a WISP -- a Work in Slow Progress, term coined by Sharon B from
In A Minute Ago

Sharon, these photos are for you! Talk about Slow Cloth .... could I do this again today? I doubt it.

 

 

 

 

These are some of the drawn threads, saved to use again for basting, sewing up, or even sewing. Note cotton thread with "25 kopek" stamp. In the class we used Russian 42 count linen and DMC embroidery thread, or floss from India.
