A New Project

One of the things I've been trying to do lately is come up 

with ideas for the doilies I make. 

This of course is not a doily, but a little crocheted motif I made 

with linen thread and then 

I hand stitched it onto a piece of linen fabric.

 I think hand-stitching is so relaxing, I don't know why I don't do 

it more often.

I made 3 little pin cushions/lavender sachets with the linen 

thread I already have in my stash. 

You can use any kind of crochet thread...  

you know I'm just crazy about the linen stuff, right? :-)

It was fun digging into my linen scrap pile 

to find pieces of fabric to work with. 

Finding the remnants of linen at the fabric store is the way to go 

for little projects like this.

So, that's one way I can use crochet pieces, 

but here's another "long-term" project 

I'm working on.  

This is a pineapple doily I crocheted a while back. 

I saw somewhere on Pinterest a window covering 

made of sewn together doilies!

OK, here's the thing...

I could probably get enough doilies from the antique store 

for under $20.00 to make a window panel, 

but I want to crochet my own!  

(It could be a while before I complete this WIP) :-)

Other than that, I'm working on 2 different afghans, 

a scarf, a table runner, and 

2 different doilies.

Hum...maybe I need to complete these WIP's before I start another. 

How about you?  Are you good at finishing one project before 

starting something else?
