WIPs
I have a bunch of WIPs (Works in Progress). In fact, I have so many, it warranted a container purchase to store them all. It's not a giant container, but it is a little overwhelming at times. I don't know why I keep starting new projects when I have older ones waiting to be finished. I even think I've heard, "Lera, finish me, pleeeeeeeeeease," coming from the box.
Some projects are older. Like the brown corduroy pants I started after Sawyer was born. I started them in October. And they didn't fit. So I left them. Unfinished. I think it's high time to finish them. Or I could put it off until the weather is a little cooler ... (It's a slippery slope, I tell ya.)And the Strawberry Shortcake backpack I started for Spenser during a snow storm. Yep. Still waiting, too.
And the pile of totes (one from leftover fabric of my black and white skirt and bib). And the shirt (I don't think I ever blogged I was making that one. Does it still count?). And the short-sleeved jacket. And the monster trees waiting to me made into something. And the shirts to be appliqued. And all the mending. Or at least some of the mending.
I think the oldest WIP is the pants, although I could be wrong. They've been waiting almost a year. How about you? How old is your oldest WIP?

And the other day we found the crib bumper that I started for Eliot. He's been out of the crib for a year and a half.
If I don't finish a project for some reason, I toss it. But that is pretty rare.
I also have several pieced quilt squares from at least that long, and a maternity jumper cut out from when I was pregnant with P (now 18 months).
And... that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are too many to list!
my longest craft WIP is a quilt (twin size) that took about 4.5 years.
After about a year, I realized that I needed to find someone else to make it for.
No wait....a tree skirt that I started when we still rented a house. We moved out in 2000. So that's my oldest WIP. It's 7 years old. Mmmmm maybe I should finish it this year.
