With winter being extended I had caught up on projects that I had lined up for the cold weather as well as recovery from surgery. A trip to the walk up attic was needed to store some extra items that we decided did not need to be under foot. It was meant to be. Just a glance at the sewing basket my Mom had given me decades ago jolted my memory. Ah-ha! There was my busy work as I would wait to be outside in the gardens. I am sure that project had been waiting to be re-discovered for a minimum of twenty years.
Busy work to finish out the last of winter.
The project found its way next to my favorite spot in the living room and it came with challenges. I have no idea if I will able to find the coordinating colors to match what has been started as the stash of balls in the sewing basket is far from what will be needed. This may need several road trips with hubby Dennis at the wheel. What size of crochet hook had I used? I did pick at it and I know that over the years my hands have changed with arthritis and I will need to find the correct tension of the yarn as it flows through my fingers after the correct hook is found.
The best part is that the vibrant colors do wonders for these late winter days that can be less than sunny. I know that finishing this will give me a lot of satisfaction. Unfinished projects don’t play out well, especially if they are found in the future by family that has no idea what my intentions were. Finding a home for it after it is finished will be the least of my challenges.
