"Are you crazy?"



"Are you crazy?" My husband asked me, when he saw me cutting tons of 5" squares, sewing them together to make a big piece, and then again cutting the big piece into 3 1/2" square tilted windmill blocks, over 200 of them.

This made him believe that he's right about patchwork: it's all about cutting big pieces into small pieces and then sew the small pieces into a big piece again, repeat the process if want to make it more complicated.

"Not quite." I said, "Wait and see it finished. You'll know it's worth it."
"When?" He asked.
That question really shut me up. I have so many unfinished projects, who knows when I can finish it.

I have to say that I am also bad about not finishing or sometimes even getting started with my projects. I am a crocheter and sometimes as I am digging through boxes of yarn, I will come across something I started. Sometimes the instructions will not even be with it and I have no idea what I was doing. Right now, I got an idea from some lady who said, she crochets or knits hats all year and then sends them to people who need them. So I already have a garbage bag half full of hats. I've decided that scarves aren't such a bad idea either. Plus some of the hats can be chemo hats....oh my, the possibilities!

A Crochet Wristlet with lining

     One of the great things about crocheting is that it's portable, the supplies - a ball of yarn and a crochet hook - can be easily carried anywhere, making it perfect for crafting on-the-go.  You can even work on your crochet projects while you're waiting in line, on a road trip, or anywhere else you find yourself.       Sometimes I don't have any particular projects in mind, so I crochet pieces just to keep my hands occupied while indulging in other activities such as watching TV, videos, or reading novels. Over time, I've accumulated a collection of pieces. Some I have used soon after completing them, while others have found their way into my stash of unfinished projects (UFP) , which I believe every crafter has.     Recently,  I resolved to finally confront my pile of unfinished projects - a task I have attempted several times before, only to end up with more added to the pile.    While digging through the UFP stash, I came across a rectangular crochet piece that
