It only took 5 years to finish!!!

I am not a knitter really.  I have never knitted a garment or pair of socks. I knit small things, I think I knit slowly and so for me my projects progress very slowly , where I like to see results quickly (says she with still far to many works in progress!!!)

I have this week however finished something.....and it is something I knitted and finished 5 years ago and I know when it was because our lovely Dextie inspired it and I knitted it the winter  of 2010 when he came into our lives.

Finally I dug it out in the great craft room saga and found the buttons which I had especially bought for it and the Dalmatian fabric.

This is what I found.
I decided on the red fabric
......

Added the wadding
and fabric
Red elastic tabs


Big spotty buttons



and at last my spotty 
dally coffee pot cosy.



And this little lot 
is the last hurdle 
In my craft room saga.


I am so bored of sorting now
I lost my mojo 
To be honest.
Thursday and Friday 
are marked on my planner
as 
"Finish it or else!"
days

I just want to get on with proper 
crafting now.
I stomp into the annex like
a spoilt, sulking , teenager...
I don't want to tidy and put away 
(I never did like doing my bedroom either)
I just wanna play and have fun!!
I know it is going to worth it
and the fun will soon begin..
Already I have seen the difference .
It is lovely to pretty much have a
home for everything....
and more importantly 
know where everything is.....

Right!
I have just over. 2 hours before the kids 
Come home from school.
Where's the annex key???
I could sit and read 
Some magazines but 
No I am going to use the 
time 
productively.


See you soon

Xxxx.

    I know exactly how you feel Maria. I need my shelves putting up in my craft room, but I see I'm going to have to do them myself or I'll never get the rest of my goodies tidied away.
    I'm loving your coffee pot cosy. I love spots xxx
