NSP's



    NSP's.....admittedly I have alot of them. In the sewing and crafters world Never Started Projects can be a good thing, or so I want my husband to believe. I buy fabrics, patterns, yarn, etc. whenever on sale or with coupon in hand. There they sit on the shelf ready to go. It's nice to be prepared whenever the 'itch to stitch' hits me. With the recent tightening of America's belt my 'stash' has been a lifesaver to me. I have dresses, skirts, suits, hats all waiting to be lovingly put together with minimal numbers of Washington's leaving my wallet. There is one exception - quilts. They require massive amounts of fabric to construct a bed sized one, which is somehow the only size I ever make (we will delve into this weakness at a later date). So with less spare cash quilts are on the back burner- unfortunately.

    
     This is a quilt that my kids helped select the fabrics and lay out the blocks. Hubby even got in on the action by showing the kids different brick patterns that he has installed at customers houses.

P.S. This is the warmest, cuddliest quilt in our home as it's natural cotton batting is encased with super soft flannel which has earned it's desire by everyone- even the cats!


NSP's aren't limited to the craft world. My NSP's also stretch into the backyard (my poor husband) and into the garden and barn and... well you get the idea. Here is where I would like to add the infamous Honey Do List, but unfortunately it's usually accomplished by myself. Hopefully you are more success than I.

Confession: I have no patience when comes to the veggie garden, so in my take prisoners, kick ass, who needs a man spirit I do it myself.

     I want bees so one of my projects this year is to build a top bar hive and maybe get a swarm of bees in there. Hey it can' hurt to reach for the stars right? Crazier things have happened to me and I'm sure you too.
