Three Finished Objects

I spent a large part of today finishing up 3 projects. The first one - a baby bib - only needed to be washed. How funny is that?

The second one - a cloth baby book - just needed the bottom section sewed shut and then the 3 "pages" sewn together and the end threads hidden away inside.

The third on - a doily - was the toughest. I only needed to sew the lace on around the edge. I fought with it for about 5 hours. Got out my sewing machine. Took my sewing machine apart to try and figure out why it wouldn't sew correctly and eventually decided to try zigzag stitch instead of straight stitch. That worked beautifully, but it's not as pretty as a straight stitch would have been. All that after trying several ways to get the lace pinned on evenly. It's still not what I had hoped it to be (perfect), but I like it. I did the cross-stitch on this probably 6 years ago, maybe even 7. Wow!

So - 3 finished objects today. Three objects that could and should have been finished literally years ago!

As I was digging through stuff to find these, I found several more that I need to finish. Sigh. What are they doing in those boxes - multiplying?? :-)

It feels good to get them done. Yes, yes it does!
