.... the tough do some finish work or other project that doesn't require knitting needles. While my knitting mojo is apparently on an unscheduled leave of absence, I still have LOTS to do on almost-finished projects for the book. Like a lot of knitters I know, I get about 95% done with a project and then leave it for what seems like forever before I finally get around to doing the finishing work, even if it's just 10 minutes of seaming. I don't know why, since it never takes as long as I think it will, but I just can't seem to stop dragging my feet. I have the same problem paying my household bills every month -- it takes 10 minutes online but I have the worst time making myself sit down to do it. Ditto folding the clean laundry. And unloading the dishwasher. Oh well, I've decided it's just one of my charming quirks.
So while I await the return of my missing mojo, I'm finishing up some of those last details. Here's a little peek at my very cute, if I do say so myself, Magnolia Tea Cozy. Felted flowers, embroidered and appliqued felt leaves and bead embellished needlefelting that looks like birthday cake icing swirls. Mmm, birthday cake is my all-time-favorite breakfast. But I digress. The tea cozy is such a great project and fun and girly and elegant and and practical and oh-so-Southern. And it's completely
finished. Hmmmm..... maybe my mojo needs to stay gone for awhile.
