hexagons in progress

[dragonlady7]

The only purple fabric I could easily find in my discards/scraps stash was stretch jersey, and I don't have to know a lot to know that's not really ideally suited to quilting.
So I decided to hand-sew it, along with some other tricky bits and scraps, to some non-stretch backing fabric, the lining of a skirt I deconstructed over the weekend.

I also seamed a too-small scrap of brocade to a strip of unrelated scrap fabric, and then tacked the seam allowance down in gold glitter thread.
So there's my little stash of over-elaborate hexagons for today.
(I remembered to find my scissors and thread, so.)

nebulous "someday" projects that I'm forever collecting things for

I hear that. I've got a small bin of granny squares made from sock yarn. (they're a great little thing to carry around at school that I can work on between classes when I'm not near the office. easy to just stop and drop it in the bag and pick it back up later. and the kids are fascinated by crochet. and knitting).... but I've been doing the squares on and off for... um... probably five years now. And I have yet to do *anything* with the squares beyond rounding them all up into one place.

You know, as long as you just keep them rounded up, eventually you'll be able to do a thing. that's what I'm going for, here.
My problem is that I work on things like this and then lose all the things I made, so I'm like 'well somewhere in my house this thing exists but i don't know where'. I have entire completed embroidery projects that just... I don't know where they went. I did them, i took an in-progress picture, I remember that I finished them, I... don't know what I did then.
I'm trying to not do that, so if I have a reliable Here Is Where I Put Half-Completed Things spot, maybe it won't happen so much.
