Finishing What You Start




This is a lesson that I try to teach the boys.  Life demands that you finish what you start.  When W wanted to quit football half way through the season, the answer was no.  Why - because you finish what you start.  Same with H wanting to drop band.  Unfortunately, this rule is more a do as I say, not as I do rule.  Now, it doesn't apply to everything...just my craft projects.  I have half complete scrapbook pages, half of a knitted scarf, handmade Christmas card designs that I have never mailed...you get the point.  So when I started knitting a blanket for the studio last week, I'm sure that all the boys in the house laughed a little, assuming it would end up in the craft cabinet, still on the loom, months later - half done.  Not the case!  This is my finished blanket, bound off the loom and ready to be used in the studio.  I was so excited to finish it that I ran out and bought two more colors of yarn to make two more blankets.  Check back to see if I get them done...and if I don't, no one will be surprised.
