When her mother died 14 years ago she was in the middle of doing an afghan rug for her youngest grandson. His mother wasn't going to do it, so Miss E volunteered - and guess what? Its UFO status remains unaltered and grandson is 28 years old. Don't know that he would still be interested in a crocheted afghan rung - but Miss E now lives in the cooler climes of Melbourne and winter is drawing in. Miss E is at least starting to think that maybe she should give it a go - and most of the credit will have to go to all you craft blogging gals who make Miss E feel so lazy and clumsy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972285659958872775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19109982.post-1146993882899476332006-05-07T19:24:00.000+10:002006-05-07T19:24:00.000+10:00Miss Eagle, I have a cupboard full of other people...Miss Eagle, I have a cupboard full of other people's UFOs (we won't go into my own..), and as I add each new find to my collection, I wonder about the person who started stitching the item, but never to finish it. Maybe like my MIL, they started working on their glory box, but after they got married and had babies, there just wasn't enough time. Or perhaps they were started by someone who would have finished them, but died suddenly. Or maybe, like me - they just had to have everything they saw in the shops, and when they realised they would never have the time to finish everything, hoped to rediscover the UFOs in their next six incarnations!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19109982.post-1146470823700686742006-05-01T18:07:00.000+10:002006-05-01T18:07:00.000+10:00Ms Robyn, Miss Eagle doesn't know who 'they' is/ar...Ms Robyn, Miss Eagle doesn't know who 'they' is/are either. She does know her mother used to pull her hair out with "..but Sister said." Yes Miss Eagle, is the product of the Sisters of Mercy and an Aussie Irish-Catholic education.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05972285659958872775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19109982.post-1146466684074569592006-05-01T16:58:00.000+10:002006-05-01T16:58:00.000+10:00I have always wondered who 'they' were. they said ...I have always wondered who 'they' were. they said this or they said that would happen ...
