UFO sightings (and not)

So I figured out something as I looked at my UFO list yesterday. I have a lot of UFOs. (Okay, we all knew that. Hush.) The majority of them can be divided into three categories: (1) too big/heavy to haul around; (2) involving complex beading/tweeding that doesn't travel well and (3) "I can't see the bloody thing but I know it's in here somewhere." (Quite a few projects are in more than one category, mostly because I know they're in the craft room... somewhere. If I actually get around to moving the Huge Pile of Boxes that's taken over the floor in there, I'd probably be able to put my paws on 90% of the listed items within five minutes. It's that "moving the Huge Pile of Boxes" thing that's causing the problem.) The annotated list of projects is presented below. Items in bold I can both find *and* are small enough to carry around. Items with an asterisk (*) I can find, but there's a part missing or about to run out.

  1. Holy crap!

    Our local baseball team is named the Voyagers because of the high concentration of UFO sightings in Central Montana. They got nuthin' on you, baby!


    Really, I'm proud of you for fessing up to it. I don't allow my basement to be photographed because of my sewing tornado aftermath.
