I am hoping I am not alone, for that would make me "The Queen of Unfinished Projects". When I moved last summer, I re-organized all my sewing/quilting/craft projects. I admit to getting bored with what I am working on, start something new...If I never start anything new again, I don't know if I honestly could finish all these partially done projects in my lifetime...Well, not quite that bad. More like, if I set out about this task right now, I would have more then enough gifts for next Christmas, something for everyone. Am I the only one? Deb  |

Naw, I'm starting to think the folks that DO finish their projects are the odd ones!!  Does that sound like a good rationalization for my procrastination-'they're the ones with a problem; the rest of us are A-ok!!'  I still have a cross stitch Christmas project that I started in 1974 and it's still not done!!  Now that's procrastination!!! ;D |

Thank you, Kathy. That makes me feel a bit better. I think it's more that I would rather be working outside if the weather is anything above freezing. Deb

Well,, I spin yarn. Now have lots of it. Other having one of my Great Aunts make Hubby a sweater. I Haven't been able to make the rest of the yarn into anything else yet.
Love spinning, is such a peaceful thing to do!!
Also have a counted Cross stitch I have been working on for 10+ years. Cute little garden with a bird bath and a sort'a hidden cat. Might be 70 years old before I finish it. <LOL>
Did finish the painting of the penguin. Felt good about that.
Have picked out what I want to paint next,, but haven't started it yet.

I must posativly "oridanary!!" :D Kaza Thank you for your confidence, but I still know I am quilty, Kaza. I so needed to hear that. My girls tease me all the time about that, not just with my quilting and crafting, but my home improvement projects. I seem to get bored or restless, or as I prefer to call it...inspired. They clear their throat as they say at 9:30 at night...Ah, Mom, you are taking out another wall...Why don't you finish this other project first? Because I am in the mood...That's all. My worst haunting thought...What if someday I die and someone has to inherit all my unfinished business? Each new year, I vow I will turn over a new leaf, yet, it never quite seems to happen. Deb |

Hi guys! None of you are alone in any of this. I actually have a zillion projects to finish and more in my head to start. I think my oldest unfinished object (UFO) is a sweater I designed and began knitting for my now ex husband about 1 year before we got divorced. It is a beautiful Salish Indian Sweater I designed and everything on it is finished except 1 3/4 sleeves. Somewhere in the way back of my mind I think if I finish it I will have to give it to him, NO WAY!!!! It fits me perfectly, so I really need to finish it and begin wearing it. Only problem is I can't find what I did with the decrease sequence of the sleeves, darn. I may have to re-figure the whole thing.
So, nope you're not alone

I'm impressed!!!! ;D I have a closet filled, two baskets in the living room (beside the chair I would sit in if I were to work on them), a large sewing table piled with fabrics, patterns etc... and 3 rubbermaid tubs full of stuff....
