How many unfinished projects do you have?

CountryMom · 01-08-2002, 01:01 PM

Okay, I'll admit it I sometimes (okay a lot of the times) start projects and don't finish them.

I have at least a half a dozen unfinished cross stitch projects. Including my kids birth announcements and our wedding certificate.

I have sewing projects that I started for my dd when she was a baby that have yet to be finished. Someday I will turn then into quilts.

When I started soap making I bought wayyyyy to much essential oils (like 25 kinds). Eventually I will use them all (I hope) but I did get carried away.

So fess up, what is unfinished at your house?

I have a large glass peice that I started over the summer-its a copy of a Frank Lloyed Wright window design, that I saw in a book, made a enlarged pattern for and did with the liquid leading and paint. I'm about 75% done-and not thrilled about the results, so it's on the back burner.
Most of my other projects are either gifts, so they have to get done on time, or to fill some void, I'm currently working on 75 little wooden houses that will be my invitations for my housewarming party. Last week I refinished my stepson's dresser and made a matching bedskirt--I hated the dresser and the bed needed it-I couldn't afford a new dresser and he's too hard on regular furniture and linens to make them practical. I find that if I'm just doing it without a specific reason I'm more likely to drop it 1/2 way through.

Too many. I am like Jersey Girl, unless I am making it for a specific purpose, it just doesn't get done. The biggie right now is a needlepoint picture of hydrangeas, my favorite flower. The main problem with that is I don't needlepoint.

Along with the unfinished projects, there are so many I never even started

I have so many craft supplies!

. Sometimes, I don't even remember why I bought those items

. I guess the project sounded interesting at that time.

Okay I admit it. I also have tons of supplies in my craft closet that I bought thinking "Oh, I could do so many different things with this." Yeah right.

CountryMom · 01-13-2002, 11:09 PM

Oh yeah, I have tons of supplies too. I really need to clean out some of my sewing stuff.

I keep thinking I would like to start quilting and scrapbooking, but then I remeber all of the unfinished projects I have. I can see myself buying a ton of quilting and scrapbooking supplies and never using them. Oh well, maybe someday.

I am the "queen" of unfinished projects. You name it, I have it in my craft closet. I love to buy, but not do I guess. My newest endever is quilting and scrapbooking. Joann fabrics should see me coming and close the door. Some day, when I am not chasing kids, I might have time to do all the things I want to do,
