If it's a sickness I'm definitely infected. Lots of UFO's but then there's always a project to work on. If I get tired of one project I can move to another one. Eventually things get finished. I hate to impose deadlines on myself. Too many years in the workplace having to meet arbitrary deadlines.

He made me sit down with a pencil and paper and list everything I have started and not finished.......
So, with that being said.....I have 6 quilts started in various stages, 11 Christmas ornaments started in various stages, 4 cross stitch projects in various stages, 11 safety pin beaded watches (got all the stuff haven't started yet), a quilted table runner and 4 matching placemats kit, and now I want to start a crochet project. (In my defense I have the yarn already)!
Is this a sickness? Do I need intervention? He was being cute, but it did make me stop and think that maybe I need to focus on finishing things!
Anyone else have this problem?

Perhaps you and I both have an undiagnosed underlying condition, or we just get bored and want to move on..... lol
FYI.... I sat down and made myself a list. I have 33 unfinished quilting projects (my WIP's - Works in Progress) and over 100 kits of material with the pattern that are now on my UFO list because everything is there to make the project, except me. I have sworn that I will not go nuts at the International quilt festival in Houston again this year! Oh, did I mention that I also crochet and have a few of those UFO's too and several big boxes of various threads and yards?

So I find a lot of things to make up both happy lol

So if you don't want the finished "whatever" give it away unless you need to fill space with these boxes.
I will admit after a while this summer it got crazy because I was sewing things in colors and patterns I didn't like.
Oh well I just had to add from another perspective.
