you know, it is funny that we all worry about having ufo's and wip's hanging around. all artists have these. i don't paint or make jewelry but know people who do and they don't really seem as concerned about their unfinished works like quilter's do. wonder why this is.
i, for one, choose to think of these items as part of the artistic process; and, i think you should too. any of our loved ones who feel they have to "help" us make decisions about the process should really get back to their ball game or coin collecting, etc. we will continue to love them but they need to butt out.
