It is very nice having several different thinkgs going at one. I crochet beanies for the military. I am currently making beaded christmas ornaments. Then my quilts....and then I like to make banners for the holicays.....If I get bored with one I put it aside.
I also find it is a good time to put your sewing space in order, cut up, put away, organize...and you ususally find something that interests you that you had forgotten you had.
