I'm glad to have you guys here to listen, also. I needed to put this into words and maybe get my focus back. :? And mine aren't even handpieced so I don't have that excuse. :!:
I find that most of the time I stall on a project because of something I don't like about it or after starting it, I might not care too much for it:)But,here's what I do to keep on track...I put my project w/book(or pattern), fabric and what is done on this...all in a basket or plastic container...I then label w/paper on the outside what it is...then stick on a sticky note on the label what may either need to be done (such as...binding...need fabric for border, etc) That way when I run to a fabric store,etc I pull the sticky note and will finish that one project:) Most of my UFO's are something simple to finish...and, I might have been bored w/it so up it was put away (but, still in sight!)...then I make myself about every 6m or so clean up all those loose ends:)Skeat This works out great too if you want to work on blocks one day and applique the next...
