Ever start something and end up doing something else completely?

Default Ever start something and end up doing something else completely?

So I was looking for quilt things, really, and I came upon some felt crafts. OMG, they are too cute! So naturally I had to run and buy a few squares of felt and found a little book so I can try my hand at felt toys.

And, I just picked up a new quilt book and bought a few yards of fabric, which have been pushed aside for felt, lol. But hey, it's still sewing...

Have you ever done this? Please confess!

Yes, many times. It's just not right to walk by a cute, new craft and not give it a go.

I like trying all kinds of crafts - keeps life interesting! But quilting is still my favorite.

I do the same thing. You never know what you may try and love. That's how I started quilting. Saw a cute quilt in a fabric store and decided to try making it. Quilting became my passion. How sad it would of been if I didn't try it.

I think I have been guilty of this .... many times. When Lisa Ling started describing her ADHD, I shuddered because through much of it she could have been describing me. scary!!!

I did that with embroidery and bought all kinds of colors of thread...I decided I need to stay away from felt or I'd be buying that up, too. Love what people make with it, though.

Happens all of the time around here. I feel certain that is why I end up with 3-4 things done at the same time. Mariah
