I still can't believe you actually sit down and listed them. I can't see how it is anyone's business how many unfinished projects I have. My DH would never want to say anything to me to make me feel bad over something so trivial.

At least you have a life, and an interesting one! Starting things, even if you don't finish them is still a lot better than being glued to the TV. Or not doing anything at all. Not that I don't TV...but I often wonder how people just sit and stare at it...there are a few mysteries that I do have to watch a bit more closely, but a lot of stuff I 'watch', I am more listening to and doing something else at the same time.

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?


My hubby would have been sent to the barn, without supper!

My Hubby would never DARE say anything to me! One word out of his mouth and I will walk outside and open the garage door, then take him downstairs and show him the downstairs bathroom then..... 'nuff said.

I am so not going there. NO listing ever again. I get even LESS accomplished. For me, the enjoyment comes from picking the pattern, finding the fabrics and piecing the quilt top. The whole ending is up for debate. I usually get tired of the whole thing by the time the top is finished. So, when I'm bored with what is on my bed or I need a gift, that's usually when I'll pull a top out and quilt it. Truly, I really would love to see more finished tops. I guess I should probably do something about that. But, then, I see another pattern I want to try. (Do you see where this is going. :D lol)

Other then work, spend time with the furr kids, visits to my grandson, read, (A very beginner knitter.) I do enjoy getting lost in the rhythm. I really don't have a ton of other hobbies. Which is probably a good thing. (I'm not sure I have the time or money.)

Long story short, Do what makes you happy! :) Enjoy, now, where are those crochet hooks.

Thanks for sharing ladies. I so enjoy your stories.

Standing up, my name is Lisa and I have a fabric addiction and I like to sometimes (ok more than sometimes) start projects and not finish them. Sitting back down.


i would like to add that after cleaning up my sewing area and organizing just about everything that is in it (lol disclaimer I did not organize the stuff that's in bins in our storage area). I decided that I really needed to add binding and/or finish the bindings on the ufos that I was storing. I brought those up to do at night while watching tv w hubby and oh my they got done! Yippee!

Oh, my...where to begin.....I have so many projects started....Crochet that I started so long ago that I should donate so it can be finished. My daughter got me into making beautiful jewelry and now I have tons of goodies that just sit in boxes. I enjoy the quilting most of all, but I get bored with the one that I am working on and start another. I have so much fabric that I don't think I will ever use it all. I have tried to get my daughter interested in quilting so I can give some to her, but she's just not interested. I have even offered to buy her a new machine. Sounds like we are all in the same boat. But isn't it fun! :D
