Sometimes it is as simple as cleaning up your stash. Go through your scraps and turn them into squares you can use--if big enough for strips 2.5 inches seems to be a really good size. Same with bigger stuff, use the layer cakes, etc. in size as a good jumping off place. I find when I play, I often get inspired. Finishing things--well, that's discipline. I find I finish things pretty well, around Christmas! They become gifts. I also try and get a head start by completing a few projects that I can give as gifts. I am afraid though that you have become bored with your projects. Many of us do, and they often become UFO's. Either decide that you are going to finish, maybe plan 1 a week or a month until you finish(or put them in your UFO stash thinking you may get around to it). Too bad we don't have little elves to come along and finish these projects!
