    My children and family made me ADD. I used to complete what I was doing but now...they call me away demanding attention for this and that....they are all adults...worse than my babies ever were.
    LOL!!!

    I do not consider myself ADD, but I tend to do a couple of projects at a time. It gets boring to keep doing the same pattern over and over so I like to switch things up.

    I also have more than one project on the go no matter what I do. So you are not alone ... Love your fabric picks.

    I'm not ADD and I will have a few projects in motion at the same time. Sometimes I am too tired to sew (late p.m. after work) but I want to sew. Having a few projects to choose from will (most often) make me go to my Happy Room when I'm tired. Once I'm there, I'm doomed to suffer from lack of sleep the next day:)

    I have ADD. But I just thought everybody had multiple projects going! I'm actually doing pretty well with that, at the moment- am on a mission to get one thing finished ASAP.

    I like the variety having more than one project going at a time. It helps to have an easy one to go to when the tedious one is driving me crazy!

    Don't think I have ADD, either, but I've found after working like crazy on my Dear Jane for a while it's good to switch gears and work on my ongoing applique project, or even a simpler, quicker project. DJ, like your Farmer's Wife is all very tiny pieces and some can get very tedious. I think switching off keeps us from getting bored with one thing and then putting it on the UFO shelf.

    You described me...almost. I flit between different quilting projects in different phases and then I'll sit down and knit for a little bit or spin up some more yarn and then head back to quilt on the long arm machine. The one good thing that comes from this 'method' or 'approach' is that about three years I finished over a dozen knitting projects, beading projects and two quilts in about a six month span. People thought I was super-woman and I had to actually get back onto my blog and 'confess' that they were all projects I had been working on for a couple of years. It just felt great seeing so many projects come to an end...but then...I have the habit of starting just as many projects...it a cycle in perpetual motion that will last for decades!

    I think I do that too. The "tedious" blocks take such attention and time that I feel the need to do something "quick."
