I have so many unfinished projects lying around that I'll probably never complete them all in my lifetime. And not only that but I buy for new projects because I just have to get the perfect yarn/fabric for it this very moment. But really, how many shawls can a person knit/crochet in a lifetime? How many quilts can someone actually finish while working full-time? Not nearly as many as I have lined up! I'm trying to fight the urge and finish things up but it is slow going.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669564845596487119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001762609422751985.post-69813959015366444152015-06-09T12:54:17.437+02:002015-06-09T12:54:17.437+02:00Don't worry, I think it's a common crafter...Don't worry, I think it's a common crafter problem!

I have lost count of the unfinished projects, they get stuffed in the corner next to the sofa. It's only when you lay it all out in front of you, that you see the extent of your problem! It's so much fun though, I wouldn't change, that's how the creative process works for me.

I have promised myself I have to finish something now before I can start anything new. I spent today organizing yarns and projects so I can keep a handle on them and I have to finish some items because they are presents that will be needed next month. There's something about me though that enjoys the pressure? Sick, I know but I usually manage to rise to the occasion and get them done but then after that I start a bunch more! LOL! As long as you are enjoying yourself what's the harm? But I REALLY love that 2 color granny square...the one you want to give to the thrift store! I'll be making one of those for sure. It's so retro....colors and all! LOVE! You go girl! You are very talented and creative and you make beautiful things.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001762609422751985.post-35777153617589630772015-06-09T00:20:10.167+02:002015-06-09T00:20:10.167+02:00I have many projects, of all categories, crochet, ...I have many projects, of all categories, crochet, knitting, cross stitch, sewing, quilting....I cannot even keep to one discipline!!!!! It stops me getting bored though. I have officially stopped worrying about it. My trick is to pack the many projects into many places and try to concentrate on one at a time. Knitting at the kitchen table, quilting in front of the TV, sewing in my room.....the house is dotted with my many moods and sometimes I actually finish a thing.😁Susan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14282598209734296568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001762609422751985.post-59958909033894743492015-06-09T00:14:26.047+02:002015-06-09T00:14:26.047+02:00They say that creative minds are always untidy ......They say that creative minds are always untidy ... something like this happens to us all! but I will to try not to have more than two projects started ... because so then then I'm nervous ... but everyone has his methods! all projects are very beautiful.

You have children and a hubby. We wait here & there for appointments/picking up people/ getting ready to go somewhere ........ I guess I am a curious person & want to know how something goes together!! Once I figure out the process, the work of finishing begins!! I have just learned to go with the flow. You will have more time to get back to a project when the kids are older. I spent tons of time with my kids, but managed to sneak in creative moments. I am now working through some of these bags of stuff I have had. First, it makes me smile to remember what was going on when I worked on the project. Second, I usually learned something from each project. Third, I have to decide to keep going or start over. most of my materials I work with are not super expensive & I can repurpose them!! Fourth, I now have a grandchild and he will receive things I did not get done for his Dad. This is my hobby & my life. Some days I just love to sit around my stuff & know I will never be without. Some days I feel overwhelmed , but it usually goes away fast!! Hugs to Luca. Don't judge yourself so harshly ( there are many people out there that will do it for you ). Play & enjoy. This time will not last forever.

I think that's how ideas come, when we are being creative. Sometimes I can be discipline and finish one project before starting another, but not very often, or unless it's a gift and a deadline is approaching.lol Good luck!

It also helps that I love to cross off a FO from my list and gift the item to the intended recipient. Maybe that is the key - finding something on the finishing side that is just as appealing as the starting side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7001762609422751985.post-29964274608160714132015-06-08T14:04:38.702+02:002015-06-08T14:04:38.702+02:00I'm so glad to see this and to read all those ...I'm so glad to see this and to read all those comments ;D It means I'm not alone haha<br />It's not the feeling of getting started for me I think...
