There are people who would say I am a focused person. Some would say very focused.
I would say I'm a hot mess and can hardly string two thoughts together without a third interrupting. I think there are meds for this sort of condition...
Back to being focused. I am pretty good about starting and finishing things. I might have a couple projects going on at any one time, but nothing unmanagable.
Then recently it occurred to me. I had begun more projects than I had finished... unfinished objects... AND I was seriously considering starting even more.
I have 3 quilts started. One mostly pieced but is not comning together the way I envisioned so it is stalled waiting for inspiration to strike. One, a vintage piece, which would be really cool with some hand embellishments. And a third I cut out and attempted to conjure up a pattern for over the Christmas holiday.
This doesn't of course count the quilts, yes plural, I have fabric for, but have not yet started.
There are 4 knitting projects in various stages of 'unfinishedness'. Yes, I just made that up. A mohair sweater where the sleeve went wonky and I set it down - for months. A hat. Another sweater, this one with stranded knitting which will take more concentration than I currently have to finish. And finally some yummy, soft merino handwarmers which I began a week and a half ago. I was contemplating a hat to go with them, but have held off starting... so far.
Let's see... there are sewing projects too. I made a couple of little zippered bags for a trip. One to hold my sunglasses, and another to hold all the little knitting tools I seem to leave all over the house. I have more fabric cut out for additional bags. The sunglass case is currently holding crochet hooks, so I need a new case for my glasses. And I have fabric all put together to make cute little lined gift bags as I gave up on paper giftwrap a couple years ago.
Gaaahhhh! (A Dilbertism).
I am going to dedicate the next chunk of time (read 5 minutes) to finish some of my UFO's. And on my honor I will try... not to begin anything new.
Ha!
