UFO's

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!
