hmm yes, moi :o(
I have been spending virtually all my spare time over the last couple of weeks cutting out and sewing ... but somehow managing to get very little finished!
I seem to have completely lost the ability to focus on one thing for long enough to get it done.
My dining room table is covered in piles of triangles which will one day become bunting.
On top of my ironing board is a little pile of purses with the zips sewn in, but all flappy and open round the edges.
On my office desk are some pegs which are half painted pink ... once they are fully painted they will be used to peg up the bunting (which may or may not be complete!)
Spread out on the spare bed are bag pieces awaiting the sewing machine's attention, and random fabric scraps which are intended to become patchy lavender bags.
On the sofa next to me ... in a big dish more usually used for serving up vegetables when we have guests round to eat(!) ... is a pile of felt shapes in various stages between just being pieces of felt, and being felt brooches.
I somehow need to get all these things finished over the weekend because on Monday evening I have a stall at a charity do, and I need some stuff to sell!
Rather that show you photos of all my unfinished mess these photos are of the few things which are complete!
8 little bags! If nothing else it proves I can still finish things if I really put my mind to it.
So now I must stop starting and start finishing.

I have the opposite problem. I finish things then find it really hard to decide what to do next. Maybe we should work together, lol
ReplyDeleteMy problem is I sometimes can't get started.
ReplyDeleteI think you need the help of the little 'elves' to help you get your stuff together. Go down to the bottom of your garden and give them a shout. It worked for the shoe maker so it may work for you.... I know that feeling of being out of control as I have a charity lunch to prepare for (Christian Aid) tomorrow and was supposed to have bags for sale as well, but unfortunately or fortunately which ever way you look at it most have been sold and I have not been able to make more - perhaps I could use those elves myself.. Have a good weekend and good luck for Monday.
ReplyDeleteOh yes unfinished projects, the bain of a creative persons life :) I thinkit doesnt help that we can become so side tracked with everything else going on or we think of a new idea that has to be started right now this very minute and then all the half started stuff gets left for you to feel guilty enough that you will go back to it and finish what you started...I have only just got to see my ironing board earlier on today for the first time in weeks...strange how it became another surface in which to store things?
