Getting Re-acquainted

I don't like unfinished objects hanging around my house. It niggles me. I can't settle happily into any new project knowing there is one waiting to be finished. I suppose I am result-orientated, which until I started crafting, I never knew I was.

I have actually only one UFO in my stash - and if you have been reading me a while you will recognise this as the handsewn quilt I pledged to make for my eldest son. It has been sitting mocking me for over a year. A year. This is simply terrible, but given that every stitch is handsewn I think totally understandable, right?

But I cannot stand it any longer. This quilt must be worked on!

I have taken it out of the dark corner I tried to hide it in, and am flaunting it provocatively within eyeshot, hoping that at least the very sight of it will remind me to at least keep at it.

Here's hoping. And do keep nudging me on this occasionally will you?

I wish I was result orientated.I have 'a few' works in progress! I love hand sewing but you do have to be in the mood.Take it with you everywhere and just do a little when you have chance.

Good idea. I used to do that but fell out of habit (it does get boring...)

I feel the same way! But sadly, I have numerous projects that mock me - some older than 10 years! I have had to make peace with this discomfort in order to carry on knitting, etc. (Seeing your resolve, perhaps I too can clear the desk before I commence anew...may take awhile).

Frog the lot if they are over a yer old!

yes! how liberating it would be!
