finish what you started

I am drowning in incomplete projects and I really really really want to start some more. I am trying to discipline myself by giving myself deadlines or requirements before I start another. I have been unsuccessful so far. I am very stubborn sometimes. Instead of motivating myself to complete these projects, it just means nothing is getting done. I supposed doing something, even if its not completing my existing projects is still better than doing nothing, right? (how is that for justification :)) Ok, its weak, I.......will........finish.......this........clutch..........tonight.

Wish me luck.

I feel i'm in good company then, as I too have a problem of not finishing what I start, I have 3 blogs on the go and all of them are in various states of incompletness.

I hear you!

Thank you so much for the kit! It's wonderful!!!! I haven't started it yet, but it's at the top of the list...after I get some of my other incompletes done!

I hear you sister. My most recent idea re incomplete projects, is to put them all in their own plastic bags (see http://annabartlett.blogspot.com/2009/12/creative-space-thursday_10.html) and not let myself start any more projects until they were done. It's sort of worked! Altho I didn't get that Christmas dress done in time - lucky I've got another daughter who may fit into it!

I have a basket FULL of UFO's. grrrr! It happens to everyone. Sometimes I wish I had a little crochet fairy that would come and finish the stuff I gave up on. Did you finish that clutch?

[Karen]

Amber - I didn't! I worked on another unfinished project though (thats a good thing, right?), which is still not done :) Mostly because I keep trying things I don't like and ripping it out to start again.

Hey I am not much better - I have not completed my clutch either!! Don't be so hard on yourself - we are only human.
