Today I decided that this is IT - the end! Finito!!! Over and OUT! I am DONE with having a ton of projects on the go all at once - I want to turn over a new leaf - begin anew - be a BETTER crafter and FINISH things!
WIPs (works in progress) invariably turn into UFOs (UnFinished Objects) in my home, and for some reason, this is OK to me! Until now! I had a friend over, and she commented on how much knit and crochet I have in every room in my house - I concurred - I DO have lots of handmade things in my lovely domicile - but then I opened the hallway linen closet - and showed her my collection of unfinished things! I wish I had videotaped her reaction -her face a combination of awe and disgust as she ran her fingers through three 75% complete Mr Flurry snowmen, about 75 tawashi that really only need the ends woven in, and don't even get me started on the dishcloths! There is a gorgeous baby sweater (Peach Blossom ) that is complete except for one tiny detail - I need to make the frog closures and put them on - a 15 minute job at best, but still, somehow I got bored with the cute little thing and it was delegated to "the closet of doom". a granny square afghan that is ALMOST done, a Christmas mitred square afghan that needs sewing together, granny square bags, and crochet snowflakes! I skip and flit along merrily from project to project - starting with an abundance of enthusiasm, until something else catches my eye and then I'm off again - casting on and chaining to my hearts' content, not even looking back on the neglected things in the closet!
So! Today I decided that I was going to take pictures of ALL my WIPs and UFOs and post them in my Ravelry album, so they would be there to inspire me to finish them! And wouldn't you know it - I got bored with taking pictures of all the darned things - so now my WIP/UFO album itSELF is a WIP/UFO!
Sigh - what's a girl gonna do? Maybe I need Ritalin? Here are some things I have started and NEED to finish - someday - soon - maybe!!!
