I have a dirty little secret. One that weighs on me far too many times. I am revealing it now. The boulevard of unfinished projects. Some - trying something new. Some - require a button or a pin. Others - purchased kits never to be tackled. Oh, how I hate this! I laid out some of them here. Yes, there are others. Oh the shame!
Here we have a cable-knit wrap for around my neck. It just requires two buttons. I did it two years ago! Oh and look - a felted sweater I know is going to make a great fall purse (if I could only find leather handles that match). And another purse form I knit out of thick cotton. It needs handles as well.
Here we have a collection of fabric and felt to be made into rings. It was a great idea...last year!
This one is shameful. I thought I could teach myself to crochet and make a cute bag from a kit. Nope. And my bowl of felted balls - they were to be made into a necklace ...
Speaking of necklaces. Here is a bowl of very expensive stones that I made into a long chain a few years back. The chain broke but it has been on my to-do craft list for a couple of years now. Just beside that two cute linen pouches I made up - looking for the snap frames to be glued on!
Yes ... I admit it - sometimes I move onto another project before I finish the current one. I must get to these soon - maybe the shame of posting these will get me going.
I can only hope ...
I have a dirty little secret….I'm just as bad. I too stare at projects that can be compete easily. I also need to throw things away that I don't like but I always thing "I can do something with it…up cycle it" and I don't. I have a neighbor who efficiently tosses anything that could be clutter and only does projects she can complete in an evening. How I wish I could do it a little like her. I just found your blog- via Amy's Inspire, and I am in love- I am always desperately searching for crafters who INSPIRE me…I'm an advanced crafter who has dabbled in everything so I need crafters who craft on my level or above and there are so few. Thank you for being one of them. I LOVE Ms. Martha but she caters to the beginning more and more and it drives me nutso. I loved her back in the day before the studio audience. The magazine still gives me inspiration but I could do with half the cooking and twice as much crafting. I shall be back…every post….
