More Partially Done Projects


It's okay to call me crazy, 

I have three projects 

that I'm working on 

and ready to start a 4th.


 

I just can't seem to figure out 

what I want to do 

with any of them

 to make a finished piece. 




Hopefully taking time to think 

about it will bring me 

to a conclusion.



 

I do hope you're all 

having a wonderful day 

and that you're not 

as scatterbrained as I am. 




Grace be with you all

Your blogging sister,

 Connie :)

  5. I love the final picture! Especially the little Bluebird! That makes it extra special to me, since we have bluebirds here working on building their nest finally. (I think!). Very sweet design. You are very talented!

    1. I'm glad you like it, I just look at it and see things that I wish I'd have done different.

  6. Not crazy at all. I've had multiple projects going on at the same time before. I'm sure however you choose to finish them they will be spectacular.

  7. I don't think you're scatterbrained; I think you just have so many good ideas in your head that sometimes it's hard to concentrate on just one thing! I love this with the Ball jar and colorful flowers.

    1. Thank you, I'm really not that happy with it. Hopefully I can tweak it a bit here and there until I am.

  11. Hi Connie! How pretty that is. I would never think of making it as I don't have much of an imagination. I'm a direction follower but don't come up with things on my own much. I hope it's warming up for you there like it is here in Nebraska. Take care my friend.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    1. I'm more of a design as I go girl. I have people say, "you should make patterns and sell them", but I could never stop to figure out a pattern; that would take all the fun out of it. 😊 It was so pretty today that I got outside and worked in the yard for around 4 hours. The sun felt so good :)

  12. Intriguing. We will all be "watching this space" to see what you come up with on these projects.

  13. Your flower arrangement is so pretty, would make a pretty wallhanging or framed picture, or if it is big enough a small lap quilt

    1. I hope I figure out what I want to do with it soon. Before long I'll be spending all my time outside in the yard and my sewing will have to get put on the back burner.

  14. If you're having a good time with your projects, that's maybe the purpose of them. Using your creativity.

    1. I absolutely agree. If this ever gets to be a chore it's time to quit.

  15. Your projects all look very lovely. It's a bit frustrating to not know for sure what to do. I imagine just posting about it has helped you come up with a plan for them. You are such a wonderfully creative person! Many blessings to you!

    1. It's not hard to do, just one step followed by another, and a other. Thank you for your sweet comment.

  17. I haven't done any embroidery for years and years. But I knit every day. I'm not telling how many projects I have on the needles :)

    1. I know what you mean . . . I sometimes get bored with a project or it becomes stressful and I just need to have a couple more going to fall back on. One of the good things about having hand-sewing projects is that I can watch TV and work on a project and it takes away the desire to snack while watch TV.

  18. Not crazy at all to have more than one project going, it's what keeps us from getting bored with just one;)

  19. Hi Connie.. I miss this post and a newer one too! You sound like me... I'm so scatterbrained too! too many projects going all at once, and I get bored with one and then go on to the other.. never finishing any of them! Your quilt looks darling.. love all the little flowers and the Ball jar! You are so creative! I say... you go girl and have as many projects going as you want to! You do YOU and whatever you want is just fine. That talent is just spilling out all over.. that's all it is! Hugs.. Marilyn

    1. You're so sweet. I do enjoy having several things going at once because sometimes you get frustrated with what you're working on and then you can take a break and go to something else. Sometimes all it takes is a break and then when you get back to the first project you're ready to go again. Life is short so why not do all that we can.
