UFO's

Anyone who does any kind of crafting knows what UFO's are.  UnFinished Objects.  I have so many of these.  Some may never get done.  I have lost interest in seeing them completed.  Others I pick up and do a little on them, just to keep them moving forward.  Then, a new idea comes along and whoosh, I'm gone again in another direction.

I try to look at the reason for the UFO's.  Sometimes, there is just a small part of me that makes me want to do a project.  Maybe I'm not fully committed to it.  One thing for sure is if I really like something it is all I work on until it is done.  Some projects are just too big.  Sometimes, I need a deadline.  Like when I made quilts for my sisters.  When I commit to something like that, and I tell someone I'm doing it, I have to power through until it is done.



The heart quilt took me 4 years to finish, but I LOVE it!  So my goal for this year is to finish some of those UFO's from past years.  I have already done a few.  And with each one I complete, it gives me hope for the future of the others.

I'm also committed to finishing up UFOs this year - I've just about got one top finished (started circa 1998) and am working on two others! Love the stool! Thanks so much for posting on my iron post! So glad you stopped by my blog!

Are these the squares you were working on this morning when I called?

Yes Susan. This is my Babette Blanket that I have been crocheting for nearly 2 years. Home stretch now.

Love the hearts. Looks like a good quilt for scraps.
