I divided my WIPs into ones that I wanted to finish before Christmas (all these are now done except one) and those that I wanted to work on throughout next year - there's a couple of large projects in that lot so it's nice to have smaller things to do in between. It does feel good to gradually be getting them finished.<br /><br />We're all different, and we all have different needs. A quilting friend of mine only works on a project until she feels she has got from it what she needs so she has loads and loads of UFOs that she actually intends never to finish. It wouldn't do for me, but is exactly what she needs from her crafting.<br /><br />You have such a lot of lovely things there though... it would be lovely to get them finished! (IMHO!) :)Janice / Dancing with Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646734271197959581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-40049001319732401542014-12-08T16:11:11.410+00:002014-12-08T16:11:11.410+00:00Goodness!

That would drive me nuts, esp. as so many need such a small amount of work on them (stuffing and sewing up, fitting a clasp etc).<br />I have 3 WIPs at the mo and plan to complete a couple more small things whilst 2 of these are finished. The other will take a bit longer, but is not urgent (or even important!!)Elizabeth Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067860880479674275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-23637264364595752162014-12-06T15:46:01.463+00:002014-12-06T15:46:01.463+00:00I try to make sure that my projects include a big ...I try to make sure that my projects include a big one, a small one, knitting and crochet. I don't usually get bored. But I think I just have the sort of mind that likes to plough on and finish something. I also don't have the space to store lots of WIPs. Good luck with finishing some of yours.Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398380737025120541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-52877087513491728102014-12-06T02:44:17.944+00:002014-12-06T02:44:17.944+00:00Since our move, I've unpacked WIPs that I didn...Since our move, I've unpacked WIPs that I didn't even remember I had... three years can make the memory a bit foggy... lol!! I've decided that 2015 is going to be another year of getting things done because in addition to the WIPs, I've got a large nine drawer dresser stuffed full with fabric.
