It would seem I am notorious for starting up a multitude of craft projects and never finishing them, mostly because I either lose interest, life interferes, something better comes along or all of the above.
I was reminded of this over the weekend when Deb came to stay and turned a pile of my unfinished quilt blocks and embroideries into wee zippered pouches. One said embroidery I started and finished BEFORE I had the children and it had sat in my PHD basket since then . . .
There are the sewing projects, with the pieces cut out, ready to go, which have never seen the light of my sewing machine:- Hobo Quilts a project started before Mr Z started school, stuffed Easter bunnies from 3 Easters ago and of course, I'm failing to mention the myriad of crochet, knitting and embroidery projects I have started and are patiently waiting completion.
I have made a resolution with myself, I must finish at least one PHD before embarking on a new one ... and ... I have the golden carrot of a new project dangling out there to help keep me motivated.

That is fabulous. I must be the most qualified in the PHD department. I am always starting new things and not finishing what I started (with great enthusiasm of course). But am thrilled that I have a PHD!!
Whereas I cant stand not having things finished! It will feel great to see these things complete :)
You can do it! The problem I have is that something interesting always comes along and gets in the way. I have to start it NOW or I might forget the idea. Good luck with your PHD.
I really should do the same, get a PHD completed before starting on something else. I have lots of stitched pieces not made up into anything. There is never time right? always something new to tempt us. must make the completion of PHDs a new year´s resolution
oh this is me. This summer I am on a mission to finish my PHD this summer. Super good luck to you. (oh but we get new project stuff for Christmas and my December birthday...!)
