My Name Is Leslie and I Am A....

PROJECT HOARDER.  I have a terrible habit of starting projects, putting them down when I make a mistake, walk away to think a while, forget about the project and start another project.  Basically I see something shiny, which in this case is anything fabric, paper, scissor, marker or glue related, and I abandon my harder projects for something easier.  Then the easier project becomes harder and then...well...you know the rest.  To date (and that is what I can see in the piles of crap on the floor, table, chair and ironing board), I have 12 unfinished projects.  These are the projects that I actually want to finish.  I guess this is where a list of priority projects would come in handy...which is defined as organization.  Everything comes back to organization.  I can't help myself. 

Here are some of my unfinished projects:


Overnight Bag that I thought I could finish on a Sunday afternoon.



A Vest made out of lace and knit.



Two Skirts that I have taken upon my self to refashion.

A Wreath that needs more flowers.

My other projects include the Crescent Skirt and Renfrew Top that I have sewn once and unpicked once, an Embroidered Creation, the Sorbetto top that I am currently dismantling, a pair of shorts that I started at least 2 years ago, and of course Organizing my Sewing Area.

Are you a project hoarder? What type of projects have you left unfinished? Maybe you should try and finish them... ☺

May Is For...

What in the world happened to April?  I know it was here, but it went way too fast.  So I guess it is on to May without a say (that rhymed).  Here is my list:

 I still have not finished the Crescent Skirt and Renfrew Top and I still have not started a new Sorbetto Top, so those three items are still on the list.

 Fixing and finishing this blanket for my niece.  She was only born 4 months ago.

 Painting my house. I have been dragging my feet on this one.  Want to help?

 Finishing a bag that I started on Sunday.  It is based on this and this.

 Sketching, painting or drawing...one of these.  This will be a new endeavor. 

 Lots of projects I want to at least think about and plan for.  I have a rather long and continually growing list.

 Enjoy the beautiful weather because it is pretty nice. 

 Keep running.  I am up to 3 miles 3 days a week.

 Putting some thought and effort into planning a Craft/Sewing/Cooking/Do Whatever You Want To Group with the ladies in my area.

What are you looking forward to this month?
