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... ☺

  1. Project Hoarder! Funny :). I can relate. I haven't done anything crafty in a while but I used to have lots of unfinished projects. Now I collect Pinterest projects which is much less messy because I never start anything. I just hoard the ideas :). Thanks a lot for introducing me to Pinterest by the way *sarcasm*. Actually, I really love Pinterest :)

    1. Mona, when are we sewing again. I want to continue working on something and I think sewing with someone will help me.

  2. Hee hee. Tee hee hee. I am snickering. Because I can relate. My projects look fantastic in my head, and I love the fabric that should go with them. But then, I recklessly stuff the fabric into cubbyholes and keep the patterns scattered all over my brain (Fieldmice probably have tidier lives). Never the twain shall meet, as long as I keep this up. I call it "Fractured Crafting".

    1. Hi Bekuh! Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully I can finish the bag (or something) soon so I can get back to sharing.
