Is this the patchwork to end all patchworks

I like making things. This much is true. I am F*ING AWFUL at finishing them. This much is also true.

Sure, I have the Bean to look after, a business to run, a flat to keep presentable, a husband to remember once in a while. 

But really it's me: I start something, have an idea for something else, get excited about that, get the parcel tape and try it out too, oh and wouldn't it be cool if?? 

Ad in-fi-nitum. 

I can always see the finished product, I draft the show-and-tell blog post of awesomeness in my head as I go along. Then never quite get there.

Well, I think I'll just have a mini show-and-tell now. Maybe it will actually make me finish them and finally get to show them off properly.

1. Yes this may be the ugliest thing you've ever seen, but in my head it's an Activity Station for the Miniature Gardener. Really. It's going to be great.

2. The threading-practice toy that needs holes for ALL the pens.

3. Ah, my quilt. My gorgeous, king-size, hand-stitched quilt. My gorgeous, king-size, hand-stitched quilt that I haven't touched for almost 16 months.

4. The colour-sorting toy that does not yet have any colour other than meh.

5. The pull-along car that has wheels and a driver but not much pizazz. 

6. The cardboard kitchen still in progess (though less so than last week, at least!).

Tell me I'm not the only one who leaves projects unfinished! I'd love to hear what you're working on right now (even if it's 'just' staying sane while looking after a small human being).

I just LOVE patchwork quilts but this one has been over two years in the making now! AND I have another one that I haven't even started yet! One day, eh, one day. Thanks for commenting x

NO YOU ARE NOT ALONE I think we all do this to different degrees but I am the WORSE person at starting projects all over the place and leave them unfinished. Saying I will do it soon. And they pile up. I do eventually finish it one day but that one day tends to be when I rush around like a loon thinking I have to finish something NOW and rush through it all. lol I think I have abou 4 projects on the go right now. I need a week or two for each one. lol No time though. Isn't that always our excuses. Mr P is getting sick of my piles of unfinished projects. I can really relate. I look at your photos though and see great projects to work on. YOu ARE really creative. thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me. #sharewithme hope to see you again soon.

Haha, thanks for the reassurance Jenny! My husband tries very hard not to grumble at the piles of unfinished projects everywhere, but he drew the line at the cardboard. I LOVE making things out of cardboard so I hoard it. That particular pile is now in my office, glaring at me. As you say, there's just no time!
Thanks for hosting #sharewithme, it's a lovely linky.
