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).
