Does anyone ever get tired in the middle of..

NO, NOT THAT!!!!!!!!

Does anyone start crafts and never finish them?? I just looked around and in one minute I saw an unfinished latch hook rug of the american flag, a half painted wood jewerly box and a half stained shelf that we bought from gothic which i swore I was going to finish! Does anyone else do this?? I have to staying power for crafts...i always think i like to do them but then i get bored and never finish!

unfortunately no, I love to sit there until I am done. I am dyign to start all my wedding crafts, but it is too soon, and no room to gently store them when they are done

i have a half finished crocheted baby sweater, half finished cross stich things... I tend to buy the bigger products and not finish, but when I buy the smaller kits they get done faster...

LOL same hear story of my life

I have a project I started 2 years ago. I was doing a stitching project for beginners. My flowers looked like a sick bumble bee, my pot looked like the gurney they were lying on and one day I got so fustrated I put it down and never picked it up

I was then inspired by watching Trading spaces and was going to make a couch cover and pillows. I got the handy stitch from ebay and a cute little sewing machine. I bought material for the pillows figuring I would start small and I made a few stiches and never went back

It depends what it is.

I kept trying needle crafts and get so far and just drop it. Now I know, I really don't like needle crafts:)

But I'll go through phases with crafts where I will get all gung ho about something then get tired of doing it after a couple of months/years but I wouldn't say I just stopped in the middle though.

I don't get tired of the project, but do get sidetracked and they sit for ages. My biggest problem is lack of time to devote to a project. It seems like I'm always busy with something else - cleaning, cooking, reading, entertaining - and spending too much time here
