I have way to many ’WIP’s’ (works in progress) awaiting me. Another project will catch my eye and I just ‘jump’ to a new one without finishing what I was doing. :~}
On a happier note… I ‘have’ finished projects, so not everything I do ends up in a WIP ! ! ! :~D

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is having no dedicated space for sewing projects, which means cutting fabric on the kitchen table, sewing in the “guest” bedroom, moving boxes of fabric from room to room depending on over-nighting granddaughters, and removing a cat from the fabric I left on the ironing board, taping ripped pattern pieces back together, and picking up spools and other small sewing tools knocked all over the floor by swishing tails.

My biggest sewing, knitting, or crochet challenge is really a fight between my wishes and time management – I want to attempt too many projects and I just don’t have time to do them all. I have the unfortunate habit of starting many projects and not finishing them. As I get older, I am trying to be more selective to realize the time I have and attempt one project at a time – which makes me feel better about getting an item accomplished.
