Unfinished project supportery

User Profile: sadcat13

Hello everyone, welcome to the unfinished project supportery. Having hobbies often comes with a pile of unfinished projects, whether it is a knitting project, a garden makeover or a book you bought but never got to read.

What does this thread has to do with that?

You can:

- tell us about your unfinished project

- ask for support and motivation to make progress on your work

- show how your project progresses

- show the project you finished

- use this as your sign to go and work on a project you have been procrastinating on


Tagging my friends who may be interested ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wow great idea...I was recently going through my craft projects just putting all in same boxes. I have some almost finished. A couple latch hook projects that I only need to put binding on. And a punch needle picture. I need to buy a new punch needle to finish it.

@sadcat13 such a cool post! I've told myself no new projects and yet... I'm verrrry slowly working through knitting a beanie, crocheting a top, and a crocheting a sweater. I've also got lots of embroidery projects that never got off the ground so maybe I'll get back to those one day too.ย

@SkateComet93 I feel that, also told myself to not start new stuff until I finish something old. You can imagine how it's going ๐Ÿ˜‚

My cane project is maybe 90% done...& has been for almost three years now.

Unfortunately, between my inability to focus (when I was little, some medical person said I had a "short attention span"--thank heavens we didn't have Ritalin back then), chronic conditions that disrupt my life & the gift/curse of being multitalented, I just haven't gotten around to it. On top of that, I'm fed up with my current living situation & am trying to change it, aaaand summer started early so I can't work on my project since the only place I can do it is on the patio--which is either too hot, or being rained on.

Life is what it is.

Thank you for bringing this topic, Iโ€™ve been struggling to crochet, and itโ€™s something I love to do. Recently Iโ€™ve been wanting to make a granny square vest but I donโ€™t have enough yarn for it yet. I will probably start soon, this just encouraged me so thank you! ๐Ÿ˜Š

@sadcat13

Glad this topic came up. I play videogames as a hobbies. Sometimes I will play from start to finish with no problem, other times depression sets in or other life events however I've recently have started to go back to my old games and finish them. Seriously though I think depression and life events take their toll at times and you just have to take a break. The best way I've been able to finish a project is to schedule time around it. If more important things get in the way I set the next best time. Usually on a Saturday or Thursday because that's when things are slow for me.


God bless.

@sadcat13

What game do I plan to finish next?

Hmm...I'm on the last mission in Battlefield 4, I'm on the second mission in Doom Eternal DLC...after that I'm gonna play Tomb Raider slowly. Out of all the games I've played on my PC that's probably like one of my favorites and WW2 shooters.

@calmLove9947 aww. I'm sorry to hear that. Motivation is such an important aspect of creating. How would you like the website to work? By that I mean how is it structured, does it have a quiz, is it more of a forum or blog etc?

Maybe you need to chill and recharge your batteries before moving forward again.
