I am queen of unfinished projects. As I've mentioned before I am a project junkie. It's like I get project ADD :) I start something with the greatest of intentions and before you know it, I'm thinking of another project and starting it without having finished the first one! The thing I can't understand is, I'm totally a type A person, and the unfinished-ness (that's not really a word) drives me crazy and increases the chaos level by 10! Hmmm, why am I making myself crazy? I'm not quite sure. SO, in an attempt to finish what I've started, little projects to big ones I am making myself a list of projects that have been started and not finished and one by one I will begin finishing them!!
So let the list begin...
Blogging- I counted just the other day, and I have 33 unfinished blog entries (Wondering why would I even bother, I have no time for scrapping our life, so blogging and then buying a book is much easier and a tells a more complete story of our life)
Shredding- I have a box of things that need to be shredded and since my shredder broke I've gotten a "little" behind
Window coverings- Just about every window in our house is covered half a#@ and have all the stuff to finish them, but...
The boys room- still has no paint on the walls & decor is unfinished
Girls clothes- I started sorting the too small, too stained etc... and need to finish in order to get what they need for the colder weather.
Patio chair covers- need 2 sew 2 more covers & restitch the velcro on the 4 I already did
The loft (this will require $$, but we need to get it done!)
The classroom- while it is functioning and used every day, it's not finished!!
Patchwork- while running electrical we cut a few holes that have yet to be finished
Ceiling- still no drywall, texture or paint
Garage wall- no paint, molding or baseboards
The backyard-dirt box, swing set, planters, bank, BBQ island, wood chips!
Laundry Room- laundry area remains unfinished from new washer and dryer
Baby Sewing- I have started burp rags, diaper/wipes cases and blankets all unfinished for friends and sisters
Notes and Cards- I have purchased cards and notes for people and have yet to write in them and send them and NEED to do so!
Trailer- I've started getting it ready for storage, but I need to get a move on it and get it off our street!
Okay, I'm so bad that as I'm writing this list of unfinished projects, I'm thinking of all the other projects I'd like to start :( No more projects until these projects are done!!! Anybody have an extra weeks worth of time and an extra $5000? I'm just kidding, but by the time I'm done I think that's what it'll take. The problem I'm finding is the need for both time and money, as well as the fact that some of these projects I obviously cannot finish on my own, so I'll have to take that into account, as I prioritize these projects. It is my goal to have all of these projects done with the exception of the loft floor (we're saving to put hardwood in our whole upstairs) by December 1st. I'm planning on having a Christmas party and would like things a little more finished. So, feel free to ask me about my progress and my effort towards not starting any new projects, as I might need some help in this area :)
Wish me luck as I get to work and finish up what I've started!
