Do any of you ever feel like this?
At the moment my head is a sea of ideas and I really can't seem to find the time to fit them all in! I start a project and then instantly I see another and I get this urge to need to start on that one, and so on........
Take for instance my very looooooong foundation chain.
I am currently working on my lovely rainbow hexagon blanket but whilst wandering through blogland I saw the very lovely Penelope's post where she had knitted the most gorgeous wrist warmers in clashing pink and red.
I knew instantly that I needed to make something pink and red but seeing as I can't knit I am crocheting a cowl/infinity scarf ( I do so LoVe scarves!!)
I also want to make some Christmas bunting,

some cute shell pattern wrist warmers,
and some votive/jar covers - my list is endless!
(Don't even get me started on all the beautiful ideas on Pinterest I need to try!)
And then I went and won Daisy's fabulous giveaway (Thank you so much Daisy!)
So now I'm itching to find uses for all the GoRgEoUs flowers!
Help! :)

I'm a 'craft butterfly'! Going from one thing to another! Too many beautiful things to explore, either that or I am very fickle! :)
ReplyDeleteYour not alone darling, I try writing them down in endless lists, but as soon as I've written them down I come up with other ideas that I want to try. And I too tend to start a project, then get distracted by another one half way through... I have a few half finished project, that I need a day blitzing to get done. I have made a vow that I am not allowed to start any Christmas projects untill the others are finished xxx Wish me luck..lol
ReplyDeleteI try to limit myself; that's why I'm not on pinterest, it's just too much! But still I have several unfinished items lying round the house..... I guess that almost all creative people are like that!
ReplyDeleteLove, Mirjam.
I love the wrist warmers, off to check them out :) There are always so many jobs to do!
ReplyDeleteBee happy x
oh i feel like that ALL the time!! but my trouble is i hardly ever even start them!
ReplyDeleteThats a lot of flowers! lucky you :)
YOU ARE SURELY NOT ALONE. IT'S REALLY BAD FOR ME THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. WRITING THEM DOWN AS YOU FIND THEM HELPS AND JUST CHECK OFF AS YOU GO...IT WORKS FOR ME! CONGRATS ON YOUR WINS!!! BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS. YOU CAN USE THEM ON SO MANY THINGS LIKE A BAG OR SCARF..HINT HINT! HAVE FUN WITH THEM...SHARI
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel ... I am always stopping and starting projects ... I reckon it keeps the creative juices flowing ... that least that's what I tell myself :) ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteA scarf in pink and red will be beautiful! Can't wait to see it finished!
ReplyDeleteI am hopeless at even getting started, never mind finishing. I blame not having a craft room/area. the thought of getting everything out that I will need is enough to put me off altogether ;-( XX
ReplyDeleteOh Victoria....
ReplyDeletethe other day I was counting up all my half started - or half finished? which is it???? projects.
They are all spread around the house.
Then there's my various notebooks, spilling over with ideas....just like my brain.
I counted up to 12 and I'm still counting?
Thank you for including me in your lovely post, I'm glad you like your parcel.
I can't wait to see what you will do with them all.
Bestest Wishes

Lovely prize Victoria
ReplyDelete- enjoy!
I love the sound of red and pink together, madly clashing but beautiful too.
I'm hoping to start knitting (not crocheting wouldn't have a breeze how to start) but if you find any easy peasy completely foolproof knitting patterns for beginners on your travels through your favourite blogs
would you please point me in the direction of them,
I don't know what it is but my fingers
are itching to knit!!!!
Happy November

Hi Victoria,I know exactly how you feel,I've so many things I want to make and never enough time. I was looking back over my blog last christmas and it was all pink and red,I just love these two colour s together.I know your scarf is going to be beautiful.xxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria, if I had a pound for every time I've said that! With me it's 'so many quilts, so little time' and lately 'so many tunes, so little time'!
ReplyDeleteBut how much better to be this much engaged with our interests than bored to death with a dull life! Lx
Oh i know this feeling all too well,, i seem to be constantly surrounded by unfinished projects because i always get side tracked with some other idea....you are not alone.
ReplyDeletePixie xx
I feel your pain! Not that I have a cure for your condition, but should you find one please pass it on ;D
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria! Hmmmm...some days I wish I was a crocheting, sewing and all crafting , multi-tasking octopus! Just imagine how many projects can be completed then! Well, there is only one thing for it...don't sleep! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave fun tackling all those lovely projects! Can't wait to see the results! Tania ♥
The wrist warmers are so beautiful. And I know what you feel with so many ideas. I also have a constant lack of time. There are so many things to do. I have a notebook full of ideas to work out. I think we should live twice.
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria, yes that sounds very familiar! I too always want to be making ten zillion projects all at the same time,and no sooner start enthusiastically on one when I spot another beauty that I can't wait to start! So yes, I know exactly how you feel!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the projects here, the red and pink look gorgeous together and will make a lovely scarf.
The wristwarmers and bunting are very pretty, I hope you find time for them too, but with that super win from Daisy I think you'll be too busy!

Too many ideas, too little time and practically no sleep as I turn them all over in my head all night!! I absolutely want those shell pattern wrist warmers in those exact colours! But I am only just starting a quilt, so knitting/crocheting will just have to wait! xCathy
ReplyDeleteThat feeling is familiar to me. I too have so many projects that I want to do, but too little time.
ReplyDeleteThe projects your shared in this post are surely great ones!
I know exactly how you feel and am sure Pinterest is to blame. I see so many good ideas that I want to try on there but no sooner have I started one than I want to start another.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling..I have a very long list of things I would like to make...just no spare time at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI really like the combination of the pretty pink and red wool :) Those are two of my favourite colours together.
Congrats on winning the giveaway..do share what you end up using the flowers for.
Happy crafting!

Oh my goodness.. such lovely flowers!!! You will find some wonderful uses for these I am sure! xox Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Im just the same, I have so many WIP's at the moment. they are all wonderful projects Victoria.
