the unfinished project

do you have projects in need of completion? works of art only half finished and lying around, taunting you just enough to feel guilty for beginning yet another project?! with good weather finally around, and flowers blooming, the month of may brings hope... so join me this month in the unfinished project...

what is this, you ask?! it's simply another blog idea to encourage us artists to finish all those projects lying about... the swaps, the thank you cards, incomplete knitted/crocheted items.... even organizing the supplies that keep accumulating in every corner of your house, in hopes of reminding you to "be productive today"... the unfinished project is a dedication to the month of may, stating to finish what you started...

so are you game?! madeline gave me this grand idea because as many of know, creating one piece needs inspiration and motivation... and the blogging world is inspiration... one site gives you an idea... then you click to another site, and the wheels start rolling... they roll so much, they end up going off track, like those pesky closet doors... you are so full of inspiration that you go to start a new project, as the old ones sit forlorn and dismissed... the inspiration and motivation dedicated to a newer work of art...

perhaps, i am the only one who has this issue... or maybe not... but just like the use what you have month, inspired us to do just that, i hope the unfinished project will inspire us to completion...

thanks to madeline, this idea zoomed in my head in hopes of  accomplishing a few goals this month...  so come join in on the fun... or work.... or both...

Ellia, this is a great idea. I know I can use some motivation for completing some of my WIPs.

aw, that is a cool idea. i've realized i'm going to be 'finishing what i started' probably until the end of summer. ack!

Oh, count me in - I liked the idea of "using what you have" and this is even more appropriate - I have several knitted objects which have been languishing undevservedly.

Very cool idea!

I've already sworn to knit four unfinished projects before I move this July. Great to have company!

Cool idea -- too bad I missed the month. There is another site that is doing it for this month.
