Is it just me?

Ever had so many projects you didn't know where to begin?  

That's me.

I have one project I've been trying to complete for some seven years.  I am over 1/2 way through this project.  The material once sewn will make three bedspreads for my sons toddler beds.  {If I ever finish them.} 

One project, I've only had in the works for a couple weeks.  No photos yet, but it is going to be a twiggy wreath.  I'll explain in depth at a later date.  How much later no one knows, but one day I'll show you how to make a twiggy wreath. ; )

So neither project is close to be finished.

Nor are any of the projects in between.  Like this one.  Remember when I mentioned it weeks ago?  I recently manage to paint a third coat of chalkboard paint upon it.   I think it needs one more coat if paint, at the least.  

Hopefully, a fourth coat of paint is the charm because I tripped over the can of paint last week and half of it spilled on the floor so there isn't a whole lot of paint left.  {Just call me tanglefoot.}

{sigh}

Is it just me or have you found that its easier to begin a project than to finish it?

And it isn't encouraging when one of your ideas ends up being a flop.  Like this one. 

 And this one.  

Both were my attempts to make homemade cloth baby diapers.  First a fitted diaper and than a pocket diaper.  Next time I try to sew these I am going to purchase a pattern.  I would have gotten a pattern, but I was trying to save money and time.  {LOL} 

The only other project I actually completed was canning raspberry jam with my Mom a couple months ago and even that didn't end happily ever after.  Half the jam set perfectly.  The other half not so perfectly.  I'll post on that soon(ish).

  

So as you can see I need motivation.

Where to start, where to start...

So I am curious.  What do you do, when you are in need of motivation?  Leave a comment.  I would love to read all your inspiring tips.
