I've started, but will I finish?!

The 20 Minuters' Challenge is really good for me, but it's also starting to cause a little (but growing) problem.

I decided to use the Challenge to start and finish my granny square blanket. This started really well, but after a while my blog began to get a bit boring with reports about squares, squares and (yes, you guessed it) more squares. I felt I should introduce a bit of variety, and that's when the trouble started. I made this and this and this, I started a picture of letters for Little Miss, restarted a cross stitch (more about this another day) and I'm thinking of making a dress for Little Miss (when I'm next feeling brave!)

Have you spotted the problem yet? I'm in a frenzy of productivity, but I've stopped finishing things...I've even started to think about making a start on a homemade Christmas this year!!! Stop me now!

While I pull myself together, here's my granny square progress report:



Sorry about the lack of light in the picture, I left it too late in the day...

Hope you're having more success with the finishing thing!

  3. I'm sure you'll finish it, and you'll be so proud when you do. I have a few unfinished projects, I will get round to doing them, but at the min, I have more pressing projects to finish, thats my excuse anyway, lol. xxxx

  5. I know exactly what you mean!! And in a way posting the same feeling the other day!! Great minds always think a like!! So I am having a finishing off week - well almost. I love your Granny Squares. The colours and the pattern. I have never thought of putting little squares in between larger ones. Well done and I look forward to seeing a finishing off week over here too!

  6. Am loving the blanket - looking forward to seeing the finished article. I have so many Works In Progress - I keep seeing new ideas and just have to have a go, and nothing gets finished! All I've posted recently is cupcakes - I did feel a bit like a production line last weekend! At least they all got eaten by my colleagues. Take care. M x
