I think I'm the opposite -- I have so many projects waiting in the wings I don't even know where to begin! I have a winter quilt cut. It needs to be pieced, stuffed, and stitched. I have the plannings for next year's Christmas Quilt beginning to form. I also have some really nice asian-themed fabric that I want to incorporate into a quilt, but I haven't really started thinking about that one yet. I've started a katamari damacy-themed breadcover -- and I'm kind of winging that one as I go along, making it up without any real pattern. And I've been working on learning how to meake fabric flower hairpieces and learning how to whittle so I can make some wooden hairsticks.
The flowers have been stupidly tough -- I've found some pretty amazing tutorials, but my flowers keep coming out looking lopsided, or frumpy, or they don't hold together at all. I've decided that I need to go out and grab a glue gun, even though I was trying to avoid it.
My problem is lack of space and lack of time. School starts in a week, and I live in a ridiculously small apartment with my hubby. It pretty much leaves only the living room table available for working on projects... but our living room table is also the dinner table, the homework table, the laptop table, etc. I can't just leave a project as-is if I've started working on it and then go do something else. I have to clean it all up, put it away, and then drag it all out the next time I want to work on it. It's not a problem for the smaller things (such as the cross-stitching), but for working on quilts or even the fabric hairpieces it can be a PITA to drag everything out and then put it all away again.
