My creative space…
It’s all about the slow burn projects at my place at the moment. I’ve got the white quilt, a bit of stitchery, the car crochet & a bit of knitting. There are also quite a few projects that have been put on the back burner waiting for more time.
I think perhaps a few too many things on the go – meaning I’m getting no where fast with any of them…sigh.

Slow burn – that's the perfect words to describe those projects, I have a bazillion of them!!

I totally understand – I'm all for quick gratification projects peppered through my slower ones. Makes me feel like I'm achieving something

I am totally with you. I feel like my brain is warped with ideas but I have so many in process projects. I can't even think about writing ideas down for fear they may take form and create even more wip's. Here's hoping for magical amounts of free time to get some things acomplished.

at least your projects have gotten past the first hurdle, and are "on the go"… mine are mostly still tucked up in a corner of my brain…
Michelle

yep, sounds like my place too, except most of the projects have gone out and need to be reignited!

I always love your photos — great colors and focus. Inspired by your crochet pillow from yesterday — amazing how little things like pillows can transform a room. Thanks for the tutorial!

That's probably one of the hardest things about being creative and having so many ideas flowing so many projects you want to do, yet there never seems to be enough time to do them all in the time frame you hoped to.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your week and you feel a greater sense of achievement soon.

Oh I know just how you feel, if only we didn't need sleep… we would get so much more crafting done
Cyn

It's hard to believe that creativity can slow you down, but it can. Just for a bit though… you'll complete them all, while still planning more
Sarah
514 days ago
I do that too! I'm always somewhat jealous of my mother who can stick to one project until it is done. Me, I have bits scattered all over the house. Hope you find time to make some progress though
Rosalind

Yes I think everyone will know that feeling all too well! love the crochet cushion too!

Meh, sometimes sucks doesn't it? Too many things not enough time. I finally finished a couple plush toys this week…having put off simply sewing the stuffing hole closed for about 6 months-it took all of about 20 minutes…

Oh, I know the feeling too… Beautiful space, as always
Brenda

All those other projects are on the back burner because you keep coming up with fantastic ideas like the cushion in the previous post!

One project at a time is just so boring, you'll get there I'm sure. Meantime I love seeing your progress, it inspires me to keep going on my multiple projects (and ispires a fair few new projects too dang it!) Happy stitching

Pah. Who needs single projects that you sit down and finish? How boring would that be? Slow burn sounds good to me. Makes it even more worth it when it's all finished. Have a great day. X

Tania

I reckon I'm more 'stumped' by that shot, than I ever, ever have been over here. Needless to suggest, that is quite saying somethin'.

I'm with you on this one, I never like have too many things of the go at once.
That said whatever this is is looking beautiful xo
Brianna

I know the feeling. Have like 5 things on the go and I'm going nowhere fast with all of them and then I start another because I don't feel like I'm finished anything in ages!
Kathryn Mitchell
514 days ago
Yep, I'll agree with you and everyone, that feeling is all too familiar. I've got seams of a different variety today
Sorry I've been a bit absent of late! x

I love your teaser shots – this looks like it's going to be lovely – whatever it is!
I know what you mean about slow burn … I've got slow burn of the brain too, let alone real projects!

I know the pain of too many projects not enough time. I don’t understand people who get bored; I always have a billion things I could be doing!

Love a 'few' projects on the go, there is always something to be done, I like to have a quickie in the car, then something a little more timely by my chair, then in the studio is usually a bigger project, not to mention a scarf always, always, always on needles and/or hook. (Scarves for charity, lots to be made.)
Tracey

loving the slow process myself right now, so much lovely stuff you have on the go. Adored your crochet cushion from yesterday – I am about to put a little kit together for my pile…

I sure know that feeling. It can be nice to have a slow project or two in the background, but when too many of them build up … I've been on a mad dash to finally get some things finished, concentrating on one at a time, but once I get there, it'll probably start all over again!
Jennie

I must be the last person in the world to discover your great blog! I LOVE your up-cycled crochet cushions from yesterday – like I needed another thing on my 'things I'd love to make' list! It's had to go on there

I am so guilty of having several things going at once, it keeps things interesting!
Melanie Gray Augustin

I usually feel like I have too many things on the go, and don't get very far very fast on any of them. Ahhh… if only we were the types of people to be satisfied with just a couple of things… but na! I'd get bored then
dillpickle
514 days ago
Oh, yes, the slow burn. I'm trying to consolidate a bit at the moment and get a couple of those ones completed so there's a bit more space in my brain and around my craft space! Good luck with crossing some off your list…
Janine

The slow burn… sounds like a concept most people are familiar with, including myself! All the best with getting your projects completed…

OK so it's already Friday here, but MCS was genuinely photographed on Thursday
Loving your crochet cloth shrug – it's amazing what can be done with a little ingenuity! I had no idea it was such a quick make until I read your post, I thought you'd bought it. I so love the clasp!!!!

Good luck with finishing some of yours x
