Always start things....never finish

Gosh, we could be twins...lol. I have so many incomplete crafts lying around...probably worth a small fortune. I would like to try jewellery too and I have heaps of beads but I can't find out how to do the ends. I would do a class but there are none near me and I can no longer afford such things. I also have stacks of art books and hundreds of dollars worth of equipment but I can barely draw. At least the computer worked. I spend over 12 hours a day on here most days.

I tried knitting, but found it boring, too much work for too little result!

Yes I did start a project and didn't like it. Actually it was a gift from one of our kids. She bought a scrapbooking kit and wanted me to work on it and enjoy putting it together of our grandkids. I just couldn't get into it and put it away. I like a craft I can take with me when I leave home and work on it while I am waiting for an appointment or babysitting our grandbaby. Plastic canvas is easy to carry and I love the results. Most recently I made Sesame Street banks for our grandkids and they turned out so cute. If the project won't fit in my purse, I carry an over the shoulder bag full of yarn and extra plastic. I've also tried many crafts but this one works for me.

my hubby always accuses me of doing this! i get into a project and work on it and move onto something else. for me, its because i get bored easily but right now i am into multi media collage.

woah...when i was younger i was told i had this kind of character, but i guess now i dont. although sometimes i notice myself almost getting into it again. as early as i could i make sure to change this characteristic. i set goals and try my best to reach them.

I am the same as you.It took me years to finish a crochet blanket as well as making a quilt throw with material squares.I also use to start knitting a jumper and that sits in a draw upstairs, it is getting beyond a joke as there are lots of things that i have started and no finished.

hello missy, Try what really got your interests. I love making crafts,i do crochet and i am very impulsive that i want to see my finish product. So,i start making small things first,like coin purse and make sure to finish it in one sitting. Then,if i feel satisfied with it,try to make another design,like center table piece (not to big so that i can finish it in a day) I also love embroidery,same thing,i start with simple designs because i always wanted to see how my work looks like when done. I tried various crafts,but i make sure to have one finish product. I paint figurines,and that's what i love mosts. I love combining paint colors and see the results. Just try to make a simple one,and feel how proud you are when you see your finish product. Have a good day and enjoy your craft.

It can be such a waste when we start things and don't finish them. i have seen a lot of hobbies come and go. i have been guilty in the past of starting something I coulod not finish,. it was usually a craft i thought was interesting, but really wasn't. i try to choose these things more carefully now.

maybe if you give then more time to your self and don't try anything new if you didn't finish the last. i have a problem to finish things, i just make me, about 2 years ago it was so hard... i'm managing to end more things now and hopefully i end things in the future! happy new year

hi, my problem is i never have enough hours in the day to fit in my many interests with working. still for a cheap outside hobby why not try dowsing. you can dowse/divine for many things (start with water) all you need is some dowsing rods or even old wire coat hangers. its fun and cheap. also why not try ti- chi. a class is pretty cheap and gets you relaxed and fit at a very slow pace. swimming is also good fun and writing poems like on sites like 'wikinut' makes writing fun and it is cheap too.you could get out and about with your camera for a new hobby also. hope this gives you a few new ideas. good luck!

Why don"t you first try doing nothing as a hobby! It is a good time to really think it over and concentrate on what hobby would really interest you. You would be refreshed to think hard what is the most suitable hobby that is best suited for you.

It happened to me sometimes....I started something but I dont finished it cause I have come to a feeling of bored or tired in doing it but prior to that I really want and need to do it by buying something to make anything that comes from my mind. But if you are really determined to do it completely , you can really do it and have it and you feel the contentment and value of your work. You must have a perseverance and determination values.

I understand that you don`t have money for travel and stuff like that.Earn some money online than.I can earn money for everything you want if you are serious.And yes , i start few hobby`s and than is was quit them.But this is life , you must keep searhing what make`s you happy.Try reading , writeing maybe you will became a succes writer :)

Hahaha that reminds me of one jigsaw puzzle that I have never touched even since I bought it during our trip to Japan. We visited Studio Ghibli Museum and bought the Kokoro 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle however before I can start constructing them I need to buy a frame that can fit this jigsaw puzzle. I planned to construct it one off only so I need a frame so I can keep it and put it on the wall.

Well, I started cross stitch, painting, drawing, and a few assorted crafts, but I never really got that interested. I do like knitting, crocheting, and sewing though.

So you need to find something to do that will not cost you money, or that will allow you to use up what you have. What do you really like, what are your skills? Volunteering at charities can be a good hobby, like the humane society or in a nursing home. Look into something that you do with recycled things. Giftsandbags makes bags from juice packs that are empty. I have also painted empty cans for containers. You have paint from paint by numbers, so spray paint the can, then paint something on it like snowmen, etc. Little bitty cans make good candle holders.

There are a few things I have gotten into that I discovered I wasn't all that fond of..one was the jewelry making. It seemed like it never grabbed me either....I also tried knitting but for some reason just can't get it! LOL...I crochet up a storm but can't knit!

Hi missy! Happy New Year again! I always start things and never finish them! That is a Libra's perogative (or so they say)!lol I am just not good at anything really! I started to hook a rug, that I never finished and threw out. I have started so many different hobby things and never finish them. I don't know why either so don't feel bad!

I do sympathise as I'm exactly the same. I start off with good intentions, then it all goes to pot after a few days. Two examples I can give you are..being addicted to riding my bike and now not riding it at all and years ago I would manually construct Astrological Birth Charts for people (obsessively) but I have not done one of them for years, even though it's now computerised to make things easier! The only thing I've carried on with is MyLot! I've tried writing articles but that bores me after a while. I've been told I should write stories for kids but I haven't got round to that either! What a waste of space I am lol.
