I only allow myself to work on one project or each kind at a time. I
only have one machine quilting quilt in the process right now. But I
also have a crochet project on the go as well. This is mainly cuz I know
I would get too many on the go and then feel so bogged down I wouldn't
want to finish any of them.

I think there can be a real upside to that. A while back someone
(apologies for my horrible memory) started a thread about having a bad
day when seemingly nothing was working. When that happens, having
diverse projects (different enough than whatever's vexing you) could
be just the thing to keep you going.

I'm nearly under control!!!!
I've nearly caught up with myself. I had so many WIPs and UFOs that
NASA was after me for ground-rent! However, now I have
1) A lap-sized wholecloth in Welsh style with a deadline for Wednesday
week and a little too much left to do.
2) Ongoing Jane Austen Diamonds hand piecing blue-and-white that I do
when I need to super concentrate and keep out of my head
3) A couple of pincushion kits I got at a Quilt Fair that I want to
make up for Christmas presents. A couple of hours a-piece
Then I have three wholecloths sandwiched (one lapquilt for DS and two
bog-standard cushions), ready to go, so all the hard work done.
I may do a machine-piecing one, when the wholecloth is finished, so
that I can play with the SM, but I haven't decided which of the miriad
of 'ideas' I shall use for that, yet.
Yep. Under control. Like that.

I wish you wouldn't say "I'm nearly under control". It's kind of like
saying "No child of Mine will Ever . . ." Just seems to me that you may be
just asking for trouble. Polly

Point taken, Polly! =3DD
It's just I'm such a control freak, and my family keep getting at me
for the amount of stuff I accumulate and things I start and take a
long time to finish, that I feel it may be cutting me some slack.
Seen in that context, control is good. And my projects are all in
take-along bags so I can grab and go at a moment's notice.

And yes, <<sigh>> I'm always having to backtrack and u-turn and swerve
to dodge oncoming disasters. My mind is more changeable than traffic
lights at present. Oh dear!
