Taking stock of life seems to be the requirement at the dawning of each new year. Taking stock of my sewing “life” is always high on my priority list. I pulled out some of my UFO’s and gave a lot of thought as to why I have so many. It is hard to admit that my biggest reasons for having so many UFO’s is perfectionism and fear. I get stuck on a project and instead of working through the problem, I just put it away. Out of sight, out of mind. Here are a few of my UFO’s:
Perfectionism and fear are taking up a lot of space in my sewing room! I have organized the projects into three categories: projects that I don’t love anymore (I look at some of them and wonder, “What was I thinking?!”), kits that need to be finished, and projects that need a solution. I do not think that I will never have another UFO as long as I live but, I do think that I can overcome the perfectionism and fear that hampers my creativity.
So why do you have UFO’s? We all have a reason.
January’s theme is: Conquering the UFO!
Email photos of your finished UFO’s to me. You can enter the COTM as many times as you like.
