Projects you wish you'd never bought/started

Somewhere in North Norfolk

I have some photo frames I bought in a charity shop months ago, intending to rub down and refinish. They're in the way at the moment because I haven't bothered.

I have a partially done latch hook rug kit which I've had for years. It's one of the most boring things I've ever done in my life. I don't even know what I'd do with it if I finished it because I don't want the rug.

I've got all sorts of unfinished or unstarted projects here, many of which I've totally lost interest in.

What projects have you bought, or started, that you are no longer interested in?

You should see the number of picture frames I have lying around my office...

Fortunately I do things with them

I did plan to make a collage from picture books of London I'd cut up - I wanted to make a fantastical city-scape in the downstairs loo... and looked at it, and looked at it...

And one day I spotted the massive pile of Private Eyes in the loo and went, ah!

So now the loo is wall papered in Private Eyes. Much quicker and simpler.

My Own Little World

I had the brilliant idea in Feb to clear out my cellar. Which was so cluttered I didn't have to room to move things about in there so I had to bring a load of shit up into my conservatory to go through it, I had a tiny walk way through the middle of my pretty large 30X12 foot conservatory.

6 months later I want to fire bomb the whole fucking mess!!

I spent a fortune on material to make bikinis for my holiday.

Going tomorrow. Haven't started. Oh well.

I'd love to see what's at the back of the garage - I have a dream of turning it in to a workshop, as opposed to a dumping ground.

Ho hum

I managed to get this really nice dolls house and came up with the idea I could refurb it, 3 years it's been sat there, totally ripped out and now houses my sons Xbox games... I might bring it with me to the new house and actually get round to it.....

But then I'm immensely patient.

For instance, I found a playing card on the road in London some years ago and idly wondered how long it would take to collect an entire deck of 'found' cards.

8 years, apparently.

In the beginning of the year 2000 I started a cross stitch scene for my impending first grandchild. He's 16 soon and I haven't finished it

If you were closer you'd be welcome to them.

The photo frames I might get round to. They were going to be part of a gift for my dad, so I may yet get inspired again.

Realistically the rug is unlikely to happen. I've got too many hobbies I do enjoy and too little time to do those now.

Or the time I decided I wanted to design a pack of tarot cards (I don;t believe in them, it was an artistic venture).

That drove me nuts.

3 versions and 5 years it took me.

Look good tho'

Oh goodness, tell me about it.

I'm trying to declutter. I've been trying to declutter for a long, long time. Sometimes I could happily set fire to the lot.

I can be very patient with some things. With other things not so much!

And I'm ridiculously easily distracted.

I'm starting a new project called Butterfly bedroom. Think I've found the wallpaper thanks to Granny C and have told people to look out for butterfly stuff. Stuff could be anything.

We bought a house with a decent size garden intending to do a lot with it. Been no end of trouble especially due to an infestation of mare's tail.
