I wonder how many of you are like me ? I have a million unfinished projects ....or to put it more positively "Works in progress" I see something I could make or do or have a go at and I get this uncontrollable itch to have a go. I get depressed if I'm not planning, doing or near completing a project. It's lovely when it's finished but I really much prefer that feeling just before it's finished.... When you can nearly see the end but not quite. I spend far too much time looking for new ideas..my brain is bursting (with ideas , not with intellect !)
I have always been this way but I've suddenly realised not everyone is the same. Sometimes I forget that I have four children and a real life job when I plan big projects like major interior colour changes ( I'm still painting) or ripping out a wall. It gets a bit crazy. Fortunately my children love the feeling of "Flux" when projects are happening. They have of course, grown up around this kind of chaos. I hope they look back on it with love.
Anyway. Here is a box I've had squirrelled away .... No real plans for it but too lovely to leave at a garage sale.
Four casters I rescued off a lounge by the side of the road at council clean up. I am an embarrassment to my children at that time of year :) Yes I do carry a screw driver in my handbag.
Bam , that old box looks like it has a function. Project completed !!
Too easy
It now holds Master Picket Fence's farm animals....in any room he chooses.
A boy needs wheels :)
Note my sons paint stained play clothes. That's us all class ;) I told you I get distracted .
Hi Ava, love the toy tray! such a great project. It is very similar to our pie tray come coffee table. I, like you, always have a few things in mind, but some never get started, hence the pile in the shed.
ReplyDeleteI think we have the same class as you, India is always covered in something..haha
Enjoy your day, T x
can totally relate right down 2 my childrens stained clothing ;))

My list is probably like yours adding ten things on the bottom and removing one from the top. I have learnt not to start anything until the one I am doing is finished or I would be in real trouble!
ReplyDeleteLove it, just add a rope to pull it along! Lucky kids. x
ReplyDeleteAs my kids would say AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - love it!

Wonderful idea! Would work out good as well using old apple crates :) I have so many things I would like to do project wise..just never seem to find enough time in the day :P
ReplyDeleteHave a great day today

Oooo...I want to be in your class. It looks like a fun place to be. No rules just play. Beautifully done and filled with just the right stuff. I am off to but a screwdriver in my purse. Do they come in floral print? Smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteHello Ava, how I laughed when I read this post. I am so like you. When I am in the 'zone' everything goes to pot. My poor husband is so not like me, and likes order and for things to stay the same (he married the wrong woman).
ReplyDeleteI adore your little box, and thought it was terribly noble of you to give it over to your children. I would have liked it with cupcakes in! Keep creating...I love it! Love Linda x
