I wonder if others have the same problem as me. It seems I have so many interest and so many projects going on at the same time! I was told you are a true artist if you have more than ten projects in the works!! LOL

[eaststreettins]

Only ten? Plus a day job and a house and......

[Collagical]

If that's the case, I must be an artistic genius, lol! Hah! I just wish my body could keep up with my brain, there's never enough time either...I was going to bed an hour and a half ago, and instead????

[RedCrowArts]

Me for sure. My mind goes crazy any time I am going thru my supplies I get "future ideas" and can't slow down.
I am currently working on mosaics because I have to get some inventory back after the busy holiday but I also have a couple crochet projects going and pottery and.......home yard projects

I try to do what I call - one "NewFound" project a week. I have done good for about 15 to 20 weeks now. I have done neat things for the garden and for around the house. Simple things found and made new and useful. It keeps me on my toes

Right now I am starting on a very old turntable style photo holder and going to put it in our TV room.

I'm the same way - but I go through phases, that last a few months along with ongoing projects. I think I've done everything except knitting. At least etsy is directing my energy so I'm not so scatterbrained. I keep telling myself Valentines Day - make things for Valentines Day.

Happy New Year's eve everyone - have a jolly and safe evening :>)

[Collagical]

Hope you all had a safe New Year, my sweetie and I had a ball hosting Karaoke at our local VFW, it was a hoot! We had a great crowd and everyone enjoyed themselves! Did anyone watch the Rose Parade...it's my favorite part of New Year's besides the blackeyed peas, lol!

[Former_Member]

Happy New Year everyone! What new artform would you like to learn in 2011?

[Former_Member]

@floweringshrub, I would love to learn letterpress. It is so dang expensive, though! Not to mention I'm behind on like, 15 projects right now! LOL!

[RedCrowArts]

Cat had the bep/greens! watched some of the Rose Parade - I like the parades.

@flowering - I really want to learn to make a rag rug - that is on my winter list. Only to make one for my home, I don't want to add anything to my daily routine. I have always wanted to learn blacksmithing too

[Former_Member]

We had the bep/cabbage too! I have been working on a new project too. Ive been creating a colleciton that will have 12 in a series. Plus other crazy ideas! I have always wanted to learn metal smiting. I do a little crocheting for the grandkids, and I love painting. So I never seem to have time in the day for all I want to do...

[Collagical]

The greens sound great, our friends brought the bep's but no greens, lol! I don't really have anything I want to learn, I just want to start creating more! I've been listing mostly vintage items and not really focusing on all my ideas! I still have tons of vintage to list, but that's my least favorite part of selling on Etsy, lol! I hate listing!

[RedCrowArts]

Great new links and ideas are being posted so fast since the holiday - thanks Cat and Mel. I love reading all the newest information each evening

[Former_Member]

Same here (I started to call it a problem, but it's a good "problem" to have IMHO, so...) I have what feels like 100 projects going at any one time and that doesn't include the ones that are still in the "thinking about" phase that I haven't actually started yet. Yikes. So little time sometimes!

...and I've been wishing after a binding machine lately. I see so many materials that I think would be great to recycle as journals, day-planners, address books and the like. Alas, good binding machines are expensive and as I said, I have about 100 other projects already in the works. :-)

I don't know about all of you, but I loooove Sundays- especially when it's a lounge around- stay at home day. Just watched an amazing bio about my all time fave: Johnny Cash, while I've been listing and catching up welcoming our new members.
