Unfinished Projects


The Unfinished Projects Club was the creation of my good friend, Becky Koladis. I suppose that when she dreamed it up, she knew I needed it as much as she did. As an artist, I am constantly finding myself intrigued by the latest and greatest project. While this keeps me constantly creating, it also causes my older crafts to get tossed on a shelf or buried in a drawer. Mosaics get all of my attention until the warmer weather of spring hits. Then, I hear my garden beckoning me and quickly exchange the piles of broken plates for a handful of dirt and a packet of seeds.

So, the Unfinished Projects Club provides a crafting haven, a place to pull out those neglected creations and get them finished once and for all. My half-painted garden table is one of the many objects that I started with enthusiasm but then abandoned after several months. The incomplete crocheted doggie sweater for Taco is another. In the year to come, as I invite friends and fans to join me on the third Saturday of every month, I look forward to achieving completion.
I’d love to hear about some of the amazing things that you’ve found laying at the bottom of a drawer or stuffed at the back of your closet. May our little club be an encouragement to you to find the excitement in those projects once again.
