Day 9 – Don’t Give up on us Baby…

Ever since I started writing this series I’ve been humming the song “Don’t give up on us baby, we’re still worth one more try”…. (Here it is on Youtube if you want to get it stuck in your head too.)
I don’t know about you, but there have been times when I have looked at all my UFOs and thought of giving up… after all, how long will it take for me to finish them? And how long do I have to wait to start something new?!
It is tempting to give up. But then I look at some of my UFOs like this one:
And this one:
When I look at them they make me smile and I know that I can’t give up on them or the others. Those piles of UFOs are worth another try….
Don’t give up on us, baby
We’re still worth one more try
I know we put a last one by
Just for a rainy evening
When maybe stars are few
Don’t give up on us, I know
We can still come through
– David Soul
Working on a UFO on a rainy evening, that sounds pretty good to me… So here’s to not giving up on our UFOs!
(Sudden thought: Maybe the song has nothing to do with UFOs and is stuck in my head because it is telling me that it is only Day 9 of the 31 Day Challenge and that I shouldn’t give up 🙂 What do you think?)
Never give up! Actually, if a particular project is filling you with dread and dragging you down, then it is okay to give up and move on. Our hobby is supposed to be fun! And sometimes challenging. But if you really don’t want to do something, it’s pointless to continue. Especially if you start avoiding the sewing room because you don’t want to face it. 🙂
Those are beautiful and fun UFOs. I can’t wait to see the UFOs you finish! I have plenty of my own, but I don’t seem to be much for finishing these days. Someday, I’ll start ticking some projects off. I have to challenge myself.
How funny – I have done both of those quilts that you showed… and I love them so of course I don’t think you should give up on them……

those ones are great and yes don’t give up on them and don’t give up on the 31 days as I am really enjoying them and hopefully it will motivate me………..i’ve started by getting my lists sorted……..
Very inspiring to go through your UFOs like this – most of mine (and there are a few!) I fall in love with all over again when I pull them out too!
