It is huge, and stares at me from the back patio.
My free table that seats 10.
The legs are curved and match the design in my living room perfectly.
It had been a beer pong table.
Painted with house paint.
my son spent two days stripping the top.

and now I have to do the legs and the little side ridges:

You got some unfinished business? lol
 
I vote painted legs & sides, polyurethane top - lol! (and it is going to be so pretty- can't wait to see it!)


...and yeah, our taxes are still unfinished business!
 
Beer pong table?

:giggle :giggle :giggle

I have a bunch of stuff I need to go through and organize. A bunch. Everywhere. I guess that's unfinished business, though I question whether it will ever really be finished!
 
My list is never ending! I really really really need to take care of my license plate. It's hanging off the back of my car with one screw because the other one broke off. It was fine all winter and then we had really strong winds last week, which warped it! I need to get my brother to help.

There's stuff that needs to get done, craft projects that have been started. I'll get to it all someday.
 
Ugh....taxes. I have a couple of years to do for both hubs and I. It'll be a headache to get it all sorted out but the good news is that we'll get a nice chunk of money back so we can do some home renos which will be nice.
 
Umm so many things, 3 albums of PL, I've had a shelf from walmart sitting in my family room for a month that still needs to be put together, I bought hardware to hang our pictures before Christmas (maybe even before Thanksgiving) and they are still sitting in a corner in the living room, not to mention a plethora of unfinished knitting and cross stitch projects. I always have too many things going at once..lol.
 
I need to get our tax stuff together. Apart from that, it's just crafty projects I want to do. I don't consider those unfinished though, just in progress ;) some for years.:p
 
I can't start until it warms up, but we need to paint the little bit of woods and the shutters on the exterior of the house this spring and it's making me super nervous, lol. I can't decide what to do with it.
 
School paperwork - feels like a different note that needs attention has been coming home every second day for the past month. Taxes just need signing off (ok, we cheat and have an accountant do it)

We have a back deck that needs restaining, but have finished the front entrance so that's good.

And I have so many unfinished craft projects, pushed to the back of the cupboard...
 
That's big project Anne! I stripped an old dresser two years ago that had lots of layers of paint and LOTS of curves and details. It took forever, but was so worth it when I finished! :)

My unfinished project is a tiffany stained glass lamp that I started about 13 years ago. I bought super expensive glass for it and I cut about 1/3 of the pieces and then never finished it. I even have moved since then, and reset the whole table up and have the pieces sitting in my basement. I really want to finish it sometime because I know it'll be gorgeous... just can't seem to stop scrapping to find the time. :) This is what it will look like when I'm done except my peonies are more pink with bits of white streaked through...

OMG yes.... I got Bianca a desk from my neighbor's trash when she was moving out and still haven't re-finished it for Bianca to do her homework on it.
 
Well - we moved into our new house in August of 2013 and my room still isn't set straight. I have a bunch of boxes in the middle of the room that need to be looked through so they can go in the attic. I need to go through the closet so that I can rearrange things and donate what I don't need/want and put the stuff that doesn't fit in the attic. It's been really hard because this year I've been really sick with my RA - and when my hands feel up to a chore like this that is the LAST thing I want to do! I often have no energy. And now since Jan. I've been nauseous. Blah Blah Blah. So yes. Lots of stuff to do. The last few weeks I have made some progress though. YAY! Hopefully I will be done soon. Before it's been a year, I hope. LOL
 
Karen - that lamp is amazing! You have to finish it!! I've always wanted one like that...
I wish I could do that. But I think I have enough obsessions. oops I mean crafts. :giggle
 
Ugh.. I don't even want to START a list of my unfinished business, because it would just sit there unfinished, too.. :circles
