I've been waiting something like two years for her to finish a painting she started after I put a deposit on it as part of her "chartered work" experiment (where I put down a deposit as a promise to buy a non-commissioned work when it was finished).  Early on I'd ask her every few months if she's had a chance to work on it (since she stopped sending regular updates talking about her work backlog) and she'd say it was coming soon.  About a year ago I asked her if she's had a chance to progress on it and she apologized and said she'd refund my deposit as soon as she could after paying rent and so on and I told her I didn't want the deposit back, I just wanted the painting eventually.

She also said that when she finished preparing her "Lunch Break" books I'd get free signed copies to make up for the wait, which is yet another thing she's never gotten around to finishing.  I understand she's going through a lot of depression-related problems right now but I have a feeling that a lot of it is somewhat self-inflicted.
