This was certainly the case for Open Exchange Rates [0] – it was a successful open source project for a year before life and commitments forced me to either shut it down or business it up. I took the latter path, and now it allows me to keep working on it full-time... but I did have to forcibly sacrifice (I say scupper) some other projects, which I have no doubt would have been equally successful.
