Has been a day of getting little things done and ignoring the big list of things that I can feel circling over my head like a buzzard. I made a list of all the big things, thinking that I could chip away at them a little at the time. Ha! I have them listed on a Notepad page that I never close (thunderstorms and power outages excepted) and I change the date at the top every day, just to keep it current, you know. I'm on top of things. Yes.
You may have wondered why I called this blog 'Maker'. It is because I have rarely found a craft that I did not want to learn. I have been through cross stitch, crochet, guitar, scrapbooking, card making, origami, macrame, making beaded jewelry, crocheting with beads, making rosaries, making a beaded windchime, playing the piano, machine embroidery, decorative painting, pen and ink drawing, sewing has been with me all my life, and I am currently obsessed with knitting. In other words, I would rather be making something with my hands than doing anything else. (which introduces the sad story of the state of my dwelling, but we'll save that for another day. Maybe never.)
Anyway, if you are now thinking that this blog post is wandering all over creation, you now have an accurate picture of where my brain has been today. I shall now resume work on either my baby beehive hat for the Pumpkin Patch sale, or the blue socks I started last night, or the scarf with the intriguing cable pattern that is about one fourth finished. Tomorrow I shall try again to be decisive and competent about all that other stuff.
And folks, she's ridiculously good at ALL of the aforementioned crafts above!!
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd throw that out there. :-)
