Pacing

Yesterday, as I was downloading the 30-day trial of Adobe Dreamweaver to overhaul my website (which will require me to learn how to use Adobe Dreamweaver), I noticed that I've been starting projects and not finishing them. SO unlike me.

I decided it was time for a moral victory if only to clear brain space for the editing assignment coming in tomorrow or maybe today. And as a result I stayed up way too late doing the decreases on another hat. Not the one I bought yarn for on Saturday, which will match my new mittens, but the one I spent a whack of cash on two weeks ago because it looked like it would match my new mittens. It isn't a good pairing for them, as it happens, being entirely the wrong weight for the kind of weather that makes thrummed mittens appealing (though I must say, the wind was whipping straight through to my fingertips yesterday - must stuff some more roving in there.) However, it does look very very beautiful, a big turnaround from when I thought I was going to have to rip it off the needles and stamp on it. That was last week, right? Now I need to think of a good border for it.

And there we have it. I have finished a large section of one thing, leaving four - or five? - more to move forward on before Friday, plus the editing. Piece of cake. Mmm... speaking of which...

LOL! You sound so much like me it's scary! I'm the QUEEN of starting projects and not finishing them. Though they're always crafty projects and not serious Mommy/House stuff, you know?

Oh - and I've got ADD so I understand the "Ohhh...cake!" thing, too! Although I usually say, "OOohhh look! Something shiny!"

Have a great day!
