Making a Promise

Playing

In which I make a promise to myself not to be lazy. 


I made a promise to myself this afternoon, but I wonder how long it will last. It's one of the reasons I don't bother making these sort of promises usually because I end up forgetting it or changing my mind. However, this time I hope it will be different.


What is this promise?


It's to do more crafting, and not waste my time in the evenings, using that old excuse of being tired or not bothered. It's such a waste, I can do half an hour in the evenings! I can do this! I hate having nothing to show for a week when I used to do so much, even when working. Sure my work time has changed, I am no longer part-time so I don't have the extra time in the mornings to work on bits. Why should I let that stop me from doing something that actually in the long run makes me relax, otherwise you get stuck in a rut or just mull over work and where is the fun in that??!


So I make this pledge to do more with my time!


Can someone keep me going? Prod me occasionally or send me a nice link to a inspirational website?

Another WIP is done!

It's done! 


Finally finished the little quilt, and look here it is!


I have yet to list it because I want to spend a bit more time taking photographs of it, the camera I am borrowing at the moment isn't very good, and so I will fit with it next weekend, when I can take the shot first thing in the morning. Afternoon light is a bit shocking at the moment.


So what now you ask?


Good question on to the next ninety projects I have whizzing around my head varying from the extreme like finishing the large pink quilt. One thing at a time. To another clock. Was up in town yesterday and a few textures I saw have made me want to do more, things like layering and tarpunto (sure I spelt that wrong). Anyway, things of that nature.


So lets not waste time by sitting here and idling away the hours staring at a computer screen I do enough of that at work. Time to sit down and actually stitch.
