What Have You Been Doing?

I have days that I feel as if I have been so busy but that produce little in the way of "getting things done."
How about you?

I often find myself doing what I want to do rather than what I "need" to be doing.

Lately I have been re-inspired to embroider and cross-stitch.

It is so much more fun than doing the laundry or dusting.

 

I made this one up.

It's a fire in honor of our first ever Fire-Pit party back in December.

I'll show you when it's finished.

 

This is a Kristy Kizzee design. I won

Zombie Cross-Stitch kit by Erika Kern and Kristy Kizzee!

I'm stitching it with waste canvas on black fabric that will soon (hopefully) be a shirt for BillHubby.

I'm taking poetic license with the colors. I just started stitching again and didn't have all the absolute exact DMC flosses. And there's no way BillHubby is goin around 

with a blonde on his shirt!

The Fabulous mr x stitch's review of the kit I won!

The last couple of weeks have been stressful so I escaped into an old habit.

Backtracking a wee bit - in First Grade I determined that my crayons at school and those of my best friend should be arranged thusly - yellow, orange, blue, purple, red, green, brown and black.

I do not know why. 

I still arrange things in this order.

Since 1964!

Anyway, my doodles are most often a design surrounded by progressively bigger outlines of said doodle. If I use crayons or colored pencils or markers I always start with yellow and so on. (Oh please, someone analyze this for me!)

So this flower was born.

When I finished it the other day I felt so happy and cleansed of all 

that had been plaguing my brain.

I leave you with, as Jon Stewart says, 

"your moment of zen." 

Is there anything more peaceful than tired kittehs curled up for a nap?

Queen of Procrasty Nation

I am the absolute most sovereign Queen of Procrasty Nation!

If I can put it off then it probably will not get done.

I've been told I have Adult ADD. Whatevah! I just think there are so many interesting things to do! The world is full of possibilities!

I start the day with good intentions. The windows are naked except for some sheers. I have the fabric to make the curtains - oooh, looky at that bird at the feeder! What is that? I must look it up. And before you know it I've read volumes on the birds native to North Carolina and the windows are still naked, the dishes aren't clean and the laundry pile has miraculously grown to the size of Stone Mountain (NC not GA!)

And let's not even talk about the near all-nighters I have pulled to finish a customer's order cause I was distracted by knitting or basketball or watching a movie with my sweet, understanding Hubby! (He also cooks and does dishes! I am one lucky gal!)

Here's one of my distracters!


Dang, that window needs cleaning...........................
