To-Do List
I’ve been blog cruising lately, and I’m coming up with this enormous list of things I want to make and create and do, and I’m frustrated by the time limits that I’ve got because there just isn’t enough time in my day to do the things I’d like to!
For example, these checkbook covers are adorable. I want to make a metric ton of them. And also, adapt them to passport covers. They wouldn’t really take that much time, but I’d also like to finish that lace scarf I posted last time. And the socks. And maybe turn out another quilt. And let’s not even get into the inspiration that Flickr is providing these days – I have to restrain myself some days from running straight out and buying fabric for the tons of quilts that I see and love.
And oh, the cooking I could be doing. Recipes everywhere, but not enough time to dig into the really juicy ones. THANKS, JULIA CHILD. That cookbook is the devil.
But I’ve got these responsibilities – kids, work, school, keeping the house in somewhat of a decent state, showering…things that stand in the way of my so-called hobbies (but let’s be honest, I’ve gone beyond the “hobby” stage with this stuff. Just don’t tell my husband). Although, I’d say that if they want to keep me from snapping people’s heads off, they’d give me mandatory knitting or sewing time every day. It’s really a public service that I’m doing, sneaking in a few minutes here and there between chapters of Economics, bath times, conference calls and the like.
For the crafty out there – please stop being so awesome, at least just for a while. You’re really distracting me from the things that I need to be doing to keep up appearances as a responsible adult.
