When I am busy, I sometimes leave cleaning up for later. Which can become much later. The last several months have been very busy for me, with unexpected calls on my time and attention. My house in general, and my craft space in particular, have seen the results on my inattention. Now I'm trying to make up for my busy-ness by doing the things I should have already done. It seems like I'm sinking in a swamp of things that need to be done!
My table after I cleaned off a layer!
I have taken time to do some tatting, whether I should or not. The tatting you see on the table is from the start of something new I am trying. I had thought to add more to it, but didn't like where it was going, so stopped and started with something different.
It does make a great bookmark!
I'm happier with my next try. I know, they look nothing alike! True. I changed my mind.
Some people are good at designing on paper or on the computer. I get my best ideas when I have shuttle and thread in hand. What comes out might not be what I want at the time, but it doesn't mean it's a waste of time. I might like it later!
As I'm in the middle of designing and have all kinds of ideas floating around in my head it is very hard to put my tatting down and do what has to be done around the house. The good thing is I can take it with me while I am being my mom's driver. While I wait for her, I can be tatting and not even feel guilty about it!
"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Wayne Dyer
