See This?

What you see here is my downfall. I love to knit and crochet. I drag my feet when it comes to hiding the ends on things I have finished. It is my least favorite part of the whole process and I do practice and have gotten very good at procrastinating techniques that keep me from getting this done. Things like writing a blog post are a great way to keep from sitting down and getting these things done. Trust me there is some great knitting in that pile.

By the end of the week I want to have these things and more in my new Shop Handmade store. I will check back in on Friday and let you know how much I got done, promise.

One of Those Days

Did you ever have one of those days? You know the kind. You check mail, read blogs, look around forums, and find silly little things to google. All of these silly little things that keep anything useful from getting done because you just don't feel ready to get to work? I have them and today is one of them.

The visual for the post today is brought to you by Ela & company.

Libraries

Sometimes I get carried away with things. I have kind of found myself at a stand still with crafting. I have so much that needs to be photographed and put online that making more things seems rather silly.

So the other day I went to the library and checked out six books, some are fiction and some nonfiction. Since I wanted a fast read I chose to spend the afternoon yesterday with the thinnest of the six. It was Nancy by Michael Deaver. It was a pleasant story obviously written by some one who really admired Nancy Reagan. I don't really know enough about her to have an opinion one way or another. I remember how the press treated her at times but I always figure that if you cut the exaggerations of the print and television news about in half you are probably closer to the truth on most matters.

It has felt real good to spend the last two days with my nose buried in books. Tomorrow some photography and new listings and will be introducing my new photography assistant, Molly.
