Oh Christmas, how you drive me nuts. Every year I set unreasonable goals for myself and get let down when I don't achieve them, or when I have to compromise. Like last year, I made a calendar, 'cos I said I would, and I hated the result. But still I had them printed and gave them out to everyone, because... Why? Who knows.
This year's unreasonable goal includes making a million, (50 or so,) pot holders. Right about now I'm ready to throw in the towel and cancel all Christmas crafting. Yup, sorry folks, but you don't get presents this year. From me. Having just written that, I realize that no one will actually hold it against me if they don't receive a pair of handmade pot holders this Christmas. Huh.
There are a handful of other projects on the go that I will finish and send out. Like the cushion covers and Cathy's present. I think I'll just focus on those tonight until this little tantrum of mine is over.
In other news, I've made a new friend on the Coast, she likes to sew and craft and she's a new mom and she even has a neurotic dog, just like we do! It's been pretty awesome to have someone to talk to about different crafty projects and about parenting... I tell Steve about all the things in my head, but I suspect he only pretends to listen and by now probably thinks I'm crazy.
He recognizes this xmas pattern of mine, and just shakes his head. Personally I hope to get the motivation back in order to finish these sewing projects, especially considering the time, (and money,) already invested. I mean seriously, I've already cut most of them out, I just have to sew them together! This is just a temporary blip, due to an afternoon of unsuccessful trial runs... Positive thought will return, after these messages.
