Swaps are addictive.
Sewing is addictive.
Work though sadly, is a major portion of my life. And has currently taken it over with no consideration for how much I am neglecting my Bernina, my fabric, and addiction to quilting. No consideration at all!
So while I am going to staying in my bee's - you can't take those from me work! you can't! *shakes fist in anger* - I am going to finish my current swaps and then swear them off for the rest of the year. I came to this decision after realizing I have not sewn a single thing for myself or a 'in real life' person at all this year! That's just not normal for me!
Besides I have a HUGE sewing to do list that I REALLY want to get cranking on!
Now if only I could start sewing tonight - but alas it is not to be. *insert sad face here* but come this weekend it is just me, my sewing machine, and my fabric! I can't wait!
Sounds familiar! I too have sworn off all swaps going forward. Something's gotta give, right?
ReplyDeleteOh yay for you!! Can't wait to see what you get to produce this weekend ... enjoy every moment and kick that "work" in the hiney!!
ReplyDeleteI've sworn off swaps too ... but I've signed up for a bee instead LOL ...

Uh Oh. Now you can't making 'to do' lists!!! The Lists Are Taking Over!!!!!!!
