when I am done
I like rewards. you do too, so don't say you don't! I actually really, really like rewards. it's like getting a balloon after a good dentist app or a sticker after voting. it doesn't have to be huge, just something that tells me good job, you did it.
in this case, I've had two really good rewards. after all those monkey's I needed to get back to spinning and doing what I really love. and my projects have been stacking up and I get overwhelmed when there is too much on the plate and I can't see myself eating it all. I had the monkeys, some unplied singles, a vest that I've been mentally designing and on paper designing for probably a year, a new set of carders just waiting to get used and two quilts that need quilting. see what I mean?
so one of my great rewards was to ply those singles. they turned out really good and I was eager and anxious to get them done and enjoy the yarn. here's the final product.
then I got really happy and I had planned to wait until the king sized monster was done before starting on my happy Halloween quilt, but I couldn't help myself and decided I would start on it. I tried so many things to keep myself from doing it, like telling myself I had to buy a new hoop to do it, since my other one is tied up with the monster...that didn't work. then I said I didn't have a coupon to get thread and a hoop, but that didn't work either, I found one.
there's still a smidge of work on it, but it was done so fast I couldn't resist getting it off the plate.
now there is only the monster, the vest and my new carding tools. I can do the latter two at the same time....well not simultaneously, but the same time. I'll have to get diligent and work on that monster. there's still a bunch more to do, I'm only in the thick of the forest now.
there's also the good news of a good doctor's app and the prospect of not having to go back for a year after a set of tests again in a couple of months. when that's clear, then I'm good for a year. with that, I rewarded myself with a hot dog and fox soup. I know totally random, but pancakes are Saturday.
in the meantime, have a great rest of the week.
