It's Getting Out of Hand

Seriously.  The number of projects I have going right now....crazy!  I don't know what I'm thinking. 

  • I have yet to finish the living room painting.  I make small stabs at it but I still have one wall to go.  I'm blaming the entertainment center that is rather large and hard to move for this.  I'd have to be able to devote a large chunk of time to painting behind and around it so I could get it back in place and so far that kind of time has been devoted to other things.  There is this queen sized quilt I'm working on.  Which I think is pretty dumb considering the only other quilt I've finished still sits on my crafting table waiting to be repaired after the second washing came back with even more holes (20+).  Click here for a refresher on that.  I've got Hope's version of that quilt top done but it hasn't been finished.  This new quilt came as a kit from a quilting shop and I've been following the directions to the tee.  Was finishing up the cutting for one of the last sections and BAM, not enough fabric.  I'm irritated. 
  • I also have Hope's first year scrapbook in the works.  I have about 11 pages done but lots more to go.  I just haven't sat at the computer long enough to go through all the pictures and choose the ones to print. 
  • I went to Wally World the other day and saw flowers I just had to have.  After three days of them sitting out, I got them planted but realized I needed to get more.  So out of fear that the specific one I wanted would be gone, I rushed back to buy more.  Which was good because there were only six left.  I bought four....which have now been sitting on the porch for almost a week.  I'm actually very glad it is raining now because those poor little fellas hadn't even been watered since I bought them. 
  • I have several milk jugs laying out waiting for me to poor sand in and attach to the tarp covering our lawn mower outside.  The previously mentioned rain has now made my desire to finish that job even less as the bag of sand is sitting near the half-dead plants. 
  • I really need to sit and post the Easter pics and other things for my poor deprived Husband.
  • And right now, I'm madly trying to finish my Grandma's birthday present, which I'm sad to say is most likely going to be late now.  But it is handmade so hopefully that will help the forgiveness factor.
  • I need more diaper covers for Hope and I'm considering crocheting some myself.  Considering enough that I bought the wool yarn tonight.
  • I have plans for two other projects, one for Hope and one for Gabe, but I haven't figured out what or how to do them.
  • And let's not talk about my small mountain of sewing projects not already mentioned.

I'm going to finish these....honest.....

Ha haa!! I'm glad you posted that because you too can fully appreciate my "unfinished project" mountain, as I can yours. Hey...at least we can't say we're bored and have nothing to do! Hope the trip to Michael's was fun.
