coming up for air. So often lately I've been getting overwhelmed by the world. So much to do, so many things to make, a career to not mess up, library books to return, dinner to cook. How do people manage to do this day in and day out forever?

Anyhow, after the last craft fair, I've had a big sigh of relief! Sure, there are a few really fun events coming up, but none of them are so big and high stress! I can make stuff I want to instead of endless variations of hats.

With all this new free time, I'm noticing that every surface in my craft room is covered! Yarn, paper, boxes, wedding gifts, etc. And there are many many projects to be finished that are just in hiding! I posted an entire list on my wall next to my desk so I cannot miss it! There are 3 socks, 3 sweaters, a scarf, mittens, and a bag (or more, I can't remember!) to finish. 10 items. One sock pair needs a single toe; another just a stretchier bind off. Two sweaters need kitchenering.

This. is. manageable.

Hopefully I can maintain focus til at least half are done?! The longish term goal is the end of december. out with the old, and all.

p.s. I started a man sweater. No idea what will happen near the top of it, but the sleeves have almost 10 inches already! The plan is to go back and forth with this and the easier finishing tasks. We'll see! I told him I wouldn't promise an end date!  ¶ 19:06
