Lazy days

Thomas among the cushions, so of these I have made myself!!!


Sorry I haven't been updating as much - that's just the kind of girl I am...................I look at a new project with much gusto, and I put all of my energy into it for a long time.................then, for some reason or another (and it's not through lack of wanting,) I just start to lose interest. There are so many projects around our house that are half done, and I get very dismayed when I look around sometimes. I find that I take so much on, but I don't usually get much finished.
Well that just means that I have to stop taking on new tasks. I have my 'scanner planner' book to document my hopes, dreams and ideas, so maybe I should pull that out of the dusty drawer and start writing in there again.
When I have an idea I attack it and am obsessed with this new thought and possibility, but then - when I'm half way to completion - I either tell myself that it'll never turn out like I expected, or maybe I tell myself that it's not worth putting in so much effort, and it lays around, half done.
Maybe I need to read that book again by Barbara Sher - she talks of people who are more in love with the idea of things, then actually doing the tasks - and try and look deeper for the meaning.
You should see the pile of half read books on my bedside table - there are 9 - and I am not kidding when I say that!!! My craft nook has boxes of 'projects on the go', that I never quite get around to finishing. I seem to get dissilusioned or something, like I don't deserve the praise if it's done, or something crazy like that.
This is obviously something that I need to go and research..................I hear there's a great book at the library that I could read and look into!!!!!
hopeless, aren't I!?!!!
