What I did this weekend. I think.
That big sucking sound you hear is me:
How was your weekend? Mine felt like it was in a time warp. . . like time was speeding by and I was barely moving. It just took so much longer to get things done than I expected.
So what took so long?
A tedious trip to the craft store. JoAnn’s has opened up a much larger store across the bridge. Which would make a girl think, or made this girl think, that finding fabrics to match her custom dye colors would be a breeze. It was not. I should have known better after last week’s dismal trip to match ribbon to Liberty of London fabric. Just call me delusional. I walked around and around the fabric department muttering under my breath while pushing one of those ridiculously small carts. There were 2 dozen bolts of ballerina pink fabric and no plum to be found. Why is that? After what seemed like a lifetime scouring the organza offerings, it dawned on me while standing at the cutting counter. I should have just dyed my own fabric.
I’m pretty sure at the moment time whizzed past me and I lost a few hours.
And then there was the door. I’ve decided to use the old door in our new bathroom for a backdrop, hoping the light in the space will create the kind of photographs I want. It’s strange, but the best light in the house this time of year is in our bathroom. It’s a difficult space to shoot in, I suspect I’ll be standing in our tub for most of session. I just can’t ignore that light. However, the door was left unpainted and was in pretty bad shape, so before any photographs could be taken, I had to paint.
TIME WARP. I don’t even know where Saturday went. I have a painted door. But that’s all I can give you. I think IZ and I may have walked that day, but the rest is a blur. Â Does that ever happen to you? You just lose time. Â . . like, now, maybe, reading this post? I’m sorry. You can’t have your 10 minutes back.
I suffer from time-space problems every day. I sit down in front of my computer – handle what seems to be a few customer requests and some fires – and then “poof” my day is *gone*.
They say time flies when you are having fun. I just think time flies REGARDLESS of your mental state of well being…
Right? Because work has been anything but entertaining lately. I hope things get better… fast!
I have fallen into the time-vortex more than once. But I do not regret the loss of ten minutes here. lol. I gain more than I lose here. 🙂
Soooo looking forward to the slips… Maybe a little too much.
Oh. . . thanks, Carly. I’m having a time of it lately. I’ll get my mojo back, I’m sure. It’s just hard. You know?
It will all be worth it when you get the first reviews back on the new slips. I am LOVING the preview.
Really? That’s SO good to hear. I’ve been in a dither about Mireio. . . not feeling like I have a handle on it and that I’m out of touch. I’m so glad the slips are striking the right chord out there. . . I will persevere! Thank you!!
You are amazing!! I like the seasonal decorations at JoAnn’s and have gotten some great deals. 🙂
