Yes, I have a problem. It is called "I-start-too-many-projects-and-get-overwhelmed-and-don't-finish-them-until-many-months-later-if-ever." We can just call it procrastination for short. I have so many ideas, and some of them I just don't realize how big they are until I am in the middle, and then you know the rest. It's a very sad story. I have an adorable apron pattern and project which I mostly finished-
in March, like maybe 75% of the way, and then stopped. I have been working on sewing and making a pattern for toddler training pants (for potty training) but temporarily lost steam on that too. I have some yummy summer recipes I would love to share, I just need to write them down. I intend on finishing all these projects, but when? Who knows, right? So I am telling all of you so I have some accountability. Hopefully by stating my intentions here, I will be motivated to finish projects I have already started! Ok, but now I feel a little insecure (haha) because it sounds like I haven't finished any projects at all (besides what I have already blogged about). Well, I have, but they are kind of little things, and don't necessarily deserve a blog post all of their own. But here are a few things I have worked on and actually finished over the past couple months:
 |
| Noah's Ark cake for my baby! Marissa and I did this together before she left. We used marshmallow fondant to make the animals and cover the cake. |
 |
| First pair of potty training pants- adorable, but a bit too small. Still working on it! I also made a car seat protector pad, but no picture. Look for more on this! |
|
 |
| I got to help prepare a gorgeous tea party as per tradition for my mom, aunt, sisters, and some of my cousins. |
 |
| Just to prove I was there this time... (I am on the left) |
 |
| I helped my mom re-cover the window seat cushions. This was NOT a small job! We worked on it in March when I was visiting, and finished it the last time I was there. |
 |
| The other cushion. Yeah, I know it is pretty much the same, but you know, it has to be representative of the amount of time spent on it and all. |
 |
| I bought this girly chair at a garage sale last summer for $2 and finally got around to re-covering it this year for my son's Thomas the Tank Engine- themed 3rd birthday. |
Ok, I am getting to work!

I've been stalking your blog for a while. Let us know how the training pants turn out. I've been meaning to make some for my son as well. What did you use for the cuffs and waistband?
ReplyDeleteI want to know about the training pants, too!
ReplyDeleteTotally sympathize with the "too-many-projects" problem. New projects always seem to pop out of my head any time I have a big project deadline getting reeeeeally close. I've learned to do an outline of those projects and save them until later. Then when later comes, I tend to find that I'm not as excited about them as I thought I would be.
