So here I am at the end of my 30 days of finishing projects and I'm not happy with how hard it was for me to finish stuff. No wonder nothing gets done, I have a serious finishing problem. I did get some work done and there are a couple less projects on my 'to finish' list. Also, having this as a challenge made me more aware of the pitfalls I've created, which means in the future I can try to plan my way out of them. So... you know... that's good.
So, for the past few days I've been working on a project I started last year. I want to put more thought into my yard so, I started looking through landscaping books for ideas. I made some plans. I scratched those out and made new plans. Finally, I felt I had exactly what I wanted. I went into the yard and took some measurements (just to double check) and found out the measurements I had been working with were completely wrong and now I need to start again.
And I was so hoping to cross off another project on the list, too.
Today, I gave myself a rest from the indoor projects and worked in the yard. I didn't realize the 'clean up the yard' project was going to be such a big project. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish it this summer.
I'm slowly, but surely, making my way to the end of a knitted sock. Emphasis on slowly. I think I need a break from my sock knitting. I'm gonna pick something else to work on tomorrow.
I can not lie, I'm having a hard time sticking to any one project long enough to make any progress. I mean, yes, I'm making a little progress just by working on it even this tiny bit, but that's not going to get anything finished, is it? GRRRR.
I guess I'm going to have to toss a coin to pick a project and then stick with that project until it's finished. Things may get ugly.
I kept flitting from thing to thing today. I worked on 5 or 6 different projects in need of finishing, but I don't think I worked on any of them long enough to make a dent.
I took a break from the crochet today. Instead, I finished my plans to xeriscape the parkway. I'm tired of mowing it and I don't want to have to water it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to implement my plan until next year.
Project the second; finished.
