Procrastination Street

I have three things I have actually committed to make for xmas this year, and I have spent the last few weeks doing everything in my power to avoid working on them. It's as though I am deliberately trying to create stress for myself, now that I think of it.

First, I am sewing a robe for my husband. I have completed about 2/3 of it, but I need to pick a few stitches out, and I think that's the sticking point; I can't bring myself to do it, so I am avoiding the project altogether.

The other two things are T shirts I am going to decorate for my two sisters. I'm stalling on those because I'm not sure how I want to do it. The stupid thing is I know that if I just start on it and keep going I will come up with something decent, and if I don't I have extra shirts to mess up.

The problem is that I keep thinking of other projects to work on; I need to make medium-sized cloth diapers because my little monster already outgrew the small ones I made and we're back to using disposables ("trashies" in the cloth diapering community vernacular). And I want to make him some fleece booties & hats, and I have materials & a pattern to make a bunch of sleep sacks, and if I had the time & motivation I was going to sew up some pajama pants to give as gifts. And my husband asked me to make marble magnets for a bunch of people a few (more like two) days ago.

That's it. I'm going to work on each of the three xmas projects for a set amount of time today.

How embarrassing

It has been over one year since I posted to this blog. Well, I have been getting the urge to blog lately, so maybe I'll keep it going this time.

I have a new baby, so I've been sewing cloth diapers lately:





I'm trying to come up with my own pattern since I didn't much like the ones I sewed from free patterns I found online, nor did I like the fit of the purchased pocket diaper I tried. I like the way the Imse Vimse wool wrap fit him, but he's probably going to outgrow it soon.

I haven't been knitting much for the past several months because I got tendonitis during my pregnancy, and I didn't feel like knitting much anyway.
