Where did day 16 go?

I'm not sure what happened to my Day 16 post. It was there and then it wasn't. Oh well.

I finished hemming a jacket from last Fall. I hate how I know I need to do something and I know it won't take me 10 minutes, but still, I put it off.  Procrastination is my middle name.

Pictures can be found under the 31 days tab. Please don't mind the wreaths in the picture. I'm out of places to stick them for the moment.

Two days with no internet

Hooray! It rained.

On days 11 and 12 we had no internet. It's surprising how much stuff you can do when you're not glued to a keyboard or mouse, staring blindly at a screen. It also helps when the electricity goes off for a bit.

On Day 11 my intention was to sew, but short of dragging out one of the treadle machines or sewing by hand it wasn't happening. Instead, I schlepped furniture downstairs to the basement. The bench from Day 1 and the table from Day 5 are out of the way for the time being. No more stubbed toes or grumbling husband.

Day 12, still no internet. Bummer. I tackled the garage and took a load of paint-able furniture to storage. Now DH is really happy. Silly man, I have a plan for that stuff.

So, while there's no pictures to show my finishes, I did finish a couple of things.

31 Days


I'm linking up with Nester for her 31 days project. 

My goal is 31 days of finishing projects I have laying around here.  That Current Projects tab up there, that's not even scratching the surface of what I've started and not finished. 

I confess...I am the queen of starting projects and a slave to finishing them. 

My main problem now that I'm working full-time, I procrastinate. I'm can find 101 excuses for not doing something when I get home from work. Am I the only one with this problem?

The list of projects I have running right now is a little bit daunting, but really needs to be worked on and whittled down to something approaching manageable. 

So, here's to reclaiming my dining table, clearing out the sewing room, and possibly getting my bathroom painted.
