balance

and how to find it?


i am an 'all or nothing' sort of person

either i give it my all or i give it nothing
i am not good at doing a little bit of time here and a bit of time there
i prefer working on a prodject TO THE EXCLUSION of all else until it's done
if i have to break for any reason, i loose my momentum and my focus

over the years however, i learned that i could adjust things seasonally and sometimes weekly
but really it is much better for me to start something and see it though to the end

this is what is trying to happen with the studio reorganization
but i got stopped in my tracks by a need for a few things and not enough money to pick them up

so i am doing other things on the studio list like those file boxes
(btw, katherine, air the soap boxes out with coffee in them or unscented cat litter, or use a heavy cardboard carton cut down)

i can't do the pocketed curtain for the front of one workbench unfortunately until i unearth the actual workbench............then there is the little matter of.....i don't have the fabric yet either
(but cream and black toile, unbleached muslem and ticking stripes fortunately are rarely out of production)

so i am still sorting and labeling
but i can't get back on the drafting table......( i almost can't get to the drafting table at all)
this weekend we are to put the second shelf up which is also on wheels so even though i have no place to put them right now
i WILL have more space to put things out
and the envelopes to put my homemade patterns in ........ THAT is what i made that file box for

so it will continue
i hope that the weather will stop with the rain already
i have a few things to paint and now the weather is holding me up a bit

so what did i come downstairs to this morning????

RAIN

so what else is new

i gotta fungus again
damn rain
