So much to do!

How do you guys pick between which project to focus on at a time? 

I'll get creatively inspired, and then look at my houses, my writing projects, and my miniature ideas, and the spirit flees....or I turn to my phone to "help organize my thoughts" and then I waste my time and have to go to bed. How do you push yourselves?

:hmm: When you figure it out, let me know! I have four projects in front of me at this moment and am nearly paralyzed with indecision. I may just go back to bed. :D

Walk away and fix yourself a cup of hot chocolate or your adult beverage of choice and pick the one that yells loudest.

The problem there is, that is unquestionably always the baby XD

At least you have a blog to organize them! What are the projects right now?

  • Work on the Beacon Hill (finish living room wallpaper) Need to find the wallpaper paste and then the soldering iron to continue the electricity to the middle floor.
  • Zentangle embroidery. I scanned one of my tangles, printed it on iron-on transfer paper. Plan to put it on a white linen hankie (from my stash of old hankies destined to be doll house curtains, bed linen, etc.), then embroider.
  • Paint more rocks (I live in a retirement community with about 320 apartments and am sneaking rocks onto my neighbors' shelves. Have been doing this for several months and only one person has figured out that I am the culprit 😊.
  • Distribute more rocks. These are the rocks:

There was one more, on the list but I did it today: Recovered frame with brown felt and remounted a "knittery" that I made in a fabric arts class in college umpty-ump years ago. The original felt disintegrated from old age. 0?ui=2&ik=a427b3007b&attid=0.1.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1778857367835251600&th=18afc559ebe81390&view=fimg&fur=ip&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ9SU0StIdKn9clSB03NEwgXp9eZeb6SP_hMuMLysw-fqMzQhj-73spPn6N-JIsKLdeDNpHt8gU4_BIOjBd4wKIub4pKTWM6snmrQmg5xEsCwWvoc1ymeig5mSg&disp=emb

Kathie, I clicked on your link and wound up at a site wanting me to sign up for gmail.  I totally love the rocks!, especially the duck.

Hmm :hmm: I clicked on my link and ended up on my blog. Maybe try again?

Yay for doing one today!!! I love the rock hiding, I hope you stay mysterious. Your Beacon Hill build looks incredible! I forgot zentangles existed, that's a great extension of them! Maybe hide more rocks while you look for the soldering iron? Combine the efforts!

Kathie, your rocks are so pretty! I checked out your blog (the link worked for me), and the aged copper roof on your BH looks great!
