Lists and half finished projects... it doesn't end. So much I want (or need) to do.
I want to make a basket full of pretty hearts for Valentines day. I want to finish some sewing patterns and get them ready to print. I want to make an apron. I want to make a table cloth.
I need to finish the laundry. I want to start some new designs. I want/need to finish the color card for the first line of fabric. I want to write a book, design paper, learn how to knit, go to school, get on the phone and make some sales calls (that's a need to rather than want to).
I want to curl up on the couch and watch The View and then Oprah. I want to work out, walk my dogs, play with my kids, make a nice meal. I would really like to go to the movies. And eat a candy bar. Take a bath. Need to put some socks on my freezing feet.
I really want to finish the quilt for our bedroom... and painting the bedroom would be good too. Did I ever tell you that we have had test paint splotches on my wall in my bedroom for years and still have not decided on a color? See, something has to give.
I'd like to do all these things and do them all right now. I'd like to clone myself and I'd like to add an additional 6 hours to the day.
And I want them to be sunny bright hours. If hours are added to the day, it should be the middle of the day, don't you think?
I think that what I'm going to do is finish what I was doing before I got distracted and started to write this entry. Off to the cutting table. Oddly, that wasn't on the list. Maybe because I was already doing it.
You've stopped at the online journal of Bari Ackerman (the J. is for Jill, my middle name). I am a fabric, sewing pattern and surface designer. I love to create. And, I love to share ideas and dreams with other creative people. I hope you'll stay for a visit. And, feel free to chime in on the conversation. You know, so I don't think I'm talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
