DIE! ;p<br /><br />Hey, are you watching 'Orange is the new Black' on Netflix streaming??!! It is so wild and funny!

Instead of feeling guilty, I call these bits and pieces a "bank account" -- like a seed bank. Of course I start new projects regularly, but if I add to my "bank account" for later inspiration, it's OK. Today, everyone dipped in and pulled enough strips/blocks/bits to start them on a charity project.CarolBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774006992965789171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-80964961939027026122013-08-06T18:30:09.506+10:002013-08-06T18:30:09.506+10:00ARRGH !

I nearly got diverted into creating a tea wallet. then we realised that the card wallet pattern I already use (not mine) which everyone says "they're really nice, but I don't know what I'd keep in it" is just the right size for 3 teabags.<br /><br />so i'll have to do the sensible stuff again.<br /><br />and I'm meeting someone from the embroiderer's guild on Thursday...

While not fatal it can be extremely uncomfortable as the brain finds ever-increasing numbers of projects to start AND, fortunately, dismisses projects that remain outstanding. Seems to be quite virulent among the crafting community. Can be treated but not cured.trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522550420718532131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-42107608468497490142013-08-06T14:50:23.395+10:002013-08-06T14:50:23.395+10:00haha needed this.... seems just like me!
