I have decided that I have come down with CAD, Crafter’s Addiction Disease. It is a common disorder and quite a few of us have it. How did I come to this conclusion for myself? In my crafting room, I have piles of things to do, things I want to do, things I have purchased and are waiting to be put away… Just a lot of things.
- My new sewing machine my hubby bought me.
- Block of the month from Quilting is my Therapy. I have 3 months in the box to catch up on. Surely, I thought, one a month I could keep up on. Nope… Apparently the summer heat said don’t cut fabric now. I need to break that reaction to the disease.
- I decided to take up needle tatting. Yes, I tried shuttle tatting many years ago. But using a long needle looks so much easier. I have the needles now and books and thread… For some reason during a feverish moment, I decided this was a good idea. Never let a fever take control.
- Oh, I still have the yarn to knit stuffed animals. I am waiting for the knitting gloves which I ordered a month ago to come in the mail. Well, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!
- Alice’s Country Diary quilt embroidery gets done every now and then. I am on block A7 of the embroidery.
- My Advent EPP quilt blocks are here beside me. I have 4 to go…Maybe by Christmas I will have it done.
- And the list goes on and on…
I did find one relief from this… It is called a Necessary Adult Pause… otherwise known as a NAP.
So what am I working on? I think I need a craft bowl to put my ideas in. Then I can pick one a day and work on that… Unless something shiny comes along and calls my name.
But now I need to find the floss container that I put all my floss for Alice Country Diary quilt in so that I can prepare for the next block (8). Boy, I hope that I didn’t put it in with my other collection of floss. I did keep it separate for a reason. But when I get on a roll, who knows that happened…
Till then, My friends, please join me in battling this condition. I hate to think I am alone in this battle. Let me know what you are working on.
Have an awesome crafting day!
Impressive… However, you are DEFINITELY not alone! I look at my ‘mess’ and know what I need to do… and I try, I really do. And then I don’t… I need that Necessary Adult Pause to do my Scarlett O’Hara impression yet again! We’ll just hang in there and see what our next phase is, I guess!?
