I have decided that I have come down with CAD<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
1. My new sewing machine my hubby bought me. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
2. 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
3. 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
4. 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!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
5. Alice’s Country Diary quilt embroidery gets done every now and then. I am on block A7 of the embroidery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
6. My Advent EPP quilt blocks are here beside me. I have 4 to go…Maybe by Christmas I will have it done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
7. And the list goes on and on…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

   I did find one relief from this… It is called a Necessary Adult Pause… otherwise known as a NAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

   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…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Have an awesome crafting day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
