Attempting to do Everything

The problem with being a creative person is that I can see things done. Done, not the way they are in reality, but DONE. Without outlets showing and bin container lids offering  to intrude upon the space......
 Taking photos of Sue Solakian's Golden Doubloons Shawl draped over a chair was perfect in my mind. The first attempt was severely thwarted by forgetting to put the memory card in the camera.
Groan!
Like frogging a piece of crochet that has a mistake, in photography there is cropping, and even retouching for removing the dust bunny that strayed into the photo.

Don't get me wrong-I love what I do. It's just that sometimes, it would be nice to live in a parallel universe simultaneously with this one- one in which I could take a nap while things still got done.This time of year is even worse than usual, because there are memories, both good and bad, associated with this time of year that add expectation and disappointment and angst to the already bubbly cauldron of emotion and work.

Oh well, it is what it is- 24 hour days and the old broad moves as fast as she's going to move and that's that. This pattern will get done when it gets done......

Golden Doubloons Shawl by Sue Solakian in Lion Brand's Heartland, both the solid and the tweed Shenadoah. As soon as I get er done!
