Productivity is a thing that comes and goes for me lately. I either want to or I don't. The motivation is there or it isn't.
It makes me very moody, mainly because I like getting things done. The last couple of weeks I've been working on my quilt, and amazingly enough I have the top and bottom done, all I have to do now is lay them out with the batting and baste it all together.
Easy, right?
Except that I am making a queen size quilt and there isn't a queen size space in my house to lay it out and baste it (I want to make sure I get everything even). Why not do it outside on the grass?
Because of the freakin' wind, rain, snow, and periodic hail.
Bah!
Unfortunately, I'm a little crazy. Since I have set my sights on getting the quilt basted (loosely sewn together) it's very difficult for me to move on to something else (like making that doll for the upcoming family reunion my mom asked for).
(I should also mention that there is a folding table at Costco that I have decided I can't live without, and since I don't have it yet it is hard to start making something... because, having it would make making something so much easier.)
Usually when I come to this type of creative precipice I throw up my hands and watch yet another episode of Angel on Netflix. But today, I had Glee recorded and laundry to fold, and in order to allow myself to watch Glee I had to fold the laundry.
Do I sound nuts to you yet?
So, while I was not creatively productive today, I was housewife productive.
And as soon as I buy myself that table, I will be otherwise productive as well.
