Yesterday was a strange day - grey, cold, and rainy. And I woke up extra early, which is so unlike me. After nearly 3 hours catching up with my online students, it was time to do something else besides sitting at the computer screen. I felt very restless and couldn't seem to finish anything I started the rest of the day.
For example, I sorted out 3 loads of laundry - but didn't do any of it after getting distracted in my sewing room when I took something downstairs to put away. I made 8 more Roll On blocks before boredom set in. Ten blocks left to make for the baby quilt.
Boredom caused me to start day dreaming, and that made me remember that I had another UFO that needed binding. So, I made binding for the Ohio Star quilt, but then didn't actually attach it to the quilt. Maybe that will happen over the weekend.
Once that binding was prepped I set it aside and that's when I saw my Farmers' Wife Sampler book laying there. The blocks for this week had been posted on Monday. Another PIVOT, and I managed to get Broken Sugar Bowl and Calico Puzzle done.
Still feeling restless - I worked on binding a baby quilt for a little while, but still have the final side to finish. Decided to switch some decor items to look more like Spring - but only got one table runner switched out before I was distracted again sorting out the over abundance of runners I own.
My mother would have asked if I "had ants in my pants" yesterday. Today I'm trying to focus on getting that laundry done and putting away the mess I made around the house yesterday. Taking a break to sit at my computer to blog, check Facebook, and read my favorite blogs - does that mean I'm distracted again? Wish me luck!
Some days are like that! You laid some good groundwork flitting from project to project!
ReplyDeleteEven though you were distracted and restless yesterday, it sounds like you got a lot accomplished.
ReplyDeleteNot boredom, ATTENTION DEFICIT! Ask me how I know . .
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling! Hope you can get things back in focus today.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the distraction actions passed quickly and you had a much better next day. But even distracted, you still got a lot done.
