I have to be very conscious of time today. I have a bank deposit to make first thing in the morning, and I want to complete the first page of this year's cards later this morning. I won't get to the rest of the leaves, but I'd at least like to get the first one somewhat completed. I tested out a couple of things yesterday morning, and with the exception of a momentary "Oh crap! Did I miss my measurements THIS badly?" panic attack, everything actually went rather well. The panic was assuaged when I realized I had put the 4th blank in the envelope for the 2nd one. Switching them back to their correct envelopes resolved the issue.

In some ways, my cards are a micro-look at life. There is a starting point and an ending point, and many decisions that need to be made to get from here to there. |
I did have to make one design decision on the fly, but I think it will work fine. I'm going to sandwich in the printing I need to get done this morning, if at all possible. Getting the printing done and taken to the shop will get me one more step ahead. I have plenty still to do, but I'm comfortable with my decisions and happy with the eventual success of the project. It's going to be different than any other card I've sent, which also makes me quite pleased. I don't like repetition - I'll repeat techniques, but don't want to repeat themes or designs.

The pajamas I'm ordering aren't getting great reviews, but they'll do what I want. Of course, I have errands at Target tomorrow, and if I see something there, I might just buy there and pull these out of my Amazon cart. It's always helpful to actually be able to feel fabric and look at seams before buying clothing. |
I'm ordering a new set of pajamas from Amazon later this week. I have a relatively new set I purchased from Target in the spring, and I like them. But, I'm finding that in the winter, having the legs creep up above my knee (coupled with my dislike of having my feet covered) lends itself to cold legs and waking up. I think with cuffed pants so that they can't get above my knees while I sleep, that problem might be resolved. That's the hope, at any rate, and the price of less than $20 also helps.

When it comes to my projects, I have to reign in my normal "Look, a squirrel" tendencies and concentrate on the project at hand and the steps needed to bring it to a successful conclusion. It's good for me to be disciplined every now and then - LOL. |
I want to get an early start, so I'm calling this blog done for the day. Have an excellent Tuesday, and I'll be back tomorrow for a very busy "day off". Please remember to be kind. The ripples of unrest and anger can be overcome by our contrary ripples of love and respect.
