procrastination. process. patience.progress.

ah! february already. i've had nothing but time these past few weeks, but haven't made much progress with anything. bits of things here and there, as i seem to be lacking any amount of concentration. as a result, nothing has been finished.

i'm (re)learning to sew (that is, if you can call my experience in a junior high sewing class having learned in the first place), and am discovering that fabric shopping can be addictive as yarn shopping. not good for me in my currently unemployed state. i find myself surprised by the process of sewing: the pinning, cutting, ironing, sewing, ironing, pinning, ironing. there's so much preparation involved, it's more time consuming than i expected. in some ways knitting lends itself better to instant gratification, for me it is almost easier to see things taking shape. maybe this is just because i have been knitting longer.

no pictures today, just wanted to get back into posting. i need to work on the discipline of writing daily. i'll be back soon with work in progress photos and the fantastic gift that m's sister sent me for christmas.

(okay, kim, now it's your turn.)
