Well, this is not a photo of my Goldfish wall hanging. But it is a photo of more beautiful plants at the Mendel Art Gallery and Conservatory in Saskatoon, SK, Canada.
Not much was accomplished in rug hooking yesterday. My hair appointment in the morning ran a bit late. But it was worth it. I was to a ladies function at the church that was very worthwhile. 🙂
I came home to mail with sad news. A distant relative died and her mother had sent me a note informing me. I spent the rest of the afternoon composing a letter of sympathy and updating her on our life. Seems it’s very busy here. I feel sad for the mom, as her daughter helped her a lot.
Do the rest of you let yourself get derailed like this? How do you handle these situations? I mean, all of these events/situations were worthy of me spending my time at them. But they did distract me from my hooking. I finally fit in a bit of rug hooking in the evening.
Today’s plans are to hit the gym, go to lunch with a friend, and hook some more on Goldfish.
Oh, Jean, my whole life is about distraction these days, no matter what I planned for earlier in the year. Still, I try to do a little High on Hooking planning every day and I’m writing a little more too. These are good things. Sometimes life is like that, and we have to let ourselves be okay with it. This move out west is turning into an “eveything” now. At home and at work where they definitely hope my house won’t sell. My biggest goal right now is to be open to chances in hooking, in writing, and in the little moments…
Ooooh…good luck with your move Laura. Today I made up for my lack of hooking yesterday. I’m in a better place. 🙂
I usually try to do a little something related to rug hooking every day…even if it’s just to have something to blog about! But some days are busier than others, and yesterday was it. I have another busy day tomorrow. Wednesdays are usually my worst days, and I may have to back off from some of my commitments. We shall see.
