Have you ever let yourself be distracted by something? I did not accomplish much in the rug hooking end of things this past week. I hooked a few loops on a 6″ wall hanging and that was it.
I did, however, have company till Tuesday. And Hubby and I re-arranged the living room and hallway Tuesday afternoon. See that big blank wall in the photo? That’s my blank canvas for hanging some of my hooked wall hangings.
Wednesday I had gym, and spent the afternoon planning a trip to a nearby province in June. That was when I thought I’d better pull out the stamp collection and dust it off before selling it. That proved a mistake from the point of view of getting any rug hooking done! I also prepared for a friend’s birthday party and went to the party in the evening.
Thursday I sent hubby to pick up some stamp stock pages for me so I could at least organize the stamps before selling them. What I thought would be a one hour job has taken six so far. There are a lot of them!
Friday was gym day, lunch out with friends, and a surprise. I forgot I was going to be tutoring in the afternoon. My student showed up with her daughter in tow…no school last week. I decided to make it a light lesson. We went to a nearby church rummage sale, as she had never heard of them. Came back and let her daughter play an ESL app on my iPad called Opposites while I listened to her read and corrected pronunciation. Had a nap and worked on those stamps until Hubby came home.
We decided to go out to a buffet for supper. One of our meals was free. Went for a walk afterwards and spent the rest of the evening napping. I must have been tired, because I woke up from the nap around 10 PM, worked on the stamps and hour or two, and then slept a full eight hours!!! Feeling much better today.
Hopefully next week I will accomplish more on the rug hooking end of things.
LOL I feel much better now–seems I’m not the only one whose “best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men Gang aft agley”!
Oh yeah. I worked on that collection all weekend and still have Oceania left to do. Talk about time consuming!
