Family & Work (and how that gets in the way)

What a hectic couple of weeks.  Of course I knew they would be but still...   I put in some really long days at work (and that will probably carry over for the next couple of weeks)  The kids all had assemblies, or end of year concerts or parties.  But school is out for the summer as of today.  But my Hubby is just as busy at work as I am.  Add to that the Garden is a weed jungle.  The weekends are way too short.

So as I stated in my last post, I would not try to schedule my crafting or set goals to get things done.  This removed the guilt factor of having projects laying around and not working on them.  Does any one else hear their unfinished projects begging to be completed?  Basically I crafted when I could.   I have also made a little progress on cleaning the Studio.   Not a lot, but I did get some book shelves and went through some boxes.  Any progress is better than no progress.  I also knitted several rows on the prayer shawl.  Tatianna will have her memory back before I get this one done but who cares.  Knitting it is for me not her anyway.  Not a whole lot accomplished but I still made progress.  And I didn't start any new projects.

Of course my friend, Lenell, told me about a resin class she took for Mother's Day.  She has been wanting to do this class for a long time.  Her kids surprised her with it.  So, I have been accumulating the stuff I need to do just what she learned.  Now I find out I need a special glue to hold the stuff in the bezels.  I did order that today.  So new projects are not that far off.

My husband and son still haven't put together my bookshelves.  The studio is getting very cluttered and unorganized. My kids will put things (that are mine) on my work surface.  Lately when I go to work on something I have to clear my work area.  Not conducive to stress busting crafting. As often, as not, I end up not crafting at all. I am hoping to get things put together this weekend. If I can get the rest of the family on board and things go as I expect, I can craft to relax during the next couple of weeks.

Here's to wishful thinking.
