And then I get another idea.

If you read here now and again, you probably know that I am preparing for a show – an online show of my own. The way my mind works (we’re in uncharted territory here) is that I have a few plans for pieces I would like to create and then I start working.

Now you would think that this would keep my brain quite engaged enough without venturing down other paths but

actually what happens is that being wide open to make whatever I want, my mind starts jumping here and there with all kinds of thoughts. Little bits of notes and pieces of scrap paper start to accumulate with the “next” idea for a bear or friend or whatever.

If I were in my right mind (in reality I am because I’m a lefty but that’s neither here nor there), I would realize that there is no way – no w.a.y. – no way I will get them all completed. Does that have any impact on my aspirations? Heck no. I just stir all those little pieces of paper around on my desk; continue sewing and then I get another idea.

    1. Hello Mari,

      You have got it exactly! I'm guessing that a lot of people are like us too. "Nice to meet you fellow lefty!"

      Thanks for reading too!

  2. Dear Miss Ginger, is your desk like granny's? Hers get heaps of papers all over it.She tells me not to shift any thing because she won't be able to find it. (HMMMM I wonder if she can find things now. She says she can.
    We are all wondering what you are going to make?.
    Hugs

    1. Hi Wilbur,

      Oh my! I can't say for sure but I can tell you that in the middle of making things it's quite a sight with heaps of 'stuff' everywhere. And she's probably onto something when she says don't move anything. I understand that completely. Tell you granny I said hello!

      hugs,

  4. If your mind wants to veer off into the land of Pandas, I'm all for it. I really am excited to see what's coming XD

    1. Hi Heather!

      I'm excited to see what's coming too! :D

      I like the way the Panda turned out and will probably revisit it again - whether or not I do it before the show or after is yet to be determined. You know how these things go!

    1. Hi Jack and The Clan,

      I respect your evaluation of the situation. Are you by chance an expert at pandemonium?

      :D
