Avoiding a thing.

I puzzled all afternoon yesterday.  I sat in front of an open door (full screen door) and found that the afternoon air was much less humid and bearable.  It took till mid afternoon for the whole house to air out.  

There was some knitting but no sewing.  However, there will be some level of sewing today.  There has to be.  Sitting contemplating the things in my world this morning, I decided that I am really being silly by not getting the sewing done.  Or even started.  I have no idea why I am avoiding it.  It isn't like dishes, which is a task I loathe.  I like sewing.  I will force myself into the sewing room and will at least get a start. Once that start is underway, I know I will be beguiled by the feel of the fabric.  And the colours, textures, and all the things I can do with it.  

I have been thinking a lot about other things too.  A lot of the Podcasters I watch are working hard to use up their ends and bits left over from projects. I think of my overflowing 2 full bins of yarn  leftovers and my very big bin plus more of fabric scraps.   I would sure like to get the space back that these things are taking, but I have no idea what I want to do with them.  There are a lot of creative things going on out in the world with all those ends and I think I want that creativity more than the projects.  No rush and there will always be more bits.  I just don't want the bits to overwhelm the rest of my lovely things.  

That is where my brain is at today.  I am not allowing myself to take out another puzzle.  I have not yet pulled out any knitting.  I am going to be responsible and hit the sewing room.  

As soon as my phone and headphones are charged.  Yeah.  That's me.  Finding ways to avoid a thing.
