Some days, I have trouble deciding what craft project to work on, and it’s largely because I have too many in progress at any time. At the moment, I can count three that are started, none of which have deadlines, and one more that has a deadline near the end of this month.
And yet, I’m having trouble deciding which one to work on next. That’s not even counting bits of the mending pile, like the large plush dog sitting on my couch because he has a minute seam tear.
“Crafting?,” you may say. ” That’s not on your list of goals.”
True enough, yet here I am, looking at my craft projects. I bought fabric last weekend to make a caftan. I thought I’d be buying blue fabric, but what jumped out at me was a brown fabric with embroidered patterns.
I have a crocheted Cthulhu barely started from before my accident; I had to take a break from crocheting after it for a bit because my shoulder was hurting. Instead of going back to it when I was ready to crochet again, I started a blanket. Ideally, I’ll finish that blanket before it gets too warm; it’s a fairly thick yarn, and I don’t want to be working with it during the summer.
I’m also working on a painting, which is really outside my realm of expertise; I’m far better at crocheting. But I’m enjoying painting as an artistic outlet, and have an idea for the one that will come after this one. I only have one spot where I store a painting in progress, so I do actually have to finish that one before starting the next.
Do websites count as craft projects? I have a couple of those that I need to work on too. Plus all my goals… it’s going to be a busy year.
