I think I am nuts for the number of projects I have going at one time...
I have the 2 tests in progress (both of them do not take time on my part, I did what I needed to do to get it started, one is about time, one about usefulness)
Then I have 2 sewing projects in progress, one is the 2nd quilt (see quilting post) and the other is the un named mother's day gift. that one is much closer to done, only one more sewing day to finish it. I usually sew for 1-2 hours on a day then my body says time out no more bending over the machine..
I also have 2 crocheting projects in the works (one is with scraps so it is not a main project) But there are days I cannot crochet (thanks hands for hurting when I have other plans)
so I am not able to have just one project in the works, I need projects that I can do while sitting, standing, and even laying down if I am having a really bad day..
Oh and I am in the planning stages of several more projects... One will be done this week, results will be posted in a few weeks (testing time, cannot post about something until it has been put threw the paces)
On a "fun" note my washer decided to start making odd noises and walking across the floor like it has never done before :( we found a repairman that would talk to us over the phone and he is almost 100% on what is going (it is only a $50 part but it can take 2-4 hours to replace, and the chances of another piece needed replaced is high, that part is $200 he said that the parts often break at the same time..) so after adding up the cost to fix it seems better to replace it, it had a good life,10 years and 4 moves. the last move it did not like and it gave us trouble for a week after that, and the main knob is having issues also (on the inside, but it does not happen all the time) If my dad was here to fix it it would be better to keep it... as it is the labor that adds up fast. I had thought about selling it on the local classifieds (a TV station runs a great site here) for cheap (as is, needs work, king of a deal) but it looks like we might have found it a home where it is needed and an improvement over the current one. I am a firm believer in helping others when you can, in any way you can. While I could make $100 off it I would rather gift it when needed so that when I am in need of a gift the chances of me getting it are higher (not thinking this person would "repay" it, but Karma : do good and good will come to you)
