I seemed to get far more done when I was working full time than now ... and
I'm home all day. I think before -- I knew I had this one little window to
accomplish a task -- so I took advantage of it. Now -- I have tomorrow, or
the next day, or the next day... and it is SO EASY to procrastinate.
What's the old adage -- if you want something done -- give it to a busy
person!

Very interesting observation, Kate. I'll have to bear that in mind. I,
too, am home all day. Perhaps, knowing I'll have time to do something
later allows me to procrastinate.
Best regards,

Just an idea for your multiple post cards. It was probably shown on
Quilting Arts program that you make a large piece of collage complete
with quilting and then cut it into pieces the size of the post card.
Even if you just did this for the background and added details on the
individual post cards after cutting I would think it would save time.

Thanks. I am trying to make sets of two to four at a time. I'm using
scraps of "Peltex" that was leftover from a couple of fabric boxes I made
last year, so trying to be frugal and use them up!

I'm not going anywhere and I don't have a boat load of commitments promised
and I still can't manage my time. How do you convince a doctor that you, as
an adult, have ADD?
Oh, look, a bird!
