too much crafting

Never! Never! Never! Better to craft then to drink, gamble, or throw your money into a shrink's summer cottage. This was the weekend wasn't it. I woke up mending cloths, saw some scrapes that when patched together would embellish a sweat shirt nicely, and then procede to sew a few totebags. (Never have too many tote bags) Went out side for something and saw it was gloomy and went back inside and start to finish crocheting a shawl I was working on when my Mother called asking if I would make a shawl for her co worker. She had the yarn at home. With in minutes, in my PJ's, I was over there picking the year up wondering what colors she had picked. Shade of Fall. I was excited, my Mom clicked in to Mother mode and scolding me for driving around in my PJ's. Went home and started it crocheting the shawl right away. It was so relaxing. Sunday, I finished the shawl, ran out to pick up the paper, dropped the shawl off at my Mom's who again squeaked because I was in my Pj's but she loved the shawl. I then went home and bribed my self "If you do some house work and finish washing you can pick another craft project to finish or start." It worked, I took the bait and finished my chores. I had just gotten my new issue of Polyercafe' Magazine. I relaxed reading it after reading the Sunday News/Freep then remembered a previous article had a necklace I wanted to try and make. spent the afternoon making it. I would have finish it but Sunday turned out to be such a beautiful fall day and I had to go and enjoy it, no not in my Pj's. Picked up so many different color leaves and pine cones. I'm sure I'll think of some craft creation for them. Monday morning, getting ready to start another week of work, I felt so relaxed and happy. Creativity is my drink of choice. Pardon my spelling.
