finish projects I have been procrastinating over

Years and years ago my sister bought me a cookbook. It was blank, with a section for each type of dish (appetizers, soups, main dishes, etc.)

Anyway, once in a while I think to write a recipe in it, but usually I have my favorite recipes written on scraps of paper and stuffed in drawers, other cook books, and jars in the kitchen.

I collected every recipe I could find and wrote them all in the book. My Mum will be so pleased… now I won’t be calling her saying, “You know that recipe for such and such? I can’t find it. Can you give it to me again?”

My second project I have been procrastinating over: Finish crocheting a hat for my daughter. My girls loooove hats, but since summer is on the way, I decided to make each of them these lacy cotton skull caps (they’re kind of hippy looking, but they are adorable on the girls with their little braids hanging out). Anyway, I had 4 done, and needed to finish the 5th hat, so I could give them to the girls all at the same time. I finished last night!!!

I finished sewing curtains for my 7 year old daughter’s bedroom. They were all measured, cut out, the machine was even threaded with the right color… but they’ve been sitting there just waiting to be sewn for… months. I confess… actually 11 months. I started them just after we moved to the new house. We’ve been in the “new house” a year now.

_{Personally, I think the reason I procrastinated was that the fabric was soooooo bright. She picked this white fabric with a riot of pink, aqua, yellow, and purple flowers all over it. It practically hurt my eyes to look at it.}
