Custom

Well, I didn't get anything new and interesting made. I have a good excuse though, I got distracted. No, it is a good excuse because I was distracted by custom orders. I got one in while I was making breakfast and I worked dutifully on a custom pair of barefoot sandals much of the day. When I finished with them quicker than I thought I started straight away thinking of a new design, but just as I pulled out my drawer of inspiration patterns, I got another custom order. So the books got put away and I got back to work.

Both customs were existing designs in different colors, but I took one picture just so I could have some tatting on the blog today.  Actually this gives me something else to talk about. When the order contained a custom pair of bobby pins, I pulled out my supplies to get some black bobby pins out, that I could not find. I mean I looked for like fifteen minutes before that little baggy finally slid out from a mass of baggies. My organizational skills are seriously lacking. Well actually it's more like I just need to get more bins so I can divide things better. Then again I keep thinking I should get rid of things I don't need or haven't yet used, but I fear the inevitable desire to have those things back as soon as they've gone. Pack rat syndrome is strong in our house.

Today I have a couple new things in the remake queue and then I'm kind of hoping I get distracted by sales again. If I don't I was almost onto something new yesterday, so maybe I can recreate that feeling and get something interesting done. If I can't perhaps I'll attempt to apply some more organization to my supplies. I guess that gives me plenty of tasks to choose from, now I just have to wait and see where the day takes me.
