cleaning, sewing, and avoidance

I am the worst blogger in the world. I find I have so many unfinished projects and then I bounce from one thing to another often not finishing a lot of things. I guess that's why sewing is nice, yes I have unfinished sewing projects, but usually I finish them, and there is an end. In the world of being a mother and housewife there are so many things that are endless. There isn't a whole lot of a sense of accomplishment and I think I kind of crave that. I find myself ignoring my cleaning duties and such b/c there is no real satisfaction. It's never done, and even as I work on it my kids are destroying it behind me.

So right now the "project" is reorganizing. This project was started 2 weeks ago and has left the house in disarray since it's inception. I took almost a week off completely from it and switched over to sewing a historic dress for Biggest end of year project, the dress came out well and I learned that sewing zippers is insanely easy with the help of a zipper foot. I have been, for years now, avoiding any pattern or project that involved a zipper. I use avoidance a lot in my projects until finally I force myself to confront something, usually by giving myself a public deadline of sorts. I cooked my first (and only) turkey like that, not that I won't cook another one, I just need to find a good price. I suppose I should get back to my "project" instead of sitting here on blogger being distracted.
