It took me way too long to finish this Spinning Wheel. You see, I allowed myself to be distracted today.
I spent a good hour and a half fixing a paper jam on my printer. It shouldn't have taken so long, but I couldn't figure out how to get the back of the printer open. I finally turned the printer a different way, and I immediately saw how to open it. Unbelievable!
I also spent a long time researching piecing with equilateral triangles. There are some wonderful YouTube videos on cutting and piecing equilateral triangles. Did I really need to watch them all?
Dave turned on the t.v. after lunch and there was a Fixer Upper marathon. I watched all afternoon!
Usually when I'm watching t.v. I tat, but not today. No, I laid down on the couch and snoozed on and off for most of the afternoon.
I finally sat down to tat in the late afternoon, and I managed to finish my Spinning Wheel a short time ago. I do love the color of this one. It's in size 80 Majestic #849, and it measures about 3 1/2" across.
I'm pretty tired from all the inactivity of the day! I guess I'd better start setting some goals for myself so that I don't fritter away all of my days!
You are completely entitled to some frittering, really! You're retired!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Michelle! Before I read her comment, I was going to write something similar. You're allowed to have days with no structure or goals, watch TV, investigate craft videos or even take a nap!
ReplyDeleteI've had printer situations, too. I got the back of the printer off, but then couldn't get it back on! Then there was the time I found my sunglasses inside my other printer - total disbelief! - but that's another story! (And the printer still works!)
Sometimes we need to recharge our batteries and fritter a day away. As long as we don't fritter every day away, right?
ReplyDeleteA paper jam is enough to put anyone off their stroke. This spinning wheel is just glorious!
ReplyDeleteI do love that tiny thread and next time place a size 20 next to it so we can see the difference :) I too have spent much time doing many other things this summer and nothing much at times.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shade of blue !
ReplyDeleteI'm going through net connectivity problems - very sporadic connection :-(
Beautiful spinning wheel glass mat!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWith all you did before and since you retired, one day of mostly rest was probably a needed thing!!! :)
A little frittering now and then is a good thing. I don't think you are in any danger of making a habit of it. I hope you feel refreshed.
