projects

I can't really stand to sit around and do nothing.  I've always walked fast, even if I'm not in a hurry.  Just feel like I gotta get somewhere and do something!  However I slowed down while being pregnant, and now with my little guy it makes me a little slower too.  Now that I find myself at home full time until the fall (when I teach again)...I'm wondering what to do with myself.  I've decided to make the most use of my time that I need a bucket list of things to complete before summer's over and a basic routine every day.  I've already finished some projects I'm excited about, but so many others I'd love to get started!  I used to have a chronic problem of starting things and not finishing.  I've mostly gotten over that habit, but there's still a few things I've delayed: in particular a painting of the Manti temple for my mom.  Started a long time ago and meant it to be a Christmas present.  Boy I suck. I'm gonna finish it mom I promise!!!!

I did manage to finish one project: a mobile for Harrison's room.  It's just a ball of twisted aluminum wire that I started wrapped around a basketball.  Then I just twisted and turned wire around inside.  I cut out little bird-plane things from stiff orange felt and then hot glued them around it random places.  It hangs from fishing wire.  I've got to make it super secure so it doesn't come crashing down in his crib and poke him in the eye or something, but I love the way it turned out. WOO project complete.
