Sew, where have I been

Hi! I haven't been anywhere spectacular but I am back. O.k., actually the holidays were GREAT! "Sew", I did have a spectacular time. Earlier today, I was trying to get a handle on my various fabric choices. Some things I could look at and determine the intention whereas others, I wasn't so sure. Recently, I have been trying to get organized once and for all. I say "once and for all" because I aim to get organized and then maintain the organization. Don't laugh, I am serious. I also have come to realize that a design choice in my sewing room may be impeding some of that progress. I have to admit though I have A LOT of stuff. Have I sewn anything lately? No. I have cut some things out of the fabric but that's about as far as I got. My sewing machine is set up in the guest room so if I decide to work on a sewing project and someone comes to visit (and they do because Mr. Murphy of "Murphy's Law" fame says so), I have to remove everything from the bed, tidy up the room and, then I lazily put off re-visiting the project until right before someone else visits. (see the cycle?) I have great intentions but "seam" to fall short of my goals. I have come to realize that throughout my life I have been the "Great Preparer" but not so much the "Great Finisher". I yearn to change this while getting organized. I have also come to realize that some things don't get accomplished because I am disorganized. However, there is a very organized person (who knows where everything is) yearning to get out. I also want to get on schedule with certain things because it would dang sure make my life a bit easier. I need to prioritize better and stop procrastinating about things that have to be done and just do them as soon as possible. O.k., so it's an crazy hour of the day when I definitely should be sleeping so Guten Nacht. Zzzz...
