Real fun is not having nothing to do. Real fun is having lots to do and not doing it!
If that is true then I must be really having fun.
Tomorrow morning Betty and I leave for New Mexico. it is now 2 minutes before ELEVEN o'clock and I am sitting here blogging. No hair washed, no clothes packed, and lots of dirty dishes in the sink. But I have been doing important things today. I did go get a book for the trip and I did get my art quilt for the SAQA Silver show started. I had been putting it off and then putting it off again. I want so bad for it to be good that I'm afraid to start.
Here is a quote that really fits the situation.
" PERFECTION IS SPELLED PARALYSIS."
I can't show you the quilt as the rules say it can't be shown before the show, not even on the net, but I can give you an example which will show you that I am the
PROCRASTINATION QUEEN.
This painting leaning up against the wall, was done for me, by request, by a very dear friend of mine, JOAN RAMSEY.
I had seen a smaller version of it on a wall in a room in a magazine and fell in love with it. This was many years ago. The lake home that I had a place for it was sold and I didn't have a spot in the new house, so it hung an a wall no where near a door.
Two moves later I have a spot, but not a door, certainly not a perfect door. Not even close.
So again it leans against a wall.
But I love that painting and some
day, when I figure out what I want to do, I will have the perfect door. In the meantime I will enjoy the painting and the anticipation of the fun I am having...
NOT DOING IT.
