winter projects

crumbs, despite the fact that it's wetter than a wet thing out it is just around the corner:
spring: wound up- ready to pounce.
which means i better pull me finger out and finish my winter projects. i have a pile of sewing i'm slowly slowly making my way though (although i add to it everyotherday and therefore it might be winter 2010 that i'm aiming on), there's a chair in the 'garage' that used to be part of a duo of non-matching chairs. now it's all by itself, nude, waiting for upholstery. some shelves, a wee cupboard, actually 2 wee cupboards, a thing to hang the pots on... it's not that i'm lazy (really) it's just that every item needs one or two things to complete it... i can't help it if i have so many great ideas.
i was about to type "but i have finished something" until i realised i just have to sew on some velcro.
oh, but i already have plans for the summer. oh, those long balmy days. i've got jandals, new shoes and a super pair of sunnies just waiting for the right opportunity to be launched on the planet. i have schemes involving newly recycled and refurbished t-shirts, for the summer. a nice wee summer skirt, a sleeveless dress. oh bring it on.
i've been practising too, barefootedness. and oh how tender are my little feet after months of wrappingupwarm?!
see- i'm wishing it away already!!
patience.
patience.

patience.

c, while the perfect yogi, isn't terribly patient. for him there is only now, so he can't wait for 1 minute, let alone 5. but because there is only now, there isn't tomorrow or thedayafter or next week even. i wonder when we learn that? when we discover potential? or hope? both positive things to have in your handbag, mind, but something that takes the now and shoves it into the little coin purse.

i think i need more practice.
