The road, the paving and the intentions....

You haven't seen many declarations of intent on this 'ere blog since I started 'assisting' Mr D in the Workshop.  There's a good reason for that.  The best intention these days is to sit at my desk and be creative at some stage every week.  I'm not missing out on being creative; I am still a little bit in love with crochet, so the evenings aren't wasted.

A 'sneak' section of one of next Thurdsay's workshop grunge cards. Looks a bit blood and bandages doesn't it, it's meant to look slightly more brown.....hmmm.

Since I started  Pinterest, my life has become one long intention.   I don't consider Pinterest an addiction, some weeks I never look at it.  But oh my goodness, who had the idea of setting me up with a bunch of boards to save ideas for future projects?  My life - just make me a chain mail jacket cast from the guilt mould, would you? Especially when others start re-pinning my selections...does anyone else feel that they should actually be getting on with some of them to make your visitors feel the re-pin was a vote of confidence?  Weird isn't it, how on the one hand, I can feel no obligation to my craft, and on the other, feel absolutely terrible when I neglect it all.  It's the puritan English in me, I think.  Guilt for having stuff to use, guilt for having so much yet to do and plans for yet more things...yep, deliberately avoiding the word 'intention' again...
So here's a plan - the busier I am, the more I seem to do...a common revelation, I know.  So I've decided that this MUST include time at the desk.  I can't do it in the late evenings - too tired, not enough decent light.  I'm not 'scheduling' desk time because that always ends up being pushed back.  Rather, I'm going to try really hard to be the gal that has a couple things on the go that can be added to and thought over whilst pottering about doing all sorts.  I'm giving myself the next five days, because there's a suitable deadline for turning in samples for a workshop.   Seriously, do you think it'll work?  I will report in.  That's the very best intention I've declared so far, because frankly, it's a racing certainty that you'll have to read about it!
