discodorisAfter a very long dearth of posting in this journal, I've finally decided to take a leaf out of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
raeyn's book and maybe start to post about crafting, as she does over at digitalglitch. I've rediscovered knitting and have joined ravelry but I also do various other handicrafts. I've started reupholstering a very elderly sprung rocking chair for example and this morning have some fairly sore hands after stapling a large foam sheet to upholster the front of the back, if that makes any sense.
I ordered the foam from an upholstery supplies shop on Amazon and seem to have massively overordered. I thought I'd only asked for a foam sheet that was 1200mm by 800mm, but what turned up is a massive sheet - maybe two metres square (so four square metres). However, I think what I might do is make some more foam cushions to go in the summerhouse outside, so that it doesn't go to waste!
The other reason for posting here is that it might also give me a little impetus towards finishing off projects, because I can be quite bad about starting and then leaving them for long periods of time. It's easy to suggest that this is because I'm often time challenged - a full time job, enough exercise to countermand the sedentary job hours, plus keeping house often means that I'm not terribly inclined to do much more. But whatever, I'll see how it works.

Date: 2015-01-24 11:28 pm (UTC)That's why I've tended to try to stick to one project per discipline at a time. But knitting lends itself to doing small projects while working on big ones, so I've started distracting myself. *chuckles* I also have 2 or 3 unfinished crochet blankets floating around that I need to take stock on.
