March Memeness: all I wanna do (is quilt)

Is there a pattern you want to do but haven't done yet, and why? asks beatrice_otter



Just a few. :D

These are the patterns I've bought and which I haven't yet made! (Wait, no, I lie. The Technicolor Galaxy I have made and it's in my icon.)

Mostly what holds me back? Time and that thing where you're too intimidated by a project to start it. Not to mention all the other projects that I still have half-done and feel like I should finish (but don't always get around to doing).

There's always patterns on Pinterest that I see and like. There are clever designs that catch my eye and things that I want to create and simply don't have the time to do.

Also, the part of my brain that claims that doing any of this is a Significant Time Investment (when mostly, it's just a steady 15 minutes a day, or even an hour. I can actually manage that, it's just that I tend to procrastinate until I'm out of time).

I had to make a decision about going to watch the Matildas at the Olympics and I decided against. I could afford it by the skin of my teeth, but also with the stuff going on with my health (fibroids) and our general financial situation in the house (better than most but still unnerving), I couldn't afford it.

Unless I win the lottery tonight to the tune of the amount I'd have to pay for the trip? No.

So I guess I'll be watching it from home. Or possibly in a sports bar somewhere in Sydney.

Maybe I could go to Melbourne to watch the Arsenal & Tottenham games coming to Australia instead? 25th May, I think. I'd have to find somewhere to stay - I wonder if I could go visit my friends in Ballarat for a change?

Bridgerton S3 has released a clip with a sweet Kate/Anthony moment. Wheeee!

I kind of wish I had Bridgerton fannish folk here on DW, but I think they're more on Xitter and Tumblr. I don't really know where to find these people anymore, let alone have an actual squeeful conversation with them. Xitter is not great for conversations leading to friendship.

Iron tablets are helping, but my throat is still feeling weirdly raw. I guess I should go see a doctor. Ughh.

Okay, back from PT. Need to sort out lunch. And in the time I've been futzing around on the intarwebs, I could have roasted a beef fillet. DOH.
