Friday & Guilt
This has been a long week. The highlight was receiving both our state and federal tax returns. Ironically we used a portion of our federal tax to pay our property taxes. It's sad really... down right depressing. Oh well.
After visiting a friends blog yesterday it made me start thinking. She posted about simplicity and how we don't really need everything that we see. I totally agree with her. I am also guilty of going absolutely overboard when it comes to my craft obsessions. I tend to find a new craft and go wild. I don't feel like I have much control and it's rather scary for all involved. Well, it's not so scary for places like Threadbear but you get the drift.
Is this a problem for other crafters or is it just me? I just want to learn it all, try it all, and do it all... NOW! I am so not patient when it comes to tackling anything new. The problem has come in the past when I have lost my interest. So far knitting has stuck. I'd like to think I was just looking for the right craft. So, for now, I must knit on!

I think I'm likely related too then. I learned to knit a year ago. Now I'm running a knitting club with 150 kids in it, and BOUGHT that spinning wheel, without having tried a drop spindle first.
My budget program cries every time I categorize something as a "craft" expense. We set our spending limit at "not if we can't eat too". A little high?
*grin* Hang in there. The obsession has to wear off eventually.
I hope
i too, tend to be over obsessive about crafty things. i am trying very hard at the moment to destash and finish up some wips that seem to be taking way too long to finish. what did you think about the 'without a trace' episode?
