Leaving on a jet plane

Whatever is not done now will be left behind as I fly out to the US.
I am trying to get my hubby to call into a shop so I can get a green and gold wig, Aussie flag and perhaps a lycra body suit so I can support the Olympians in my own special way...on second thoughts, having a look at my body, forget the wig (HAHAHA)
Will talk to you next from St. Louis Missouri.

The P word

I was telling a friend, Lyn Kenny, the other day (www.kennykreations.com) just how much behind I was and she told me there were 2 "P" words to consider. Mine/ours--procrastination--and hers, panic!
I did not even need to adopt the word into my library, I already have it lurking and loitering with intent!
Do I sound as panicked as I feel?
I was happily poodling along, thinking I had finally some end in sight when I realized there was a whole day of work that I had not crossed off my 'to do' list...Capital PPPPPPP's started flashing before my eyes (or is that just fatigue?)
Back to work again

The Art of Procrastination

I am sure I am not the only one...putting off what I should be doing, wasting/spending time at anything else other than what I need to be doing.
Is that why they created blogs?
I think I am in avoidance territory, when it really looms large as just how much more I have to do before I leave.
I'm rationalizing that by convincing myself that I am trying to keep up my bloggerspondence so that I won't forget how to do this newly acquired skill.
Off to stitch via having my eyelashes tinted and my eyebrows pruned up a bit: they have the tendency to get a bit Groucho Marx, not a good sight for those on the side that looks at me.
My mantra today is "I must stop wasting time"
HAHAHAHA

Last minute productions

I know, I shouldn't complain, but I really do need another day in the week, another week in the month and fewer ideas to explore as I get down to the nitty-gritty for my upcoming US trip.

Let me know if having my "Where's Anne?" on my blog works or do I need it on the web page? Still trying to learn when my brain is already overfull and it is actually not about me, but about your convenience.

You know it's down to the wire when I have my hairdresser's appointment the day before I fly out even though I tried to get it on my day of departure: my hairdresser said he could not fit my luggage in the salon with me...oh, and he wouldn't open up at 7a.m. either! That's how I travel with textiles!!!!!!
I always say, however, that I do deserve the people I know

Back to the other work

Learning Curves

I thought I had enough of my own curves, but have had a few steep learning ones in the last few weeks!
Learning to create a blog is just another one of them--why didn't I do it before? (DAH--Probably because I couldn't until today!)
Took a day off to play with my extremely talented friend Trisha today: she is weaving scarves with her new knitting loom and introducing me to a tool I think I am already secretly lusting after. And we had a party to celebrate the horses birthday, August 1 (Australia--?? same date anywhere else) with balloons, party hat, cake and candle.
I truly deserve the people I know!
I realize too that I need a clone: someone who will do all the stuff that is seriously lacking as I start packing and finalizing my trip to the US. Or I need another 48 hours in the day and another 2 days in the week.
Anyway, busy +++ at the moment.
Will see if this comes up on my show off page.
BTW, I am tickled pink with purple spots at the way my new website is developing. (www.annevanderkley.com) Let me know what you think. And thanks to Kay and Paul for their patience and expertise as they design it.
Ooroo for now
