Here are the things I should have been doing lately:
- painting the basement family room
- working on MQP
- practicing piano for a last-minute accompanist job
- working on a wedding gift
- working on Christmas gifts
Instead, I’ve been working on the front of Janda…and I paid for my sneaky knitting by having to rip out 20 (!) rows of the raglan shaping today.
Tonight, I promise to make huge amounts of quilting progress in between priming and painting the wall of the basement room that we’re going to install built-in cabinets on. The rest of the walls will just have to wait until I can move enough boxes to get to them. How on earth do they manage to do an entire room in two days on Trading Spaces? It takes me two days to strip wallpaper and patch a single wall to my satisfaction…although maybe I’m being a bit of a perfectionist – after all, aside from the top, oh, 10 inches or so, the wall is going to be covered with cabinets and bookcases…
Don’t forget that Trading Spaces has three people you see, two people you don’t see, and the host (from time to time) all working on one room and they work non-stop for two days.
Sorry about the knitting!
