Forest? Trees?
Getting ready for a craft show on short notice and a strict time budget is challenging. It’s not something that I deal with gracefully, but I manage to deal with it well enough. Usually I’m not in a time crunch but bless my mom’s heart– she said “Why don’t we skip the craft fair this year?”
And I said “Are you sure?”
And she said “I’m just not into it this year.”
And then a month later she calls and informs me that she’s already made arrangements for us to be there and forgot and we’ll be going.
The above pretty much summarizes my childhood experience from age 7 to age 18.
This is not me having woken up bright and early to write and sew. This is me getting ready to go off to bed, knowing that I won’t be able to sleep for more than a couple of hours before waking up and making the kids’ breakfast.
I can’t be grumpy though– look at those fabrics. Could anyone possibly be grumpy handling snowmen and Christmas candy? Okay, some people– but not me.
