Perfection is my enemy.

I must apologize for my bloggy silence of late, you see, i have a unique combination of personality traits... I am a perfectionist on a macro level, but I also tend to procrastinate. This means that my house might look like a whirlwind just swept through, but that cute little project I just worked on all day is perfect.

**NOT THAT THIS IS CURRENTLY IN FULL-SWING AT MY HOUSE OR ANYTHING..**

I am getting ready for, and so excited about hosting my sister's baby shower on Saturday, but my macro-crafty-perfectionist self needs to widen my vision a bit and complete some not so exciting tasks. I have been making so many pretty things, that I am excited to share with you after the shower. Now, however, I will subject you to my to-do list. 
  1. Scotch-guard the dining-room chairs I recovered two weeks ago (and have nail-bitingly guarded from all spills). 
  2. Empty the bugs from the light fixtures. EWWW. We seem to have a plague of creepy mini-cicadas around here.
  3. Clean the floors and most everything else. Blarg.
You are welcome. Thanks for caring. 

Now here's a cute little wreath I whipped out last night. I just wrapped a grapevine wreath with a thick jute, hung a pennant made from vintage dictionary pages, and glued on part of the shower invite. Viola.

  2. Love that wreath! And I probably could've written this, perfectionism and procrastination both mix to make the perfect storm of unproductivity for me!
