I'm not good about doing what I'm told; even when I'm the one telling me. All I have to do is write a list and I am out of here, busily doing everything but what I've just written down. I sabotage myself; there's no two ways around it. I hate being told what to do, even when it's something I want to do.
I've reached this conclusion after something totally inexplicable happened. Along with a group of friends, I agreed to commit to doing something jewelry related every day this month. We agreed to share our progress, and let each other know how we were doing. You guessed it: I became a member of the jewelry fantasy league.
I did get a few things done, but not much. I found myself setting goals, and avoiding them. The beads did not call to me; instead, they hollered, "Get outta here! We want to be left alone."
And so I did. I've been out in the garden, I've been harvesting, cooking, and freezing veggies and appetizers. I have not been beading. And so, I decided to give up my commitment. And guess what happened?
Yup. I'm interested in beading again.

It's always the way isn't it. I find I become highly motivated to bead when I don't have the time to spare and then days like today, a gorgeous Sunday afternoon when I have hours to bead I find myself sitting at the computer or procrastinating!
Can't wait to see what you are working on.

You Rebel You! Its the same with me if you give me a deadline I'll almost always lack the motivation to get it done.
Glad your beading again!
I think creative types are like that. I have the same problem. When I don't need to work on something, I'm all ready to go, but if I have to finish something, I'm not interested!
Your garden is great. We have a very small one, but it's so much fun to eat from the garden!
