A quick blog about procrastination as I procrastinate the start of a drawing that is in my head . I have started this bad habit of getting a very late start to my day in my studio. This would be alright if I worked very late into the evening but I don't, so you see my problem. I have this thing about waking up doing the whole smell the coffee, read, meditate thing WHICH is a great way to start the day except...that I then torture myself on the decision whether to work out or not. That torture often takes up the amount of time it would take to actually work out. Then I have to shower because I can't be creative with dirty hair and now I seem to think I can't be crative without a shower, make-up and curled hair. After that I troll around the Internet or Amazon looking for new books to buy. I read every news headline-oh not just the headlines-the entire AP story. And now the early morning has passed and I have not actually picked up a pencil.

I have a new pattern section on my website here are a couple foodie patterns that I dig even though I don't eat lobster and I certainly don't eat fish with their heads on, I had fun creating these patterns. My son was home from school yesterday and was in my office watching cartoons, I would say mindless cartoons but some them are really cute.... Anyway I had an idea floating in my brain for a new pattern design and then I caught something out of the corner of my eye from a cratoon show that would complete the design so I need to get it from my head to paper. This is the hardest part for me, getting it from what I see in my head to match what I put of paper so I procrastinate...oh! I think my curling iron is hot, I must curl my hair.
