what excuses can you give for procrastinating???? as an artist, it seems, many of us are pretty good at not at completing projects on time... maybe it's because an artist has to be in the mood to create... while i work hard at being on time for swaps (yes, i have been late a couple times), creating art projects in general, can be delayed...
but there are some good excuses... and here are just a few...
1. there is a centipede on the wall... the centipede disappears, then is finally killed by a very tired husband... from the time the centipede was discovered until the time it took to kill the thing, all creative juices were sweated out from fear...
2. there is a big gap in the window frame... this means bugs can come in if i open the window... therefore, the studio is EXTRA hot since its summertime.... an artist cannot work in extreme heat without feeling a bit woozy and light headed... hand me a gatorade, please!
3. isabella is just too darn cute and so i start taking photos of her... by the time i am done, it's time to get ready for dinner...
4. my kitchen floor is sticky... diego has bits of cereal on the floor... the 3 dishes in the sink are glaring at me... suddenly, the whole house MUST be cleaned at THAT second... energy is spent on cleaning and cleaning and cleaning.... 20 minutes later, diego is eating cereal again and i feel crud on the floor... shall i grab the broom and mop again???
5. i don't have the perfect piece of paper for the project i am working on
so if you haven't guessed, i have a huge fear of bugs and a slight compulsion to clean... there is always a bug around and something is always getting dirty... earlier today, i went to grab some curtains from the hallway closet and there is a wasp just casually flying around... later, i go to grab the broom near the attic door, and i see the wasp staring at me through the hallway window door... by the time ramel stopped by for lunch, he couldn't find it... it's nearly 7pm and i havent checked the mail yet... i feel like a person who has a fear of leaving their home! oh wait!!! i AM afraid to leave my home over a wasp! yes, such silliness, eh?!
so let me end this post on a wonderful note... here are some links of paper lovers and their shop or photos:
