Okay, all you crafters and fellow crocheters will appreciate this post,lol.
I wake up in the morning (many at that) and feel a bit sluggish. I know I should relax due to my health so I state in earshot of anyone in the house "I think today I will curl up and crochet". I then proceed to the kitchen and realize it needs to be straightened up. So I clean. Then I state "next I will crochet". Then the phone rings and I catch up with my sister. And then I notice laundry needs to be done. And then I realize the carpet needs vacuuming. And then, and then, and then..................
What is it about a work in progress that gets us to procrastinate and put it so low on the priority pole that it never even gets looked at for the day? You see I have set myself a goal. I am going to submit one of my works. I have put it off for long because I am very hard on myself. I have finally decided to just toss my hands up and do it. However the doing part is coming along slowly, lol. I am pretty sure what it boils down to is I love to do my craft work and crochet. I love it so much, that even if I am completing projects for sale I feel I am having too much fun. Therefore I get up and start doing house work, or tasks that everyone hates but someone has to do. I guess it is sort of a form of self punishment for spending time doing something that I love.
So does anyone else out there understand the guilt attachment, or am I nuts??
(No comments from the peanut gallery on the nuts part thank you!!!!!)

Dear Mad Chrocheter;
Boy I was laughin when I read this! Sounds like my day. I get up @ 3:30am (I work a 10hr. day), stummble to the coffee pot or make my green tea, get dressed, brush teeth, comb hair etc.. and out the door to be to work by 5am.I literaly crawl or limp to my car by 3:30pm, get home throw down purse, unwind a bit. Go to fix dinner and oh yeah who made the mess in this sink? I don't remember the stove being dirty this morning?? Unload the dishwasher, clean the microwave from melted cheese, tie up the trach, and what was it? Oh yeah dinner lol. Eat, get a shower or hot bath for my legs,take medication, get ready for bed, watch a tv show or read my craft magazines. Oops! It's 10pm already time to get to bed and start all over tomorrow. Get into bed and as falling to sleep, remember I was going to work on that afghan or finsih that doily. Oh well there's tomorrow God willing lol. See your not nuts! Enjoy Mad Chrocheter when you can.
Sincerly,
Just Another Crafter
