Distraction

Having to be creative on an impeding deadline is one of the hardest things I've ever done. When I hit a wall with regards to design, I distract myself with the personal project. This number is Lara, a Debbie Bliss design that everyone has made. Mine is Dzined wool/hemp blend that was custom dyed. I more or less started around the Fine Art of Fiber, and indulged in the pleasure knitting during the show. I'm putting it aside for now! Besides the book samples, I have a Guild exchange project, which is a felted bag that needs to be finished December 20 for the exchange. I'm not doing it next year! What was I thinking? I'm pretty certain that my mom's Christmas sweater will not be done by then. But serious progress has been made off and on this year. In dog news, sweaters are selling out of Wigglyville! We're getting closer to a workshop schedule. The custom sweater for the Italian Greyhound turned out to be an amazing fit. The body shaping modification worked out great, I must say. I think the customer was happy. I still wish that they had been more adventurous with color. Maybe next time, I can steer them down the color road. The other night, when I came home, the Man let Piccolo out the front door. She flung herself down the stairs so hard to get to me, that she actually fell down the stairs.
