Finishing . . .

Why is it so hard for some of us to finish what we've started? For example, me and this blog. Its been weeks since I've posted; and I really wanted to write at least one a week if not more. How about projects around the house? Or crafts? Right now, I have a crocheted blanket for my daughter, in her room. almost done. I have about three more rows of ruffles, but yet can't seem to finish it. I have lots more like that too; even bigger projects like buying the paint for the family room, and it is still sitting in there, in the cans, NOT on the walls. I always have the best intentions; but somehow, things get in the way. Well, my excuse for not blogging is a brand new puppy. We got him two weeks ago at the young age of 8 weeks. Wow is it a lot of work, exhausting in fact, but well worth it! Its almost like having a baby; well, I said almost! We are spending lots of time with him, taking him in the car with us, (he's great in the car, very comfortable, thanks to the purchase of the LL Bean dog car blanket!). He's already such a part of the family - but I promise to steal away and BLOG!!!

Anyway, to end on a positive note - I did finish crocheting a small baby blanket this summer for our nephew's newborn son. I really forced myself to finish, picking it up whenever I had some spare time. Mind you - I am a new crocheter, so it does not come easy to me. Thankfully, we have a local knit shop where the ladies are always ready and willing to help if you get stuck. It felt really good to finally finish a project. Could this be the start of something?? I'll keep you posted. Got to go, I think there's a crocheted blanket waiting for me in my daughter's room . . .
