But I agree, there's definitely a divide between creative and technical and I'm way better at dreaming about sewing than sewing itself. I do love problem solving (it's that INTJ!!) which probably gets me through the technical bits :)Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575104493258544397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36079172.post-14310780253798108782011-05-31T23:38:04.101-04:002011-05-31T23:38:04.101-04:00I think it is interesting how everyone fall asleep...I think it is interesting how everyone fall asleep differently.

I find myself avoiding anything too technical and dry as my concentration span is so short these days. Your wardrobe looks so neat.

Best part: the project could be finished quickly with no nasty surprises.<br /><br />And now I do it with sewing too. And you are so right, we do tend to blur over those tricky technical bits that actually need a lot of processing--often as we lay in bed drifting into sleep..Sigridhttp://analogme.typepad.com/analog-me/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36079172.post-48832126539110534432011-05-25T05:32:47.572-04:002011-05-25T05:32:47.572-04:00Is that your wardrobe?

Also simultaneously creative yet tedious and detailed projects. I love that projects with practical outcomes can still be intensely and satisfyingly creative! <br /><br />-karenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36079172.post-583408899841532492011-05-25T00:04:51.624-04:002011-05-25T00:04:51.624-04:00I really don't th8ink that would work for me b...I really don't th8ink that would work for me but you might be right about taking the fun out first. I still find working out the kinks of a project or the how do I overcome that or turn that corner, etc to be stimulating and instead of falling asleep I can stay up for our. I need to read myself to sleep until I am too tired to think logically. Love the idea of a "natural" Caklifornia though. Cherrie<br />PS word verification is 'frumpe'. Hope that wasn't aimed at either of us. lolwillywagtailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161501326916060091noreply@blogger.com
