I completely despise the attitude that warrants the everything-will-be-better-when mentality. I feel like it's such a waste for enjoying the little things in the now. You know? I've fallen victim to this mentality this month. I keep saying things like: Next month will be SO much better, next month I'll be craftier, next month I'll take a nap, or two (Gasp!). I'm so annoyed with myself right now. Things are nothing short of crazy around here. Penelope is napping less & less (what am I going to do without 4 continuous hours of naptime?!?!), I'm working on several projects in preparation for BlogHer and I'm working on this blog. I'm tired and I feel like my creative juices are evaporating in this heat. I found this gorgeous teal felt ric rac at the craft store a while back. I'm in love with it, but too intimidated to do anything with it. Isn't it lovely? What would you do with something like this? Sew it onto a pillow? Use it to decorate a wrapped gift?
