Getting Closer....

I know I've blogged about my procrastination before and, well, nothing's changed. I gave myself a 7 weeks to complete nearly 600 hair clips.

Well, I found other things to create instead and shop on-line. I love shopping on-line. I recently bought this: http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=14445010 .

Oops, a little off topic there - what do you expect, I'm writing and showing all of you fine people out there in Blogger land what I'm NOT doing! LOL!

I have made about 300 or so clips at this point. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a few more completed - wish me luck!

What are you putting off?

How Much Do We Really Test Run A New ______?

Three years ago, we bought a new table and chairs with matching buffet & hutch. We were gobsmacked at how beautiful it was in the showroom ! Not only that, we had just bought a new home that we were waiting to take possession.

We thought everything was perfect, after sitting at the table for a few moments. (I think a car gets a better test run than this did.)

We were so excited when our set arrived at our new home - it was going to be the finishing touch.!

Well, we grossly misjudged the size and it barely fits in our dining area. Not only that, our bum's sink into the chairs too much and it makes the table too high. It feels like I've shrunk each time I sit down to have a bite to eat.

The set was a smashing deal at $1,500-. I don't think we could have gotten a better deal - but was it worth it? It's pretty to look at, but I think that's about it.

What is your regret purchase?
