Mitty, I thought your post was helpful, certainly not rude, and I have to tell you, I really chuckled at your story of the Christmas tree skirt. I bought one simply beautiful Xmas tree kit project years (and years) ago. The reindeer on it was just beautiful, so I bought all the fabric paints, brushes, everything for the project. Well, the paints have since dried up, the kit is somewhere in my UFO cabinet (note I said "cabinet", lol). I never even started making it, so you are head of me; at least yours is 2/3rds done, but for me, "someday...." is the operative word.. My only plus is that I know at first glance what colors of paints I need to buy - again, ha! And your last comment, "Too bad I don't get a Christmas tree any more" really set me to giggling, because I don't either, but, maybe I can hang it over a table or something, "someday". Thanks for the day brightener. And lastly, I am a procrastinator too, sometimes I think I enjoy the "gathering" more than the "doing".
