Always in a conundrum....  do I draw, design, digitize, embroider, clean the house or go outside for some fresh air and my much loved photography past-time?

But inevitably, my computer calls to me to sit and draw, design and digitize my embroidery designs.  Truly at some point I have to leave my computer to do one of the above, particularly if I want to test my embroidery designs on my sewing machine before selling them on my Etsy storefront. But the eerie welcoming lights of my computer say "just one more minute".

Sometimes, I draw my embroidery designs so much into the night or early morning that as I am exhausted, I then forget how many designs I did and will find them at a much later date.  I'm happy but could kick myself for not having tested these and putting them out for the world to see and buy ;-)

And then of course there are my many photos that have to be cropped, straightened, spruced up a bit or become of my many photoshop projects that require again so much more time, but it is what makes me happy (well, ONE of the things anyway).

In the meantime, my pencils and art brushes whisper and dance in my head with all their pretty colors and designs waiting to be brought to art paper and canvas.

Which do I love more?  Always in a conundrum....

Who will do my housework, laundry, floors and dishes?  Maybe I should, or just maybe steal a few more "just one more minute"s of time to feed the creative passions in my life....  but which one?  Always in a conundrum..
