Satisfaction is Completing a Task

trimmed half-square triangles
March 2020
It's satisfying to tackle and complete a dreaded task. I've been meaning to trim/square these HSTs for nearly three months, but I kept putting it off. On Sunday afternoon, I finally took the time.

The HSTs range in size from 2.5 - 5 inches. I don't have a plan for how to use these HSTs: something will present itself, and when it does, they are prepped and ready to sew.


I also managed to tidy my sewing room. I feels good to complete tasks I've neglected too long.

Is social distancing helping you complete some neglected tasks?

  1. I keep telling myself that I should be doing more but just keeping up with the regular chores when we are all in here messing about all day is wearing me out.

  2. Definitely --- I waxed my car yesterday. I recaulked the tub the other day.

    My cabinets and stuff were already tidy. But, I think today I'll go completely WILD and wash the kitchen floor ---- BY HAND.

  4. My sewing room has needed cleaning for ages - and now my office is just as bad. I was putting together contract books lately, and so now I have stacks of extra binders and things needing to be filed away.

  5. So nice to have them all ready to use! I am actually (especially today) quite busy with work, so I haven't gotten a lot of chores done. I tend to knit when I can and, I'm keeping with my workout schedule. Walking when it's nice, etc. The usual stuff is getting done (bathrooms cleaned, laundry kept up, etc.).

  6. Ha! I have a pile of HSTs that need trimming too. But I'm procrastinating.

  7. And now you're halfway to more beautiful finishes! I love HSTs...they are so versatile. As for neglected tasks - my windows. Sigh. We have wonderful 5' and 6' windows all over this house and we never close the curtains, but it's time to spend a couple of hours washing them.

  8. It's great that you have so many ready to go.
    I have so many projects I would ike to do but my back isn't cooperating very well so I seem to spend a lot of time just sitting.
    Blessings,

  10. Yea for finishing off a neglected project. I started out trying to finish UFO's and doing things to help move projects along. And then the mask issues came up. I was completely swayed to the side that we all should be wearing masks so my kids and grands are getting masks. Then I’m making some for a medical transport company that are running out or are already out of masks. So I’ll be busy for a while on these plans. However I think I might take the weekend off and sew on my own stuff.
