Ever have 1000 things running through your head & you don't which way to go? That's me this time of year. There are all these things I WANT to get done. But there are not enough child free hours in a day to get them all done. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE my monkeys. But sometimes them wanting to "help" is a little more than I can take and slows me down a ton.

My projects this time of year are broken down into groups. Things I need to do as "child free" as possible. (This would include putting clips on bows or finishing them, Korkers & anything that requires detail or alot of thinking. LOL!)

Things I can do @ work. The nice thing about owning you're own business is you can kinda set your own rules. Hubby has been saying for years I should just take it with me to work. This year I listened and it's slow going - but I'm managing. So while there isn't alot I can take with me, I can do basic bows or some of my finishing work there. Whatever I take I just have to be able to do quick and set down in a moments notice.

Then there is the things I can do with multiple monkeys hanging out & being loud. This is where most of things fall. I try to do all the cutting of things while they are engrossed in TV or playing so that the basic sewing can be done even if one or more are underfoot. 

So this is why I always have 500 fires burning at one time. ;) (and another 500 smoldering.....)
