Get Stuff Done

It's hard to get stuff done. One of my projects is to make cushions for the new patio furniture. I could not bring myself to spend 80 bucks on the cushions (per cushion!!) they wanted to sell me. I'm not great at the sewing machine but how hard can it be to sew some fabric in a square shape. Silly me. I've been looking at patterns & fabric....the stuff is $25 a yard and up! After spending all this time at the local big box fabric store (after checking Wal Mart) I found an OK pattern ($7--KA CHING!!) & wrote the name & number of the fabric in my trusty palm pilot, which I cannot live without by the way. I googled & found what I want for 1/2 price & free shipping. OK now we're getting somewhere. I figure by the time I get the foam for the inside & all the incidentals, I'll probably be close to $80 but I'll have all the cushions I need and I'll have learned something (stay away from delusions of sewing??) Let's see, if I was practicing law (like my husband wants me to) I could probably make upwards of $1000 in the time it will take me to complete this project. But it's not about the money, I say!! Must have an outlet for my creative impulses! Maybe this will give me a story idea. Oh yeah, I should be working on my short stories. Here I go.
