Y'know it usually feels like i am talking to myself, just trying to balance the day. A few years ago it seemed easier. The Fly Lady thing is great for household type stuff and lateral application: short time spans, a repeating routine, starting where you are. (but I just dropped the emails, too much verbal clutter in a too busy day .) The application of this sort of system to a creative life? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. What organizational system fits or adapts to the wide variety of tasks we encounter? hmmm... a museletter topic? profound? me? oh my.

I should have mentioned her as years ago I started following Fly Lady at http://www.flylady.com and her system is the basis for how I get anything done now. I have systems and rituals that get me through the mundane chores, thanks to her. I know I can accomplish any project if I do it in 15 minutes chunks and I make myself *see* how much I have accomplished and not just dwell on how much is left to do. I confess I haven't followed her in ages because she is a wee bit soppy (purple puddles? I ask you) but now that you reminded me of her, I'll go back and explore her site for a refresher course! Thanks :o) You are soooo right, Glenda! I should have mentioned her as years ago I started following Fly Lady at http://www.flylady.com and her system is the basis for how I get anything done now.

I've been following Flylady.com-a woman who ties flies for fishing who also has a huge following for her "getting things done" website. She focuses mostly the household but I just adapt it to work. Some of my favorite sayings of hers are: "You are not behind" and "You can do anything for 15 minutes". She takes the guilt away and offers supportive, motherly recommendations. Helped me more than anyone else. And, thanks for the Micetsy note! Glenda Deb,

I know just the person that needs this (these) and it's not ME for once. Shes a good friend of mine that just happens to be a breast cancer survivor and wears pink every day. This (these) would be perfect for her. OMG Deb, that pink button just took my breath away…So, is it (or a set) for sale? I know just the person that needs this (these) and it’s not ME for once.

Her downy undercoat looks spin-able if I can just get enough collected! Yes Linda, she adds to my “Fiber” stash, in more ways than one I’m hoping.

She has such an awesome face, so sweet yet a little inquisitive. Almost like she thinks there is a puzzle to solve. I have been sort of looking for a dog but really want to wait until I retire so I can be with it full time. I finally gave Jennie her b-day buttons. She loves them, now to find the right thing to put them on. She and her 17 year old son got back from India a couple of weeks ago and she emailed today that the fabric she bought and shipped from there has arrived. I'm hoping she might be able to combine the two, otherwise it will probably be somethng knit. Pics to follow once they are used. Hey Deb –

Does she also help add to the fiber content of your spinning? My cats seem to think that nothing is finished until a sprinkling of fur has been added. Deb, she’s a beauty.
