The rut you are in sounds a lot more like the one of expectation to complete rather than time to relax while working. <br /><br />give yourself permission to do it at your leisure and when the mood hits and remind yourself it's supposed to be for your enjoyment, not for counting your projects. (I say this loosely, of course, not saying you are actually doing that but, well, you are a Virgo. It was in there somewhere. This Capricorn knows. -wink-)Sarcastic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260818745110503205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-52431331363447869422012-02-08T12:33:22.440+10:302012-02-08T12:33:22.440+10:30I bet how the patties "look" doesn't...I bet how the patties "look" doesn't keep them from getting gobbled up, at least they would be at my house.

Although, I feel that when something crumbles up like that, you can eat all those crumbs because they aren't the real deal - I'm pretty sure they don't have the same caloric count or anything. I can't believe your holidays are over already. I was taking comfort in the fact that at least one of us was having fun...
