Have you ever been so close to the end of a project that you can literally imagine it in a frame and hanging on your wall, but you just can't seem to finish it? That's the point where I am right now with Tradewinds. You wouldn't believe how close I am to a finish and yet I just... can't... get on with it. It's the first time in a while that I truly feel like I've lost steam on this project. I'd share a photo, but I'm singularly unmotivated today and don't feel like fooling around with the technology.
In the meantime, I got a BIG shipment of candle supplies today. Up to this point, I've only played at making candles. I've been getting a lot of requests for them, though, and have decided to try my hand at making some for sale. So, there is a giant box of soy wax sitting in my den, along with new fragrances, piles of wicks and oodles of containers for the candles.
Little Miss Sadie Mae had a "doggie spa day" this morning. She badly needed a bath, and I didn't really want to do it myself. I did that once, and it was a lot of trouble. My tub is set up for people, not animals, which means lots of bending and stooping, plus a ton of clean-up afterward to make the room fit for human use again. So off we went to the groomer this morning for a bath and assorted aromatherapy treatments. She loves to be fussed over, so I'm sure she was delighed with all of the pampering. I heard that she especially enjoyed the blueberry facial. LOL
I promise some pictures with my next post. I've got several FUFOs that I'm working on, plus a few other things to share. Stay tuned!

LOL The last time I gave my dog a bath (2 years ago) we clogged up the drain with Border Collie fur. There is a new doggie wash in town I've been meaning to try...
We will all cheer you on to get motivated with Trade Winds. Come on, you can do it!!
Oh yes, I can relate to your feelings about Trade Winds. It took me 20 (yes twenty) years to finish my American Indian Chief. I got sick of my husband nagging me to finish it, so I deliberately put it at the back of my craft cupboard and ignored it for most of that time! I'm glad I finally did finish it though - probably the best thing I've done, and it gets lots of comments from visitors who don't know anything about stitching.
