Optimism? Or Insanity?

I swear on all that I hold holy that I really did start the Christmas project production in a timely fashion. Heck, I worked on something in September! And then October just sort of whizzed right on by (I did travel all but one of the weekends, which probably added to the general whizziness). November was a blur. And now, it is December.... And I still have a ton to do!

And, although part of my brain is insisting that I still have enough time, another part of my brain is registering the fact that Christmas is coming... And the goose appears to be anorexic...

I've already ear-marked one project as something that can be done while I'm staying at my parents' house for a few days before Christmas. Really. I can do a pair of socks in three days. That's a non-issue. And I've earmarked another project for wrapping on the needles, just in case. So, really, I only have 3 pairs of socks and a cardigan to knit. In 12 days. Oh, yeah, no problem! And there's these woodworking projects as well. Yeah. No stress here!!

There are some bright spots - the most complicated woodworking project is currently a pile of appropriately cut parts. The less complicated one is, well, really easy. The 3 pairs of socks are in progress - heels done on one pair, heels started on another, and the third... well, it's started. Let's leave it at that! Oh, and the cardi is started, and it took very little to get an inch done (2 or 4 rows). So, that should zoom. Yip.

I think if I wake up at 6am on Saturday and Sunday, and I work my arse off and collapse at 11pm each day, I should be okay...

I can do this.

And if you happen to have stumble across this blog and are the praying kind, you might want to say a little pray for my sanity....
