Typically, my "20 minute job" has taken FAR longer than I budgeted. I think it would have been quicker to knit the flaming thing from scratch!
The encouragement and enthusiasm from the smallest (& the fact that I posted about the beginnings) have kept me on track.
PS: Haven't painted the bookshelf...but I did muck around with a couple of lights, do some stitching, practice with the sticks & spent plenty of time on the distraction too. Oh, and I went to the Camby market - it was very busy this week!
