Most prompt email gets the business

Christmas presents continued...
Finally I couldn't decide between Sea Quilt and Desert so I placed one order with 1 shop and the other with another shop. Even with holiday plus the usual Sun/Mon closure, year end inventory, new product arrival and posting plus walk in customers, shop #2 emailed promptly and enthusiastically. Shop #1...crickets chirping.
Shop #1 managed to answer my cancellation of the order promptly. Somehow that one along with the original order... -

Remember one of the Christmas presents I was going to give myself? The huge kitting of Chatelaine's Sea Quilt?
I have been waiting for an email, which I asked for in the comments section of the order. The At Home business may have been closed during Christmas, as some small businesses do. Nevertheless the unannounced, not in newsletter nor on website, situation has given me time to rethink my order.

Decisions, decisions. I can't tell you how many times I have built shopping carts then emptied them this morning.
I have narrowed it down to 2 particular choices: a shopping cart full of Pat Thode trunk show discounted canvases or a shopping cart full of some Martina Weber mandala kittings.
I love the canvases but will I ever actually work on them? I have other canvases at home and though I love the finished products I do not like to work on canvases very much. These... -
Old Habits

The old habit of making a list, whether it be monthly goals or a rotation list, then ignoring it fell right into place. Not entirely, but for the most part.
Maybe if I could just pick 1 project: work on that until finished, then pick up another...
If I could avoid new starts, new big starts, then my cloth budget will be a lot easier to keep.
On the other hand, that would just mean the HAEDs that I just got would just be a growing collection. If I could decide over 1...
