Well that was an interesting 24 hours. I now know I can do it. Didn't mean that I didn't want to get online half a dozen times during the day but I managed to not give into the urge.
When I got up and got my morning cup of coffee, I was at a bit of a loss since I usually get my coffee, then sit down with my computer and take care of things that need taking care of. Instead I read through the paper and wrote in my paper journal. Then later in the day I needed to check something and instead of hopping onto the computer, I consulted our encyclopedia for the information. I also used the calendar on the wall and a piece of paper and a pencil to calculate some sums. Paper and pencil/pen were my friends yesterday. For my local weather, I looked outside.
So I am going to make the 16th of the month, no computer day with as little electronic use as possible for a year or so.
I found most of the fabric I need for the BIG PROJECT. I had to go to my fall back on one of the pieces. The fabric I am looking for really doesn't exist for me right now. Doesn't mean I can't remake parts of the outfit if I do find the right fabric. Now I have to cut and sew the BIG PROJECT.
I am grateful for finding a fabric that will work.
