you won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

things I am tempted to do:

* find instructions for an embroidery sampler (a la ye olden days—for some reason I'm specifically picturing American Girl's Felicity) and get cracking
* frog everything I knitted for the wedding present for my uncles (who, uh, have been married a few years by now) and crochet similar things instead (this'll probably take six hours altogether)
* track down my drop spindle and make with the spinning
* get up go weave on the purple wool bag

things I am not tempted to do:
* work on the bridal shower present for my sister (who, uh, has been married a couple years by now)
* work on the wedding afghan for my sister and brother-in-law (who, uh, same sister)
* work on the dollhouse afghan commission
* work on the ebook conversion
* work on Stagecraft
* work on...literally any project already in progress, actually, bar the purple wool woven bag that the loom is way out in the living room and I'm already in bed

relevant facts:
* it's four forty-five in the goddamn morning
* nope, still not sleepy

*spends two hours crocheting part of a shawl that is supposed, excluding any row-currently-in-progress, to be rectangular throughout the process*

*puts it down for several hours*

*picks it back up and discovers it's trapezoidal*
