My weekend project
I've been working on a little project for a while now, and as it involves quite a bit of mental concentration, I really need to be in the mood for it to work - at least, without much ranting, raving, and gnashing of teeth. In spite of really enjoying maths at school, I've come to realise that I have the kind of brain that trashes any sort of technical knowledge (quadratic equations and calculus anyone?) if not used frequently enough. Ask me for any sort of trivial fact, and it's no problem at all. Phone numbers of my primary school friends - easy. In fact, almost any phone number at all seems to be indelibly etched into my brain for some strange reason - but that's another story. Anyway, as my project involves much measuring and planning to look just perfect, I think I'll take my time, which, for me, is no mean feat. Patience is so not my strong point. So for now, you know what's coming - the dreaded teaser:
I know we must be related.... I remember odd ball birthdays, old phone numbers, (even people that I haven't called in 10 years!) addresses - but ask me to add anything and my brain goes into total dyslexic mode.
ReplyDeleteYou have me intrigued :) I have my little fundraiser morning tea for Breast Cancer tomorrow morning so I am hoping it will be a nice sunny day here in Perth. Enjoy your weekend Kerri x
ReplyDeleteReally bits & pieces weekend planned, with sport, parties, trip to the Snowy Mountains with only 1 child, ahhhh, car craft & dreaming of our Queenslander. All good family fun!!
ReplyDeleteI love maths, did pure maths at Uni, patchwork & small business keeps me mathematical, i love it. Now my children are doing higher levels of maths, i've found my calling. Good luck, sending good equation vibes. Love Posie
This is such a beautiful blog! I love photo walls like you've shown here. I wanted one in the Fibro, but maths is definitely not my strong point. Fortunately for me, I live with a builder of Dutch extract (anyone say perfectionist?). I handed the whole project over to him and voila!
ReplyDeleteDreaded teaser!! Painting flooring with intricate patterns like above? Measuring hurts my head and I am not good at it! I can't wait to see what you are up to!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm what are you up too??? Can't wait to see...I'm afraid maths is not my strong point but I can keep focused...wishing you well on your project ...sure it will be fab! Kym X
ReplyDeleteI'm reading huge determination in this post my friend :) If you're doing what I think you're doing I look forward to the 'how to'! Have a fabulous weekend full of productivity. It's going to be a wet one here so perfect for stitching!!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that huge fabulous mirror! Have a gorgeous weekend, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteAs I read your post I can hear the words of my dear mother ringing in my ears - "Patience is a virtue - possess it if you can. Always in a woman - never in a man!"
ReplyDeleteCan't fathom the "teaser"? Will just have to wait for the reveal.... Don't work too hard! ;)Sharyne

Maths??? No not my strong point.... I do all the finances at home so that could be a worry? lol. I wonder what you are up to and look forward to some more clues... Have fun! ;-)
