Kris Madison's A Series of Uncompleted Events

It's been a quiet week 'round these parts with only my racing brain and self-imposed deadlines keeping my stress levels up to their usual shame-inducing heights. I've got a bunch of projects half finished, so every room of the house has something to remind me of my ridiculous lack of time management skills. This is how my brain works:

Project One: The Closet

I got a new/antique cabinet for my office that I'm using to store all of my lingerie and saucy photo shoot outfits, plus my art supplies and assorted other junk that's cluttering up my space. I want to have a clean office with uncluttered surfaces that encourages me to work. Feeling claustrophobic? Doesn't boost productivity levels.

I've got almost the whole thing filled up now except for 2 shelves. I can't decide if I should put my gym stuff and PJs in there or if I should keep them in their current homes - the plastic baskets taking up my valuable closet space. Since I can't decide which spot will work best, I haven't done anything. So I have this simple closet organization project 90% finished, save for the baskets of t-shirts and PJs that are sitting beside the cabinet, in front of the doorway and begging my feet to trip over them every time I come in and out.

Project Two: The Chaise



I bought this at Ikea months ago in the As Is section. It didn't have a slip cover for it, which made it super cheap. I checked out the slip covers, decided I didn't really like any of the options and thought they were way overpriced. Surely I could make one myself with cooler fabric and for less money!

So far I've made the two back cushions. They turned out surprisingly well. I've got little to no sewing experience, but since I learn by doing, figured it was best to just jump right in. The zippers were tricky, but all in all I'd say the project got off to a successful start.

Now that bottom piece is another story. I have no clue how to even measure to cut out the fabric to do the curve that wraps around the back cushions. And the fabric I bought? End of the roll stuff that was a bargain, but also means that I can't get more if I mess this sucker up. I have zero margin for error here and since I don't know for sure how to do it, I'm stuck in the Procrastination by Indecision Zone. Indefinitely.

I've got a bunch of work projects sitting in similar states of unfinishedness that I won't bore you with the details of, but suffice to say that I am a prime example of someone who would benefit from hiring a life coach. 'Course then I'd have to shoot myself. You know, for hiring a fucking life coach and all.
