I’ve been looking for a certain pair of earrings for weeks—they remain aloof to me! I’ve looked high & low—in nooks & crannies—everywhere I can think to look. Then I remembered a tv mystery show where the main detective couldn’t put the clues together to solve the murder—so he had everyone do something totally different-- like clean! Well, needles to say I wasn’t going to clean to be distracted!!
Okay- I’ll sew or knit or weave. My brain kept thinking of where I hadn’t looked! Maybe, just maybe, if I walk away and try not to think about those pesky hidden earrings, they would come out of hiding!
So, what should I do? I could read one of my many books waiting to be cracked open--like these two:
Stories about quilts always takes you away to different times, places and events.
I could listen to Craftlit on my app--reading Jane Austin's first written but last released novel: "Northanger Abbey"--so many historic books to listen to!
Of course, I always have The Bible Recap at the ready as I read along with Tara Lee.
Sometimes, I'll cut out the pattern pieces for several blocks at one time as I listen--
SO, I was distracted for a little while and just like that detective, while he was cleaning, thought of the solution to the murder--I thought of one more place to look for those misplaced earrings--AND
Holy Moly --there they were!
Why is it always the one place you never think of looking you'll find the missing object???
