Clickety-Clack

Remember the birthday card and what I said about knitting myself a scarf? Well, you won’t believe what I stumbled across (press ‘play’ below) …and the deep self-analysis it’s caused me! I swear, it’s an allegory about calmly-crazed me. Perhaps I should get a haircut (figuratively, at least).

Just kidding. It’s all good. If it’s not the knitting needles, then it’s the scissors – or the sketchbook, or the sewing machine, or the computer. There’s always something else to fidget with. Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack… the soundtrack of my
life.

  2. That is apsoluty funny. I was watching it and my kids came in we had to watch it again we all got a great laugh. Then they all said it reminded them of me. Straight from one project to the next with out almost a heartbeat inbetween. that was just what I needed today after fighting with my computer for 12 hours yesterday when My blog had a slight ( understatement ) crash. I had to rebuild almost the entire thing. UGH!!!!
    Thank You for that it was Great

  3. Maybe, I am tooo deep, but I saw how true it is with more than just a need for a haircut….like my obsessions…..or how i go from one project to the next…..or the vicious cycles we put ourselves into……and right now ,the stages we go through…

  4. I can relate to that! I’m always hopping from one project to the next…sometimes organized, and sometimes a bit of chaos!
    Thank you for the animation link; it was so very cute.

  6. I know, I posted that video on my blog last week and I still go back to watch it. It’s so eerie and hypnotic! Click-clack, click-clack, clickety-clack. Too bad my needles aren’t as fast as hers (or am I missing the point, haha)!

  7. This little video is so funny and SO me. I can’t even relax – EVER – I don’t even plan on watching TV unless I can iron something or cut something out. My little boys and my hubby enjoyed watching. Thanks!
    I look forward to getting some of your gorgeous fabrics at my local quilt shop soon!

  9. Both hilarious and creepy at the same time! But it did inspire me to finish a project I started some time ago!

  10. LOL yes I definitely can relate. Can never let my hands lay idle, Always have to keep busy. Have been that way since I was little. Hate doing stuff that doesn’t create a visible touchable result of some sort.
