Viimeistelyn vaikeus/The Difficulty of finishing
Miksi on niin vaikeaa järjestää aikaa langanpäiden päättelylle, saumojen ompelulle, nappikauppaan menolle, niiden nappien ompelulle jne, jne, jne...? Aina vaan aloittaa uuden neuleen ja edellisen lähes valmiin neuleen palat joutuvat pussiin... Tässä kuussa asialle on tehtävä jotain!
Why is it so hard to organize time for finishing ends, sewing pieces together, going to button shop, sewing those buttons etc... New objects are always more interesting to start and I have a bunch of pieces... I have to do something about this this month!
