Mignonette Presentation Box Kit update....

Yes.  Yes I know.  My end of February deadline for completing the presentation box kits has come and gone.  As deadlines are wont to do.  When I retired last year I pledged to myself that deadlines would be a thing of the past.  Yet here we are.

In my defence, I did say in my last post, and I quote:

 "With luck and a following wind I'm hoping that I'll get it all done by the end of February, but don't hold me to that. "

Anyway, no, they're not ready yet, although progress has been made.  The main problem is I keep having ideas for more contents.  And although they are generally very good ideas, I have to go through the process of designing the 'idea', then refining the 'idea', then producing a sub-kit for that specific 'idea'.  At some point I'm going to have to call a halt on the ideas.

I'd say I'm probably three quarters of the way through, then I have to tackle the instructions, which will have to be supplied as a PDF file otherwise I'll be printing out gazillions of sheets.

So, watch this space.

Hi Sandra! Deadlines are such an annoying thing... even when self determined! When I retired I wanted no more deadlines and no more appointments... just the freedom to take my own time! (Great Fantasy, right?) Lol! Life is fond of deadlines... so we accommodate as best we can... :):):)

So true Betsy! I shouldn't set any deadlines at all, but as I'm a dreadful procrastinator I do need some framework to work to. However, I am enjoying this kit, and getting lots of lovely things made for my doll shop at the same time. Win-win.
