Short Attention Span for Projects

Hi there! 

I realize that I get very much into various projects, and then lose interest.  An example would be my Breakfast In Seattle blog (http://seattlebfst.blogspot.com/), which I did manage to keep up for a while, until I stopped going out for breakfast.  My single follower was probably very let down--sorry, Sister! 

So I thought, maybe I'll just allow for that in my blog, and not force it to be about anything.  Instead, while I'm doing something I'm finding interesting/exciting and that I want to show off, I'll post about it.  Then, when I get distracted, you can't say you weren't warned! 

The picture that I've used as a tiled background (for the moment anyway) could be considered one of these truncated interests.  I like photography, and occasionally think I'm being arty about it (I especially like closeups that show texture and pattern).  This--yes, I'll just reveal my methods to you--is a close-up of a coil of nails that are supposed to be fed into a nail gun.  I thought they looked really neat with their iridized surface. In fact, I thought they were some sort of art project when I found them at a yard sale, which certainly amused the owner! He told me I could just have them, if I gave him a copy of a photo I took of them. I left that tucked into his front screen door over a year ago.  
The tiled photo is not my favorite picture of the nails, but I'm still learning about how to run blogspot and thought they would make a better background than some of the others.   I call my favorite one "Marching Nails."  I've just succeeded in adding it to the blog here, yay!

There are other things I think I would like to post about already, but some of them might involve other people so I'll be waiting until I have permissions.  In the meantime, welcome to my newest little project--let's hope I don't get distracted too quickly!
