When I go home, she always encourages me to read it, and help her find things she saw in it, like specialty bulbs or little project supplies. Luckily she doesn’t go overboard buying supplies.

I know that I could make it for less and would enjoy making it for less and the satisfaction of customizing it too. However, do I actually get around to making it? That is the only downside to all the things I want to make... And, this weekend is the Sheep and Wool festival, I'm sure I'll see all sorts of things I could make, would enjoy making, but will never actually get around to making.
