Well, linking to Art Journal Journey proved very difficult with the quote set by Wendy for this week. The quote was "There's not enough hours in the day for all the stuff I'm not going to do" and the closest song I could come up with was by Chicago - "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?". A tenuous link but the best I could come up with for Alison's challenge which I really wanted to link with.
I did try several songs about laziness, idly lying about but when you examined the lyrics they were not at all suitable being drug related or even worse. So I settled on the song by Chicago, at least I could write a story.
"Patsy was a crafter. She was always busy making things, buying new products - you name it, her whole life was about crafting. She had a lovely dedicated large craftroom, filled with shelving and a huge table in the centre of the room. Dotted around the perimeter were also a couple of smaller tables where she could work on the different disciplines, such as her die cutting station, her 'dirty' area which was where the large old Butler's sink was for the messy projects she loved to do, and the clean area which housed her sewing machine and bales of fabric which she could not resist buying.
She had a TV mounted on the wall just beyond the doorway and that was linked to her computer so that she could watch You Tube demonstrations whilst she got on with her current project, whatever that may be. In short Patty was missing nothing in her life. Her husband was a quiet mannered soul who was quite happy to let her get on with all the things she enjoyed and he was quite happy to help with the housework as and when necessary. If truth be known he did most of the cooking these days and was becoming quite the accomplished chef.
"Oh I don't know" replied Patsy.
"Surely in that wealth of You Tube videos you have saved you must be able to find something" he answered.
"There's not enough hours in the day for all the stuff I'm not going to do" she replied, with a smile on her face..
Henry sighed, sometimes he wondered what on earth went on in Patsy's world. But he didn't say anything, he loved her so much he just wanted her world to be perfect."

Aaaaw, this is a lovely and romantic story! But I know that feeling of neved having enough time, I think we all do! Thanks for another gorgeous piece for Alison's challenge, and have a great day. Hugs, Valerie
Fantastic page and a fantastic story too, what a lovely husband. Perfect for the words you were given. I hope you are ok. Take care. Hugs xxxxxxx
What a lovely story, and a wonderful page Neet. My hubby is very understanding too, and often cooks :-)
Thanks for linking up to my AJJ theme again. I'm a big fan of Chicago.
Hugs,
Alison
P.S. Hopefully next month's theme will be less tricky for you and Wendy :D
Fabulous story, love it. Peter is understanding, and I do spend a lot of time in my studio, but he doesn't cook, so that would be on his list of things he doesn't do, along with a list too long to put on here. I have been helping to hang our exhibition in Wales and we will finish it off tomorrow. It opens on Saturday for three weeks.
Hugs Wendy xx
Neet Patsy sounds like she lives in a perfect crafty world how lucky she is.. but she does start Hubbies day off with poached eggs on toast what more could he ask for. I think you linked up your page with Alison's theme so sweetly with that Chicago track. My Hubby is the kindest soul I know and will do anything to make me happy although he's not the greatest of cooks bless him.
Take care Hugs Tracey xx
That's a good song and I think it's a good choice for your quote and page today. I like the face and all the assorted craft supplies around it. Very cleverly done Neet. I'm glad you were able to join Alison's challenge again this month. Thank you. And I hope you have a great end of the month and start to May. hugs-Erika
Is there ever enough time, this month seems to have flown by! Loving the bright yellow and how you've portrayed all the things to do in the images - perfect 😀. Wishing you a happy Friday and enjoy the bank holiday weekend! Hugs Jo x
What a wonderful back story. I am a big fan of Chicago, so it was great that you were able to pair that with your latest journal page. This is a lovely entry and I want that craft room you described. Thanks for sharing this wonderful final entry at Art Journal Journey using Alison’s theme.
Time has certainly passed by for me last month and I didn't get that much crafting done. I too am grateful for a hubby who cooks and deals with some chores! This page is so cheerful, even though lamenting the lack of time! Happy May Day, hugs, Chrisx
