Default How do you stop looking for patterns?

My god!

I can't seem to stop printing, copying, scanning, buying, and even editing patterns. Replace an horse with a hummingbird, etc.

So how do I stop playing with the patterns and get some scrolling done?

I have done some scrolling, but I've been playing with the patterns allot more than actually scrolling them.

Am I sick? Do I need a new drug? Is there a medial condition that has these symptoms?

There is no cure.
I have thousands of patterns, in fact I have over 1000 ornament patterns alone, and probably 10 gigabytes of scans and other patterns.
I spend more time looking for patterns and making patterns than I do scrolling.

I may have found a cure though. I am going on a cruise in January so no computers for a couple of weeks. That may help,,,,,but I doubt it.

I will probably be too busy on the dance floor anyway.
Steve you are right. I am taking a couple of cameras with me so I will get tons of inspiration

Carl,

Hand a camera to someone that isn't dancing and ask for photos of you and your wife dancing. Now that's a pattern in the making. Your Fred and Ginger pattern will have some stiff competition....Aye!
