Today went slightly better? It was one of those I worked on things all day and don't actually have anything to show for it kind of days. I think my biggest accomplishment all day was keeping the fire going long enough to heat the house enough so that I could wash my hair. I also knitted a bit on the hat, plotted card making and went through the supplies that came with me, and contemplated baking. Space is a bit of an issue and I am not totally sure I have what I need tool wise.
As for the optional question, how much planning I do in advance depends on the project, but there is always some. It can take some plotting to figure out how to make my idea work with the supplies and tools I have, especially as there are some major restraints on getting more. Also, until very recently, I was constantly house-sitting (like by the last year I was doing it full time, I was spending maybe 2 nights a month at home, and not consecutively), so I had to take everything I would need for a project with me, which requires some definite planning. That being said, meticulous planning does not happen and things tend to change drastically from the planning stage to the finished product.
