With the wintery days, there’s been plenty of time to complete a few projects while warding off cabin fever. It’s so good to see the snow, which has drastically changed our drought map. We guesstimate we’ve seen about 5ft in the week since Valentine’s!
All of these projects were mentioned in more detail about the yarns and patterns in my last textile post about creativity. Completion means it’s time to wear or share and enjoy the hard work. But if you’re like me and have learned to love the journey just as much, there’s a little bittersweet to the end of a project. There’s no more doing to be done. No more thinking or solving or working. The good news is by completing, it opens the door to start something new.
