Getting Started
Who knows what sparked that first move? Maybe I was procrastinating on the next phase of the ongoing sewing projects. Maybe I wanted the light from the window to be over my shoulder instead of behind my back.
Puzzle Pieces
There’s a period of time for muddling through and wondering if you’ll ever get it. And then, at some magical point, it all makes sense. When it makes sense, it suddenly seems simple and obvious. How could I not see that before?
Studio Time
So, here’s my invitation to you. Find some time to play. With whatever medium appeals to you. Maybe it’s fabric or fiber; maybe it’s clay; maybe it’s music or gardening. Have some fun, and remind yourself that it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Possibilities and Choices
Sometimes, with new clarity and insight, the next steps become clear—perhaps even unexpectedly obvious.
Not Quite Perfection
It’s even more interesting to help them navigate their frustrations. This is also known as asking them not to whine, to find a nicer way to ask for what they want.

Sewing Project Completed
The weather was perfect, the setting was beautiful, and the gathering of friends and family was beyond heartwarming. I don’t have enough words!
Looming Deadline
The looming deadline is fast approaching, and today got away from me.The sewing project is coming along nicely, especially with a little help from some of my favorite people.
Special Project
The figuring out is based on previous expertise, a fair amount of research (online searches, videos, books, knowledgeable friends), and lots of thinking things through.
