Yesterday’s blog post was so brief, so simple, I almost didn’t hit “publish.” No meaningful metaphors, no aha moment, just an adult version of refrigerator art (look what I made!). It felt like it wasn’t enough to share . . . which is exactly what convinced me to share it, because I know better than to let imaginary measuring sticks tell me what’s “enough.”

Thank you for responding so enthusiastically to my virtual show-and-tell. I loved every single comment!

Here’s what I’m working on now.

I’m attempting embroidery for the first time since 7th grade. It’s amazing how much I remember (but thank goodness there are online tutorials for all that I don’t!). I appreciate having something I can pick up and put down without all the set up and clean up so many of my other projects require. I find the act of sewing meditative (well, except when the thread gets knotted), plus it meets the William Morris standard, resulting in creations that are both beautiful and useful (my favorite!)

Once again, no great insights to accompany this post, but maybe that’s a sign my mind is at rest – a gift of increased creativity?
