I normally
craft as fast as possible and with a deadline, I am very good at it. I
have been really enjoying spinning, to the point of not working on other
things that have deadlines in order to spin, but when someone asks what
the yarn I am making is for I feel a little panicky. FOR? um it is not
FOR anything, I made it.
I was just working on the 1840 dress for Badger, I estimated to have it finished in two days tops. I noticed the
instructions were 'out of order' and overly complicated and started to
look for why they were building the dress in this manner. I was stunned
by the simplicity of the final product and the benefit to the dress all
the "wasted extra steps" add. I started to understitch the back and was
suddenly filled with the calm that spinning brings to me.
So there it is. Self realization does not have to look like much, the bottom have of the photo is the inside of the bodice of her dress the top half is my ironing board cover, which is actually pink and clearly in need of cleaning.
I hope you work on something today that brings you piece and calm. ~ Julia (Joy too!)
