I
was in the sewing room last week, putting the finishing touches on
two small quilts that had been sitting around for a couple of
months. As I worked on the binding, I thought about how easily
things get put off. I could have finished these many times and I
would have benefited from the escape to my sewing retreat. Instead I
let them hang there and taunt me every time I walked into the room.
Why didn't I make the time?
Later on I found a group of fat quarter fabrics that I
bought last summer with no particular use in mind. I picked up a
quilting magazine, chose one of the patterns and began to cut. I
totally enjoyed focusing on my sewing and listening to music. The
next day I finished this pretty little lap quilt: Bohemian Rose.
Maybe
I have a theme for 2016. No unfinished business here. Tie up loose
ends. Do what needs to be done. Say what needs to be said. Use it
or lose it. Embrace it or toss it.
Make time for yourself.
Make time for yourself.
I've
already started.
"There
are always going to be loose ends in life. You just have to decide whether
they need to be tied up, woven in, or cut off." ~Katie Scarlett
