MISSION COMPLETE – FABRIC PANEL COMPLETE!
I actually finished this fabric design a few days ago, but the weather has been so lousy I couldn’t get a good photo and the computer editing was taking forever…I should go back and re-photograph …but not any time soon! It’s good enough for me!
I just loaded my design onto Spoonflower ,ordered a swatch and now I must wait…I hate waiting! If the fabric looks good I can make my design public and other lovers of Cardinals can order my fabric too.
Speaking of great love of Cardinals. CBS Sunday Morning had a beautiful segment on Cardinals. Check it out: http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/nature-cardinals-in-the-oklahoma-snow/ I must warn you, this segment forces you to decompress, quiet down and be present… This is hard for me to do, but I truly understand its importance… treat yourself!
Other news…
I have a 4ft x 6ft canvas sitting in my bedroom…massively unfinished. I plan on “JUST SAYING NO TO EVERYONE” in the new year – as politely as possible mind you, because my time has been leaking all over the place. I need to take it back. This starts Monday. Sorry world.
Pottery – I’ve got nothing. My poor instructor has been sick for almost a month which slowed the kilns to a stand still. I have lots of cool things I’m doing there, but they have been locked up. Next week I shall take pictures I hope. Photos always allow me to visually see productivity, which I need since I always feel like I haven’t got much done!
I am working on stopping this. The “WORRYING ABOUT TIME” thing. I’m not sure why I always feel like I’m in a race or need to sprint to the finish line, especially since I don’t even know what the finish line is mind you!!!
Isn’t that the definition of insanity??? I have been feeling insane all month!
Well January is pretty much gone. My New Years starts Monday.
Taking my time back
Creating an Action Plan
Stopping the Time-Worry Tape Recording in my Head
Freeing up Self to Embrace Happiness
Yep. Tall order. But, I’m ready to dig in.
Wish me luck!
Be Creative Mary 
Good luck! from someone who feels pretty much the same.
I feel the same way but today I got so much done and much of it was enjoyable. I realized that if you have a plan and stick to do you can accomplish a lot. I need to start setting goals every day or at least weekly (with a timeline attached). Good luck with ‘taking your time back’.
