This week was VERY productive on the crafting front! I was reminded that sometimes just taking time to think through a problem is still part of being "productive" even if I'm not actively sewing something.

The problem with having other hobbies besides crafting is that once I remember I enjoy them… they take away from my crafting time! Such is life I suppose.

Sometimes a project takes more time than expected and sometimes it takes exactly as much time as you expected. But I have found that very rarely does it take less time than expected.

Did I mash most of my crafting into one day? Maybe…BUT it got done and I'm quite happy with what I was able to do in a day <3

but then I realized… it's hard to craft in the middle of a multi-week office re-org project! SO in the spirit of the self-care theme I have going for this month, I am going to congratulate myself for not only doing the re-org but ALSO getting in a little crafting this week <3

I am stubbornly continuing with all of my projects this week, including starting my first big cosplay project of the year! It might be happening in fits and starts, but I am making time for crafting. I hope you are, too. Finding moments of joy and rest are so important right now.
