Today I'm giving you the quote first and it comes via Jocelyn and is attributed to Brenda and the Serial Starter via THIS video...."Some day needs to be now". Take some time to think about that one. How many of us are saving 'special' fabrics or yarns (or anything else, really) for 'some day'. Some day when we're better at what we do, some day when a perfect project comes along, some day when our skills are good enough.

I am going to work harder at this concept going forward. I've been trying to 'shop my stash' if I can but there are still special things that I've saved for 'until' and I'm going to start using them.
DeleteI like the idea of using the best things now. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It's going to be hard to change old habits but I'm surely going to try.
