The one thing I like about meandering is that it doesn't take much planning and it goes fast. It's more fun if you throw in stars, hearts, leaves - anything you can do freeform. To keep the size and spacing of my meandering uniform, I think in terms of coins - a little loop around a dime, a medium size loop around a quarter, and a big loop around a 50 cent piece. Music and wine is a good idea too.
