Mask making, no matter how fun the fabric is, is not my happy place.
Playing with fabric, however, is always soothing and satisfying.
I'm having sort of a hard time getting starting on the projects I had planned to be working on this year and am no longer going to be bothered by that, they can wait until next year. I was doing pretty well dealing with things until a month or so ago, and I was really going into a dark place. Part of what I have learned (again) is that I need to try and be as kind to myself as I try to be to other people. I'm going to cut myself some slack and indulge myself a little more in the coming months.
And I'm going to play with fabric. I might end up with a mess (right now things are actually getting more organized), I might end up with a top, but I'm going to choose to see pretty things and think pretty thoughts and that's easier in my sewing room than in many other places.
