I'm slowly re-discovering what any parent knows. One moment the baby doesn't move and the next minute they vanish the second you turn around! Who ever said baby steps don't amount to much, never spent any quality time with a toddler.
The same is now how I'm addressing my life. I can't control everything and I don't have time or energy to do everything that I can control. I have allowed my to-do lists to be a weight on my shoulders that I can not bear. So, like the baby taking early steps, I'm setting myself the goal to do something for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. It doesn't have to be 30 continuous minutes either. Just 30 minute to work on something that has a tangible result.
Yesterday was 30 minutes that turned into an hour of working on my Border Creek Quilt. I sewed my three border strips together (the width of the fabric - and four sets of these) and was about to start cutting into 1-1/2" portions when I realized I had cut the red strip too narrow. Some days I don't know if I can actually use a ruler properly. At least I caught it before I took the next step.
The day before I worked on a very old UFO from a Sampler of Stars quilt. While it is not much of a change since the last time I touched either project, it is progress none the less.
Today, I rededicated myself to documenting this journey with this blog. Small steps, but they add up.
