Well, in the process of finding my pattern sketches, I
remembered that I still needed to finish tacking the Blue Saint-Saens piece to
the black fabric so I can get the thing framed. Now this is usually when I
struggle to finish a project; when the thing is almost completed. My
perfectionism usually rears its ugly self and causes me to wish I hadn't made THAT
mistake THERE and how should I FIX it. I’ve committed to framing it for my
studio wall, which means there’s no deadline, which means I procrastinate since
I feel a lower sense of obligation to myself than to other paying customers.
BUT….
Yesterday I pushed through all that and finished the
tacking down. Wahooooo!!!!!!!
Now, to get to my favorite frame shop and get a frame picked
out so that I can measure the foam core that I’ll lace the black fabric onto.
Then it’ll be time to get out the tweezers and magnifying glass and bright
light to extract all the cat fur that has worked its way into the project. I’ll
try hard to get a photo of it, but can’t make promises. The camera was packed
away when we staged the house. Getting to it, getting things set up, and then
tucked away again may just not be in the schedule.
Tonight I’m taking time to sing in an Evensong service.
The ancient sung prayers have a way of creeping into my soul and calming my
mind and centering my energy. Something a house hunter needs!
