finis.
i have been finishing things. wrapping things up. cleaning the plate.it started with a scarf. i started it two years ago. i crocheted until i ran out of yarn. so i finished jack's scarf that i started last year. then i picked up the quilt i started in 1998. i spent the weekend stitching. and stitching. i have half of it done. i will finish it this week. then, i will finish the cabin book for my grandma.
it feels so good to get these things done. they have been sitting around, wasted, for too long. and i have to tell you, the absolute sheer joy on jack's face when he turned to look at me, the scarf wrapped around his neck... that made the finish so incredibly worth it.
and not storing a blanket i can't use? that will be nice. i'm all about cleaning out the junk right now. finishing up the unfinished. making things neat again. i get so bogged down by the weight of stuff. by the weight of unfinished business. i'm a project starter. i am very much a project finisher, as well, but sometimes, i set things aside "for a while." and a while is never a short time. i want to feel like my plate is clean. fresh. new.
and so i am finishing things up. getting ready for the freshness. waiting for it. doing what i can in the meantime. and i am enjoying it. i like the focus. i've missed it.
