Life is Fabric

I don’t know what your skill set is. Perhaps you knit or crochet, or the most you have done is replace a button. Whatever your journey it is relative. If you were to map your life in creation the connection is there. Sometimes you drop a stitch, add a stitch, run out of thread. It could be the fibers are not the same and you run out, or it isn’t a match. You could even create something large or leave projects unfinished. Your blanket, your plan is yours. No one dictates your pattern, it is yours alone.

Life is exactly that, people come in and mingle within your life and you decide the outcome. You ultimately decide. Don’t sugar coat it, you decide, everything is a choice, everything. The woes is me and the come what may and the high fives are your makings. Different manufacturers, producers, marketing, ultimately it is you that allows the finished project. We struggle with this, we allow stuff all the time. We have control of what we control. When it’s good, it’s beautiful, when it’s not we play the blame game. Human nature is human and not perfect, ever.

Good things are worth waiting for. Figure out what you need before you even start. Don’t be too rigid in your planning, remember to take away rigid deadlines. Rally in your successes. Learn from your mistakes, and if you don’t succeed, try, try again. These old words are good words. Never be afraid to start again, good things take time. Sow up the holes in your fabric, change colours, enjoy the process and be proud of what you complete.
