Do you find it hard to admit that you have shifted gears?\u00a0 <\/span>I do.\u00a0 <\/span>My own expectations are often the thing that locks me in\u2014my own thoughts of what I should be doing while fully admitting that I don\u2019t want to do \u201cthat\u201d (whatever it is\u2026) any more.\u00a0 <\/span>Yep, I do that.<\/span><\/p>\n

It just takes one look at what I AM doing to see the shift, but it takes me a whole lotta time and mulling to give myself permission to feel good about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From \u201cThinking out loud\u201d to \u201cI Make Stuff\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n


\nA lot has changed.<\/span><\/h3>\n

I no longer make quilts, but I make a lot of stuff.\u00a0 <\/span>Other stuff.\u00a0 <\/span>So this blog is going to be a chronicle of making stuff.\u00a0 <\/span>Stuff stuff stuff!<\/span><\/p>\n

I knit.
\n<\/span>I bake.
\nI photograph.
\nI reorganise.
\n<\/span>I think.<\/p>\n

Then I make more stuff.<\/p>\n

Socks.
\n<\/span>Bread.
\n<\/span>Dinner.
\n<\/span>Blankets.
\n<\/span>Mittens.
\n<\/span>Sweaters.
\n<\/span>Messes.
\n<\/span>Connections.
\n<\/span>Connections of stuff.
\n<\/span>Connections of thought.
\n<\/span>Connections with folks.
\n<\/span>Positive connections.<\/span><\/p>\n

A lot has changed.\u00a0 <\/span>So what to do about that?
\n<\/span>My choice is to make the ground I stand on a positive, generous, hopeful, and inclusive space. <\/span><\/p>\n

One by one, one to one, one step at a time.
\n<\/span>Slowly, slowly. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to go make some stuff!<\/span><\/p>\n

And, as always, it may resemble watching paint dry.\u00a0 <\/span>But darn, I love watching paint dry and weather and chip and peel.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will be delighted to have you stop by this blog from time to time and join me.
\n<\/span>Cheers!
\n<\/span>Cynthia<\/span><\/p>\n
