Hi Clare! I’m quite happy to have several projects in progress - even if the the progress is slow and long. I love projects of kinds - I like the ideation of coming up with the idea, the research phase when I learn so many new things, the doing, the shifting of the idea, and eventually the completion. I find that process extremely fulfilling. And sometimes I think I’m in the mood for a particular project, but I’m not - so it’s helpful to have some backups . I remember when my son was an infant and I was on maternity leave with him for over a year - I was really in the mood for a creative project, and I literally just could not think of anything that grabbed my fancy. That was a horrible feeling and I decided just to make being good at early parenting my project, as apparently that was all my brain had the capacity to contemplate! Sounds like you too do well having several ongoing works in progress? :-)

What a wonderful and meaningful to stitch the mural! Looking forward to seeing progress over the months! And I adore the Santa letter! Last year I thought about sewing an Advent calendar for my son, which I didn’t get around to. Now I’m thinking about a sewing/embroidery Advent calendar. First I need to learn how to do both ;-D, but as you touched upon in this or a previous post... having a big project to work towards is so gratifying and exciting.
