These days sewing is a rare treat for me. So I pulled out a pattern from my long list of ‘somedays’, and I’ve been sneaking in some enjoyable hand work.
I bought the pattern, Sitting Pretty by Cynthia Thomaszewski, many moons ago.
This sweet little number can be done entirely by machine of course, but I’ve chosen to embroider the raw edges of the applique pieces by hand.
It is a serene event for me. It wouldn’t take very long, except I don’t have a lot of time. No matter.
It is the process that brings me pleasure.
How about you? Is it the process, or the finished product that you enjoy the most?
It is okay to have unfinished projects. I give you permission.





It’s definitely the process for me. I love the finished product, of course, but the process is so therapeutic!

It has to be the process. The projects are so involved, it would be pure torture, if it wasnt for the serenity and therapy of the process.
