progress on what Eli likes to call my "stitchery."
I started my first embroidery project some time ago, and I work on it little by little whenever I feel like it. It's six quilt blocks, all the same pattern, with a lilac plant and a butterfly on each block.
Because it seems like it will take forever to finish, I'm really not rushed about it. I like that it's something that I can do to unwind. I used to hate crafty crap because I'm such a perfectionist that I never could do anything up to my own standards. So I'm really liking that I can sit back and just enjoy the process of this, without fretting over how it will turn out.
And even as I type this I'm thinking, "Wow. What happened to the old Rachel? I can't believe I just said I'm not worried about the results. I'm actually just enjoying the process."
Yep. Thank you, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, for making all this possible.
