How to Finish What You Start Every Time || For Sewing projects, Embroidery projects, Craft projects

I think I speak for many of us when I say that we have no problem getting excited about a potential new project. We see a movie, or a picture on social media, and we know just what we want to make.

We get over that hurdle and begin... but then at some point the excitement drains away.

That project that seemed like such a good idea at the time becomes heavy. We get bored, or intimidated, and work grinds to a halt... and we start beating ourselves up about that heap of lost hope sitting in the corner!

What to do? That's what I've addressed in this week's video - and I'll show you another project I've been working on myself for ever to prove that it's not just you!

The braces/suspenders I'm wearing are from @papilionaceouspuresilk

The books I referenced are by Italian embroiderer Rafaella Serena - http://www.raffaellaserena.com/
* Berlin Work, Samplers & Embroidery of the Nineteenth Century
* Embroideries and Patterns of Nineteenth Century Vienna from the Nowotny Collection

Original suspenders are all from the Metropolitan Museum, New York

Thank you, thank you, to everyone who has sent something to me. It is deeply valuable to read your words in your own handwriting and hold them in my hands. It helps me to connect to who you really are, and what you really need from me. I read, enjoy and treasure every one. Thank you.
