Time does have a way of getting away from me each spring. My "to do" list (not just fibre-related projects) seems to grow exponentially with the increase in warmer temperatures! This spring saw some big changes in my residential space -- new paint, new hardwood floors, and a huge reorganization/culll of stuff I had been collecting for more than 15 years.
Perhaps I could call it spring cleaning, because I certainly did provide a number of bags of clothing to charity, and household items too. There's still lots to do -- it's amusing to note how quickly things went into boxes, and comparatively how slow I am in unpacking! I really want to sort through the items that I return to shelves and drawers... if I'm going to do it, I want to do it thoroughly! But it takes time.
Time is at the crux of anything done well. My knitting projects really are no different than the hardwood floor now in . If I'm spending the amount of time on a project with intricate design details or stitches, then I want to do it well. When it's done, it should be an item I'm proud to share. I'm definitely proud of my hardwood floors....and genuinely thankful to my dear friends and their incredibly generous offer to complete the installation.
Along with these domestic disruptions, it's a crazy time at work as well. In my role, things have a tendency to escalate toward the end of the school year. Coinciding this year is the upcoming (Fall) municipal election which signals the potential change in elected officials. That makes the realization of "time running out" a stark reality for some, necessitating drastic and spontaneous activity to accomplish what goals they had set out at the beginning of the year/term.
In all of this chaotic activity, there are two messages I believe are critical. And I will end this post with these words of wisdom...
