Gosh, I'm tired too. Got a lot of digital archiving done, working on detangling from billionaire-led big tech companies. Next week, I'm going to try to get my family's taxes done, and re-caulk the tub in the spare bathroom.

Working through the mending pile - I think my sewing is getting faster, and darning and hemming is making me feel more confident about making things from scratch! (That one is... still super intimidating.)

I'd like to finish knitting the current giant blanket in the next couple of weeks, too, and in an ideal world, get some writing done. It's been a while since I really had much mental energy to write, and I want to do more.

Yay mending!

One thing that made it easier for me to make things from scratch is to declare that the first 3 of ANYTHING are for practice. :)

That's a good rule of thumb! I keep being hung up on the idea that what I make will look silly, which I know isn't useful, but gosh, it's hard to break out of. I can afford to screw up three pairs of pants, though, if need be. :)

Ah, I traditionally lean in to the silliness, by making mockups from the most outrageous quilting cottons. G-d only knows what I'm going to do now, with Jo-Ann going out of business.

Thanks! I'm... trying not to go too hard and burn myself out, but there's never a dearth of things to do.
