Tie up all of the loose ends

The end of 2014 brings a sense of closure, both project-wise and emotionally.

I've had a bit of time off from orchestra work after a busy (as usual) holiday season, so I've done a little catching up on small projects.



A fresh supply of eyeglass cases.

These are a great way to use up scraps of fabric and batting (and I have plenty of both).









And the latest version of the Bohemian Baby quilt, with a color scheme of pink, lime green and black and white.












Also, I'm attempting to tie up all of the emotional loose ends from 2014.  Reconciling a year of baby steps, and quantum leaps of faith (see this post ).  I'm hoping for significantly less excitement in 2015.

But I know these things going into the new year:
I can finally say with certainty:  I'm alive again, and it feels great.
In 2015, I am enough.


Happy New Year!

  1. Aww, Linda :( I'm sorry I completely missed the fact that you were going through such a yucky time this year. I lost so much social interaction here online this year while I was working on my thesis and finishing my degree. It's the pits that you've had to go through a divorce. I really admire your determination and success in moving forward and finding your way in the new state of being. Definitely get that sentiment completely internalized that You Are Enough - but actually, make sure to tell yourself often that you are One Pretty Darn Cool Person! I mean, most people just pull in and nurse themselves instead of doing things like giving summer hours to that center. Here's to an upcoming year of better living!! (And I look forward to watching your creativity outlets)
