The Little Box of Treasures

It's so tempting. It's like wanting to eat dessert before you finish your dinner.


And that little box of three-dimensional goodies is the prize...the dessert. When I am finally able to attach all of those, it means that the finish line is in sight.

I can't wait for that moment!

But, I know...

If I attach them too early, I'll be frustrated with my thread catching on everything. I have to wait.


I'm so close to being finished. And I'm antsy. I want to move on. I have other things I want to do.

So, I'm trying not to fight that emotion -- I'm trying to recognize it and let it pass through me. Let the peace return.

I'm trying to settle into the final push of needle, thread and beads to complete this piece. And keep stitching. I should be finished soon.

(Just in time for the next snowstorm to hit. I think it will be on Tuesday night. I'm not sure Jack is ever going back to school!)
