I knew that, but it always caught me by surprise and
it felt like I'm almost drown. Let loose is not something
I'm good at. So, this is something which helps me stay
on the ground at the moment. And sometimes I chant -
even in a different way than a friend once taught me..
from my sketch book - chanting and practicing handwriting at
the same time (actually, the mantra is nam-myoho-renge-kyo,
but I was interested in the flow of writing it and the sound rather
than the correctness in spelling)
So yesterday the street carnival has started again, but
this year I decided to lock myself up at home. I was
experimenting with an idea instead. This time my couch
was my working table while I sat on the ground.
I'm loving the typography on the vintage thread spools..
I actually have some felt items ready for the shop, but
I'll wait a bit till I list them. Something is still missing -
I'm not feeling right about them yet (argh.. I'm a really
weird, complicated person - why can't I just list without
having a 100% right feeling about an item...?).

My sons and I are that way. The younger one was writing an essay this week, supposed to be a rough draft. He said, "I hate myself! I can't do it halfway; I have to get it perfect."
It can be time-consuming, sometimes even crippling for me. Details and fine tuning matter, but I like "free-hearted" creations and I long to be set free from that perfectionism.
But we are who we are, right?
