Savoring the Wins
Reflecting upon last year, I realized I did a terrible job savoring my wins. Whenever I accomplished something, I would briefly pat myself on the back, quickly forget about it and move onto the next goal. This made me feel stressed out and always wanting for more even though I did achieve quite a few things last year.
This year, instead, I decided to give myself grace and take time to savor my wins. To start off, I allowed myself to immerse in the joy of becoming a fabric designer. During the past couple of months, I let my imaginations run with my fabrics and indulged into various sewing projects. I made quilts, garments, bags, an oven mitt, an apron and more! Here are some of my proud creations.
But before I actually dived into a sewing frenzy, I wanted to make sure my sewing space was set up as efficiently as possible. I cleared up a space in the corner of my studio, bought an old sewing cabinet ($30 find at Nextdoor) and turned it into a modern and colorful piece of furniture!
And do you know what the coolest part of this cabinet is? That the sewing machine moves up and down automatically with a flick of a button! Take a look.
ISNβT THIS NEAT?

Now itβs time for me to slowly transition out of the sewing frenzy and get back into my regular art/design practice. But I feel it might take a while as I keep finding myself in front of the sewing desk. π€£
Do you often allow yourself to savor your wins? Be it small or big, remember to pat yourself on the back AND take time to celebrate it in your own way. π
