I don’t have the house yet, that’s still a goal, but I definitely want my living space to reflect who I am. I feel better when I surround myself with things that I have created and accomplished, rather than only things I’ve bought. As for the sewing, I’ve found if I break projects down into even smaller parts, it feels more manageable. And if the terror is about being afraid you won’t like the end result, attempt some non-attachement and remember you can always dismantle something and use the pieces in other projects (quilts, pillow covers, picture frames, scrapbooks, potholders, etc.) Good luck and good sewing!
