upon completion of a project, there's usually a feeling of delight.  an internal satisfaction that the piece is done, finished :: complete.  admittedly, there are times when we're happy something is done, wiping our hands and conscience clean of the UFO factor, despite a lack of love for the finished piece. but more often than not, it is a rather good feeling, warming your heart and all.  and occasionally, if you are lucky, there's the "wow".  as in, wow - it turned out even better than i envisioned.

i think this quilt actually improved as it sat on the shelf for a few days waiting for the binding to be stitched as i ran with another idea immediately as it struck and a pocket of free time allowed.  sure, there was the possibility that it could have become lost in the growing WIP pile - but honestly, it made me happy even in its unfinished state.  it looked especially pretty just so.

thank goodness for a catering and jason bourne, i say.  the hub worked a few jobs saturday, so after the little ones were fast asleep, i finally had a few solo hours to do the two things i'd been putting off for almost a week.  there is a strong possibility that i may have even been procrastinating a bit in the knowledge that when i finished them both - the quilt and the dvd - that they would be over.  done.  and that there'd be a let down.  have you ever had that?

well, i am happy to say there was no let down.  the movie was great and the quilt... well, what can i say - i love it.  and i love that it inspired two other projects.  yay for that!  let the good times roll on and on.  xoxo
