Adjusting to a New Rythm
For those of you who are still around, I know that you are getting tired of me apologizing left and right. This is a bad habit of mine even in person. However I do have to apologize for being away for soo long. There were changes at work that went down real fast. Between learning a new position and the continual lack of manpower at work, I have not had much energy for working on my projects. The fact that the Forever Project has been going on for forever has not helped in the matter either. The long and short of is that it has taken a lot longer to readjust to these changes than what I was expecting and now I'm simply trying to find what new rhythm to go with. So please bear with me as I try to find the best way to go about things.
In truth, during my time away from here, I've hated not working on my sewing projects. I know that now when I have little energy is when I need them the most. I've miss being my creative self. This has always been a major part of who I am. In all of the personality tests I've taken in my life I am firstly "Artist." So now I'm trying to reconnect with who I am & what I enjoy.
In fact indulging in my creative side is helping out the Forever Project. Where I last left the Forever Project back in July (yikes). With some assistance I got the top as perfect as I could get it... almost. With the adjustments made to fit me like a glove, the seams around the side darts were not matching up. I had no idea how to remedy the situation.
A couple of weeks ago I went to the Franklin Park Conservatory to check it out. I simply wanted to look around, explore and maybe even draw something. Well, I didn't draw anything, I spent too long exploring, so I was warn out also it began to sprinkle near the end of my visit. But despite the exhaustion of walking the entire grounds (in the building & the park), it recharged me. Most importantly the exhibit in the building helped me with figuring out on how to progress with the Forever Project. The exhibit at the time was Origami in the park. Which after seeing all of those pieces and the original base pieces completely unfolded, triggered inspiration on how to fix the the side seam so that it matches up. Using this inspiration, I had an experiment to see if it could remedy the situation. It worked. Now that I've tried the remedy, I am working on creating a cleaned up pattern compared to the -Frankenstein one that I've been working with. Once I've completed the cleaned up version, I can finally move onto the skirt, then constructing the Forever Project into its out and about wearable form.
That about does it for me this week. Again I kindly ask that you bear with me while I get my bearings straight, and wish me luck. Below is a link to the Franklin Park Conservatory, if you're interested as well as some of the photos that I took during my exploration. My facebook people know that I took a lot of photos. Until next time.
