the only thing that gets me in that fabled flow state, and I only make them for close friends: the joy of surprising them with one makes covering my flat in thread and needles for weeks worth it.

quilting a blanket or a jacket? intimidating. thrifting a 2 hour mini quilting project book and finding over 75 mini patterns to create cute little quilts to potentially turn into totes or mini tapestries to hang in your room? still intimidating but i think we can all agree it's significantly less scary than the first option.
i thought it would be much harder than it is but cutting little shapes out of scrap fabric and sewing them on has made me feel like a little kid in art class in elementary school in the best way. and a bonus is i found all the scrap fabric in every color i needed at Seattle ReCreative, a thrift store for craft supplies, for $3!!!
i'm currently working on the Pine Tree Retreat pattern!

a while ago my therapist got me to keep a list of mindful activities. Peeling hard-boiled eggs and oranges both ended up featuring. Mastering the technique is so satisfying: orange peel off in a single web; tapping the top and bottom of your egg, giving it a roll, then seeing how much comes off in one go. I am too scared to try the technique I saw on youtube where you tap off the top and bottom and BLOW the egg out. One day.

I bought one of these in the pandemic, used it a bit then let it gather dust. After seeing a friend using theirs on Insta, I got mine back out earlier this year and got obsessed. It's the soberest high I can possibly feel. It's so good for those moments where you feel all frantic and would otherwise reach for snacks/stimulants, replacing one intense feeling with another really relaxing one. I think I'm close to graduating from the starter mat to the big-boy spikes. Even my sceptical friends have ended up loving it.
