I love starting projects. I love finishing projects. Then somewhere in-between, I get antsy. I want the destination but don’t necessarily like the journey. I keep getting new ideas, and I want to do them all NOW. My husband thinks I’m not very patient. He’s a detail guy—lots and lots of details, expanded further by even more details of the details. I’m already thinking eight projects ahead while he’s still talking about the first. I get it…I get it! Slow and steady wins the race.
I don’t mind the work; it’s fun and builds bone density. And, I don’t mind the mistakes. They’re inevitable and oddly seem to happen all at once. Presumably, the unlikeliness of hitting the bull’s eye over and over would happen all at once as well. Nonetheless, my passion is to make things beautiful whatever amount of time or effort it takes but when working with ceramic tile, that beauty can be dang near close to everlasting.
