Calm is a superpower. Trying to fit as much sewing and knitting into my day as possible. Plus cats, and gardening, and books.

Some days the internet provides gems. This thread started as ADHD strategies, which I thought wouldn't apply to me as my executive functioning is fine. Instead it's my body that is no longer cooperating. Turns out, the mindset suggested here is just as relevant for my situation.
"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

I changed my mind about this linen. It was going to be a hinterland dress. However, I wore my cotton Hope dress to work on Friday (last pic) & decided I needed another. So I skipped the other projects in the queue & am just about finished. #garmentsewing #sewsky
Two for one. Got the veggie run & the grocery haul done before the heat settled in. #ebike #cargobike
More than 1, you say #showmeyourknits? Hold my ginger beer! These are all the socks I knit while fine tuning my upcoming sock pattern (-2 I gave to mom and 2 never finished). After the green-navy in top row, I figured out how to determine the width of the heel turn without measuring. Test call⬇️🧶

Finished my Hinterland dress! I can understand why this is such a popular pattern. All the modifications went smoothly & now to wait for cooler weather. There are 2 more to be done in a black linen & a blue checked cotton. (Just need to finish the 3 WIPs already cut.) #sewsky #garmentsewing
My quality manager and I are completely obsessed with this linen. It’s from Moline Mercerie in Paris. It's a heavier weight than I usually buy and it's fabulous. I should have bought all the colors! It's becoming a Hinterland Dress with a few modifications. #sewsky #garmentsewing 🪡
