Hasta La Ideas

I’m in a sweet spot in my creative projects right now. For ongoing projects, it means that the momentum of being nearly finished motivates me to get them done. For new projects, there’s the excitement of seeing something that was in my mind start to be made real on the page. And best of all, there’s room for new ideas to emerge and future projects to dream about!

The fall content is assigned and so in the hands of others momentarily, Glen and I are writing the Compendium profiles and are about halfway, I’ve got the book design and page layout underway (I bought a new font for this project, it’s always fun and inspiring to work with a new typeface), a still-secret project is incredibly exciting, the granny square blanket I’ve been working on for SIX YEARS needs just a dozen more squares…

Everything is ticking right along, but none are so demanding that it is becoming overwhelming… yet! I know it’s the calm before the storm because a week from now the fall content starts rolling in, The Typewriter book preorder data needs to be compiled and the Compendium will be in full production and my projects will shift from creative bliss to “what have I gotten myself into!?”

So I’m definitely going to enjoy the time right now.
