My favorite husband has often playfully teased me {or is he sending a message?!} that I am the world's best starter of a million little things...a million little things that often have to wait a long time before they cross the finish line.
Unfortunately, I resemble that comment to a tee. Poo!
BUT, {in my defense} often times those just short of the finish line projects look like this little 4 inch flower. Technically, they are finished. In fact, there are numerous little bitty creations floating around in my stash just waiting for their day to be chosen for a bigger purpose in life.
More often than not, me believes that art does imitate life, or is it life imitates art?
Some times it's okay, and maybe even necessary to just keep doing the little things especially when you can't see the finish line. Many things in life are a process. But one blessed day the bigger picture will come into focus. There will be a greater purpose for all those little things...
...even little ribbon flowers.
Oh, goodness I LOVE your ribbon flowers. I don't know what could possibly make them any more complete. Ribbons . . . beads . . . flowers . . . I'm in bliss!

Love this post Sue...so true! I have a lot of little pieces that are waiting for the bigger picture! And, the analogy to life if seriously true!
