305. Did you ever get the feeling you're going backwards?

Mailart 365 - 303

303.  As the days of mailart365 dwindle down to a precious few, I'm feeling a little bit pensive and a whole lot of urgency!  And I love it.

I love bug stamps and bug fabric.  Hmm.  Haven't seen my bug fabric in a while, even though I went through all my fabric last week.  Surely I'm not out?

This one is so stupid that I love it.

Another of the Mailart 365 participants has a son who decided to do -- and post online -- one project a day for a year.  (The project has since become a book.)  His mother said that he remarked that you have to throw away all ideas of perfection and preciousness to achieve such numbers.  My hand-stitching isn't evident in any of these; I even eschewed trim, mostly.  Eye on the prize.

246 down, 119 to go before December 1 if I want to keep on schedule.  I've always taken the position that my goal is to make 365 postcards as part of this group, without much urgency to finish on a given day.  But let's face it; deadlines exist to make things happen; and mailart has been happening at my house lately, with pleasing results.
