Suint Vat - Part Two

I left my vat for a couple of weeks. Mostly a time thing and I figured it could not  hurt! Wow is it stinky when you open it up. I set up a screen over a bin and took out handfuls at a time. 

I wore gloves and squeezed the fleece out ove the screen. 

Then I threw it in my commercial spinner, which I set in a tub to catch the water I spun out of the fleece. 

Once I spun it I decided it needed one hot water wash. I soaked it in a tub with some Euculan for about 30min. I rubbed the really dirty tips between my fingers and then spun it dry. 

I noticed that the fleece in the smaller tub was not as clean as the one in the larger tub, I think the extra water makes a difference. I started another cat and split a very large corriedale fleece into the three vats. I still have a little left over. 

The fleeces look fairly clean, no worse then when I do my two wash, rinse with them. Once they are dry I will be able to make a better decision on it I like the suint vat or not.

Let Go of Perfect

Perfect is an idea, a way of creating pain and a way of beating ourselves up. You can definitely have it all, but you are going to have to let go of perfect.

I am not saying to let go of your standards or your dreams I am saying: Cut yourself and everyone else slack.

Beauty come out of our imperfection.

The best discoveries happen almost by accident, when we let go.

Do the work, work hard and then let go. Think of it like learning to ride a bike. You can study the books and you can learn each of the steps to perfection, but in order to ride the bike you have to let go, let yourself gain some speed.

Being creative, running your own business works the same way. Get it all together, make the list, cross of each item, let go of the things that become less important and then let yourself gain some speed, let go of perfect.

Perfect is a myth, a construct. It is what happens only when you realize that it is perfect in its imperfections.

So be brave and be imperfect.

This beautiful saying has been posted by an anoynoumous artist along the KC trail in Rossland. 

"Even after all this time the sun never days to the earth you owe me. Look what happens with a love like that, it lights up the whole sky."

What if we worried less about who owed us what and focused more on doing just to do? 

How would that change your everyday? How could it change your thought patterns? 

What affect would it have on how you perceived the world? 

Sometimes...

For a very brief period...

Before chaos reigns my living room looks like this...

I am trying to tidy up once everyday, it helps me focus, stay grounded, and reduces my anxiety...
