I’m just relieved to know I shouldn’t feel guilty about not being a list maker!

Puttering vindicated through your lovely prose and a great Jungian quote.

Thank you Zinzi for so often coming up with just the right words at the right moment.

I really, really enjoyed reading this.... I enjoy puttering around (and its probably one of my favorite words to use) and this made me love it just a little bit more. I intend to approach my work this year with more of this perspective too. Not going in with a lot of structure or plans for the day and letting it lead me through my work.

Yes! I’m afraid I’m a list maker as well. It’s one reason I’ve been drawn to quilting lately, especially little scrap projects and improv quilting. It feels like puttering, just getting out some materials and playing around.

Yes! Passive-brain time is totally the best for ideas. I keep a waterproof notebook next to the shower for exactly that!
