TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES

so, i finally got some work done on my quilting project. i'm done all the cutting! whew! i know the sewing will take a while but i love when i get a big step completed. this reminds me of what i learned in the creativity classes for women that i took last fall, setting goals for myself and celebrating my accomplishments (not that finishing the cutting is a big accomplishment, but enough to give myself a pat on the back and keep on trucking!). how do you set goals and celebrate milestones in your craft practice?
as part of the Toronto Craft Alert's goal to galvanize the city's craft community, we'd like to get a bit of a discussion going. discuss any crafty topic you like... we'll be re-posting this thread every monday morning, so that the discussions can continue in the comments section of this post.
