In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.

1. Helped move my daughter into her first house. That went really well because we did it all without movers over the course of about a week, driving back and forth from Cambridgeshire to London several times a day in the hottest of the hot weather.

2. Made a good start on converting a sad old narrowboat - which had been stationary and on shore electric hookup - back into a boat that could function off grid. It isn't finished yet, but the fact that my son could live on it for most of the summer was down to everyone in the family suddenly learning a lot of new skills.

3. Made a good start at learning signwriting. I may still be apprentice-level, but if you needed a no-nonsense shop name painted on your building (or a name painted on your narrowboat) I now have that skill.

I have greatly enjoyed your signwriting posts. :D

Thank you! I'm aiming to start the whole course again to consolidate it, once I've finished the emergency cold weather sewing :)

Good idea.

>> once I've finished the emergency cold weather sewing <<

Yeah, I know how that goes.

Those are all definitely brag-worthy!

Thank you! I sometimes forget that just because things aren't finished yet doesn't mean that you failed at them, and that perhaps the effort to date deserves to be celebrated too :)

Progress is definitely worthwhile, even when it's not complete yet! (And it's worth celebrating all the effort along the way, imo!)
