Paradigm (PAR - a - Dime)

Shift.

I've heard that phrase for many years. 

To me it has meant to look at things in a different way. 

That you change your perspective. 

I guess it was first used as a word to
define purely scientific methods.  

When I looked up the common (not scientific)
definition it is : 

"To change from one way of thinking to another. It's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change."

Anyway, I had a paradigm shift as I sat and looked at my craft room yesterday.  When I have a big project to work on, I tend to spread out on a kitchen table or set up a table in the family room.  (This has been evidenced by my many different projects that I locate in many different rooms in my house)    

So, as I sat looking at my craft room, I thought to myself. 

"I know why I don't like to sew on the sewing table. 

It is crammed in a corner with very little work space. 

It is not inviting to me." 

Then I said to myself,

"I know why I don't like to use the Cricut machine

on the drafting table in the craft room.

It's because it is always covered with too many

containers of pens and other stuff." 

I know, I seem to be talking to myself a lot lately.

But, that is when I had the paradigm shift.

I asked myself,

"Why do I have to use the sewing table for sewing? 

Just because I bought that sewing table at a garage sale

many years ago for 25 dollars,

I don't have to use it for a sewing table." 

That thought started a whole reorganization of my craft room. 

Now my drafting table is completely clear and available to use for my sewing machine or my Cricut machine at any time.  I have converted my sewing table to an organization shelf. 

Wow. 

I have been sewing the car seat cover

and nursing cover for Misty's baby,

and enjoying every minute of my large sewing space. 

I guess that's what happens when you "think."
