Last night, I discovered that embroidery is better done during the day. Natural light seems to be easier on the eyes than crude artificial light. Maybe my lighting isn't the best but I have to go with what I have. I don't really invest in the halogen lamps used for crafting. It would be more a hindrance than anything else. I don't really have a fixed working area. I have a few area where I have projects, finished or not. Having the lamp wouldn't help me. I would have to set a place for the light too. So, embroidery won't be an evening activity.
Another evidence I discovered over the weekend, is patience and time. Patience is a vertue, as the saying goes. I had done some projects that involved some patience. I thought doing those projects would be completed a bit faster. It was not the case. I have to better evaluate time for each kind of projects. I would be more fatal is it were in a professional setting. I am not a professional artist but if I were, I would have deadline to meet. If I would have a commission, I would have to know how to set my own deadline. I will have to explore that further on.
Last evidence: working on something that demand a lot of details and concentration doesn't do well with a headhache. Both in the same time does not have good result. The projects seems to go even more slowly. I even questionned myself if I should stop and take a rest from creativity. My body was doing fine except the head. I wonder if there is a art that can alleviate the effects of headache. It would be something to look for and do some experimentation.
