A quick birthday gift

I learnt a new phrase this week, “Chasing dopamine”. Each project gives me micro doses of dopamine, especially when I’m making a gift for someone.

Today I realised I had a birthday to go to but no present, and a lot of actual work to do. I chose to procrastinate work and chase the dopamine hit instead… I regret nothing. So proud of myself for knocking this out in 4.5 hours. Researched, sketched & transferred, sewn, wash, dried and backed with felt in time to go out for dinner.
