Final Reflection

     Greetings again, fellow bloggers! I am pleased to announce the ever-closer end of this project! Though 'pleased' might be too strong a word. This will be my last official blog post, but I expect that I will continue this in the near future. Just for the novelty of it.

     Now then. It has been around two months since we all began this project, and I can honestly say that I'm glad that it is about over. Not because I did not enjoy it, but because I will finally be able to feel a sense of satisfaction when all these bunnies have been sent away. Oh, but I will not be sending them in a box like originally planned. Instead, my mom will take them with her when she drives up to U.C. Davis for cancer treatment next week. Admittedly, the aforementioned sense of satisfaction will most likely also be accompanied by the inevitable, sinking "what now?" feeling. Which is exactly why I would not be surprised if I soon find another project to pour my heart into!

     I would like to thank a variety of people for my continued progress in the 20% project, including April, who assigned it in the first place; Audra, my mentor, who was willing to put up with and help me through it; and all of my classmates and followers, who have provided me with invaluable feedback and encouragement! 

      In case anyone has forgotten, needs a refresher, or simply doesn't care to read my earlier blog posts--which is perfectly okay--here is the gist of what I did for my 20% project. I made 20 stuffed bunnies of varying colors and fabric, each about the size of my hand, and will be donating them all to the U.C. Davis Children's Hospital. Furthermore, as much as I care for the children, I did this for my own benefit as well. Before this project, I was rather inept at sewing. I figured that with this, I would be able to develop my skills as well as help children in one goal! I know, I know. So noble.

     I enjoyed my work during this ordeal far more than I had previously expected, And I can easily see myself undertaking similar projects in the future. While my first several bunnies were asymmetrical and full of little mistakes quirks, it was entertaining to see how I improved as I continued. By the end, I was able to put bunnies together in less than half the time it took me originally.

     Once again, I am grateful for all the help I received in the last two months, as well as for my faithful readers! I've no clue how you can suffer through these posts, but congratulations nevertheless. I hope to continue hearing your feedback in the future as well. Thank you!
