One should always have at least 2 craft projects going. That way, when one of them is messed up and misbehaving, you can switch to another, and let the first one sit there and think about what it’s done.
Sometimes (oftentimes), when a creative project is “misbehaving,” it’s because it is tired, and overstimulated, and just needs a time out to rest – like toddlers often need.
And sometimes, you should give your creative projects time to talk to each other, as well as to you.
