If we define “karma” as “ACTIONS, and the natural consequences that arise from them” then freebies are just about the best karma creators can generate. In fact, they’re brilliant. Know why?
- Because creating something with the intention to give it away tells universe that you’ve got inspiration to spare. And the universe will agree with you, thereby doing a lot to insure that you never run out.
- Honoring the creative impulse when it strikes, no matter how it strikes, strengthens creativity. It’s like using a physical muscle—the more it’s used, the stronger and more durable it gets!
- A gift you give away has no price. That literally makes it PRICELESS.
- “Intelligent generosity”—giving only where it’s wanted—is as desirable a trait to cultivate as empathy, integrity, or honesty.
- Freebies are a fun way to “pay it forward” for the many freebies I’ve picked up and stitched throughout the years.
=heh= As I implied in the last item in that list, I’ve stitched a few freebies. When I want a project on-the-go, I’ll kit up a small one like this in zipper baggy then tuck it into my carry-all. I also like them when I want a fun little stitchy-something “in the hand,” perfect for when I’m chatting with a friend over coffee. Freebies are a fabulous, no-risk way to be introduced to a designer’s style! And most of them are just plain fun to stitch.
