This is my scrap ball. Just started it a couple days ago. Every endeavor begins here. Small. Some just grow faster than others. And that's ok. Frustrating, ok, maybe sometimes. But ok. There are some things you just KNOW you're supposed to do. What's been ringing in my head lately is "do not despise small beginnings". Everything has to start somewhere. Just begin. Run when you can, walk when you can, and crawl if you need to. Just keep going. Pretty soon, the beginning will be a distant memory of another time. And that memory will help you relate to and encourage someone else going through their small beginning. And THAT, my friends, is what it's all about.

wise words... really wise.
thanks for the gentle reminder that we all start small and where we go from there the possibilities are really quite endless!

Well said! Do you have any future plans for it? I've seen some beautiful scrap rugs online, and also a scrap apron that was lovely. I might just try to start a ball myself...

Okay, sticking my 'tard neck out here, but what's a scrap ball for?? Just a way to store the scraps you want to save, or is it for a project? Help me out here!
I have a rubber band ball... can I play too?
