(1) · My original capstone project was to create an irrigation system for the plants in the Commons on top of the bookshelf.

In order for the new system to work I had to completely change the way that the water was going to flow to the plants. (1)

Crocheting is a learning process—you have to have determination and dedication to improve and develop your own styles and preferences. (1) · I did the best that I could with the time that I had. I made a system that worked and that watered my plants. It is not nearly as fancy or sophisticated as I had originally planned on it being, but I still made it happen and I am proud of it. It was a struggle and a half to completely spin and start (1) · I learned to stay true to my style and trust the process. Also how I need to realize that I'm not going to be a professional painter/artist overnight. Also stop giving myself such a hard time. (1)
