Spatial Mathematics: A Study of How It Relates To Crafting

That's quite a verbose title, eh? I thought we could throw some math into the crafting mix and see what becomes of it. Yes, I do know that there is actually math in crafting, the whole measuring thing and all, but I thought we could dig deeper, expound further, and really study and reflect on this topic.

I know my readers are as smart as they come so I know you all will be able to help me find answers to all my burning questions regarding this theory.

And the question at the top of my list with regards to Spatial Mathematics is this:

Why is it that I can start with a (relatively) clean desk....

.....and then end up trying to craft in a 6" x 11" space?

And I find that when it happens, I'm also smaller, kwim? I'm crafting with my head down, shoulders hunched, T-Rex arms, slouched and curved so much that if a chiropractor saw me they'd start rubbing their hands in anticipatory glee. It's almost as if the universe is trying to compress me into that same crafting space as some sort of punishment, that it's railing against me for creating my own craft imprisonment, letting me know that I should push out and expand my horizons, to use every space, meaning all the creativeness I have at my disposal, instead of being too much aware of my constraints, like time (and the guilt of using it on something that's not "necessary") or my feeling of inadequacy with regards to my skill level etc. and that I really shouldn't be bowing down under all that massive and oppressive weight.

Now, that's heavy.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Get it?  Weight - heavy.  *snicker*  Did I have you there for a minute at least? Really, in truth, it has nothing to do with mathematics at all. I'm just a messy pig.

But I'm a messy pig who made a card though. And here it is.....

Like that lace flower there?  Isn't it awesome?  I unceremoniously ripped it off a shirt that no longer fit my daughter.  'Cause I may, or may not, have originally bought the shirt for the sole purpose of doing that in the future.  (And I may or may not have my eye on another shirt of hers that I plan to cannibalize the instant I think it's too small for her.)
