I have a tendency to stay up late, especially when I find sites that give me lots of inspiration to do things with things that I already have. Well, tonight as I was browsing
Burdastyle (this really awesome site for posting sewing projects and sharing patterns... oh and free patterns!) I got this great idea to start writing down all of the ideas for sewing projects I've had and that I want to accomplish by the end of the year. I've pretty much almost filled up an entire page. The thing about this list is that all of these things I can make right now if I wanted to because I have most of the supplies. I just need some kind of spark to get me going on any project. Lately I've been very lack-luster in the spark department for anything. This deployment sure has gotten to me. We're almost at the half-way point! Hurray! (cheering crowd in the background). Okay, okay, settle down. To me it's not that great, but somehow I suppose I'll slump through it. No, I know that's not the proper way of looking at it, but after a while it's hard to be peppy about another 5-7 month's separation.
Anyway, along with writing out this
huge list of DIY sewing goals, I'll soon write up a list of crochet/knitting goals to accomplish because I gots me some Christmas presents to make! (with stuff I already have, of course). And in my head I've also made goals that I WILL do (thanks to help from another blogger, Jillian over at
Iron & Sunshine who re-introduced me to the idea of affirming goals). I
will do things to get myself closer to getting a job. I
will make plans for my future.
I've been scared up until lately (though I am still scared), but I need to put myself out there and frankly "grow up". It's gonna be hard with a practically empty resume, but I am going to do my best! (I say practically because I have my AA degree which apparently means nothing if you don't have experience in anything. Who knew? hah....)
And I
am going to finish these projects! Maybe a goal should be to finish 1 a week (if not more). We shall see.
In other news, the weight loss is still going well, and so is the anti-nail-biting. So I guess I deserve some kind of pat on the back for that, lol.:)
Thanks for reading
Hope everything is well with you guys ♥
p.s. New readers, welcome! :D
