Procrastination
So...I didn't make my usual resolutions list at the beginning of the month...partly because I read an article about focusing more on the 'process' than the goal; getting in the habit of taking care of my teeth, or exercising and eating healthy most days a week, as opposed to "loosing X amount of pounds" - not that I've done a great job on that. Joined WW a few days before New Year's, and lost 5 pounds...and then started eating whatever I wanted again. Grr. Also, I have a confession to make; I've started blogging elsewhere. So the few times a year I do post here will probably fade away.
I do want to do a craft list for the season, since I'd like to get back in that habit (or process, if you will!), instead of playing video games on the DS after my son goes to bed!
- red dress; meant to make for Christmas but fell into a time crunch, new goal is for Valentine's Day
- heart wreath - I'd like to make a cute wreath for the front door; purchased a foam heart and tulle tonight
- finish David's birth announcement - cross stitched the dino, now I need to do the firetruck!
- make Sara's cross stitch door hanger - bought cute owl pattern, have fabric and thread, must stitch!
- finish Sara's owl blanket- I "quilted" a cute panel, but have not done the border, which should be done before it gets washed. She loves it though, and uses it most of these cold nights!
- make small owl pillowcase/pillow covering to match - this could be done in an afternoon
- attach firetruck latchhook to small pillow - I'm afraid to complete this one because I've lost the directions (which also had a cute firetruck pattern, dangit!), but need to just google and do it.
- attach large violin latchhook to dowel and hang in music room - this one has been on the list forever!
Okay, that's plenty for the next month and a half, especially since things get busy at school - feel like I'm juggling a lot of things right now with Violapalooza, spiritwear, organizing field trips, and LGPE being about 3 weeks earlier than usual!
