I'm a crafting addict. There. I said it. You would not believe the amount of totes, boxes, and bags that I have filled with fabric, scrapbooking supplies, painting supplies, and general crafting materials. I get all of these "great ideas" about what i could make and how cool this-or-that would be...and then I never actually finish over half of the projects. Some of them are started, some are even over half way complete, while the majority of them are a pile of supplies waiting to be done something with.
I look glance at them all, looking for pieces to projects or longing to make something, and yet, I end up with a "projects to do" list a mile long and continue to add more to it.
So, this leads me to the point of my post. A challenge--to myself. More specifically, a "25 Project Challenge". The goal: to buy no more sewing, painting, or other crafting supplies until I have completed at least 25 projects with things I already have!
I originally saw this idea on a Facebook page I follow. I really liked that it essentially kept my spending in check and helped motivate me to use the things that I already had. The problem: I'm afraid I'll need something (like some new fabric for some summer dresses for Lissy) before I get to 25 projects, because, let's face it, I have little to no time to craft and sew anymore. Not that I'm not home all day long three days a week, but two of those days are spent with Hubby & Lissy, and the other two are just me and Lissy. I love that my little girl's a snuggle bug, but sometimes I wish she'd let me put her down for naptime. As soon as I walk away she's to be held. I do have a baby carrier that she does okay in. We maaay have to start using that more around the house.
Anyway, there it is--my crafting adventure for the foreseeable future! Wish me luck! ♥
