they say if you do something for 30 days straight it becomes a habit. here's hoping creating at least 1 item a day is now a habit for me!
some things i've learned from taking on this challenge....
*mondays are the hardest day for me. i usually work and grocery shop and sometimes exercise so there's not alot of time left for crafting. maybe that's my one day off.
*a migraine can still screw up my whole day=my only FAIL moment where i was sick and didn't get to make something.
*((as much as i love lists)) sometimes having a list seriously stresses me out. even though i know that's what i NEED to make i really need to throw away the list and let creating be organic. or else it feels like a job i don't want.
*my sewing machine is really loud so i can't sew while chris is sleeping. bummer.
this challenge reminds me of college in a way... sometimes when it was time for a studio class i didn't feel like going. well i went anyways and made myself create and then felt like oh yeah, i DO want to be doing this. we all get lazy, we all get caught up with life but i find if i just walk into my studio most days i am inspired to do SOMETHING. if my brain isn't feeling particularly creative then maybe i just work on price tags or researching shows. there's always something related and even though i love my crafting i am after all, trying to make it my business. ok, i guess it is already a business but i just mean a more successful (i.e. earn more income) business.
i am really rambeling on right now....oh man. i was wide awake at 4am this morning. read a little and then said forget it, i'm gonna start sewing the stuff i cut out last night. i sewed for 7 hours straight. didn't get dressed, forgot to brush my teeth, didn't eat--just sewed with a mission. i cranked out 5 handbags this morning and now...well, now i'm crashing and i think i'll take a nap.
these are the bags i got made...
another thing i've learned...i like crafty challenges. i like challenges in life- i get bored way too easy so this was very, very good. i think i may do another one soon. i just need to decide what one it's gonna be.
