misocrafty

So yesterday was the first day of spring. Though it is still rather cold and rainy here, It is nice to know changes are on the way. I have been thinking a lot about the projects and crafts I want to pick up or start working on again.  Knitting, which is my favorite, has kinda over taken and I haven't felt very crafty otherwise. So again it is list time. I won't be setting aside my knitting, mostly I need to just prioritise. I can't get more hours in the day, but I can watch less tv, internet less, and use my time differently.  I know when I am creating I am happier.

on to the list of things I want to do:

1.  Take pictures daily. Carry my camera with me. Use it. Hopefully take a photography class.

2.  Start bookbinding again. I could use some small books to carry around lists in my purse. I really miss paper crafts.

3. Use my Gocco. Incorporate it into my bookbinding/paper craft.  Stop being afraid I am going to mess it up.

4. Draw more. I gave this up in highschool but I miss it now. Even if it sucks at least I am doing it.

5. Get a better grasp on Photoshop and Illustrator.

6. Use my scanner, for archiving, picture and drawings. Taking advantage of it could start with me plugging it in.

7. Not super "craft" orientated.  But, reply to emails, quicker. And really get my links organized.

8.  Start a birthday calendar, send handwritten notes.

9. Journal outside this here blog, which goes along with drawing.

(oh my I can't believe I forgot these)

10.  Bust out the sewing machine. It is covered in dust. I have things, like jeans that need to be fixed along with fun things. I  wish I would have joined isew iknit, so I would have had some motivation.

11. Really for serious plan my first quilt. I love these.

12. Order blanks for my button maker, I miss the fun times I had with it!

ah, I am feeling a little craftier already. More to come.
