Hello Again!
It has been a while since my last post and frankly that is because I have not done much crafting or cooking, but I have done plenty of procrastinating. It is interesting that procrastination really seems to get me in the areas of homework and excercise. When I have a job I am much better at excercise and doing my tasks, often ahead of time. I think it is a student mentality.
As far as crafting goes, I bought some shrinky-dinks and I am currently looking for the right size and good enough quality silver charm bracelet chain so I can make custom charm bracelets for my friends. I love crafting but I don't really stay on one craft at a time. Lately I have put down my knitting and embroidery, and been perusing the internet for craft ideas. I have found some really cute ideas on etsy.com. All of my ideas I find I save into a folder on my desktop called "crafts". In some cases I label the picture or file with the name of the person for which I intend to make the craft. I am hoping this comes in handy, most likely around Christmas time, when I need to start giving gifts.
Another favorite thing that I started is saving the funniest online comics and articles in a separate folder so I can 'remix' them into craft projects and personal cards later. I am also starting an 'art' folder to store photos of beautiful art, especially those that I found were personally touching. I am hoping this will help me decorate when I get my own place. I hate when I know exactly the look or the idea of art that I want and I cannot seem to find, despite my endless and relentless google searches. So this should help me avoid that problem.
It is nice to feel organized even in these small ways because, while school is really busy now, I know eventually and hopefully after graduation in August I will be able to craft after work. Now if I can just get an excercise regimen that I don't dread :).
Sorry that there aren't any amazing pictures this time, but I wanted to share my ideas!
Sincerely,
The Dame
