Well, well, well, here I am, trying to start this whole thing again. (If you could see me, I'd be gesturing vaguely at everything and nothing.) Haven't blogged in at least a year or posted any of my projects so this will basically be an attempt to reinvent the wheel, if the wheel was a blog and inventing it was just following through.
I don't want to get into what all has happened in the last year or so - it's so much. Too much to just dump on someone in a blog. So instead, let's focus on what I will be doing now.
#1 - I have a million hobbies and there are a million more that I want to learn. I'm going to have a schedule so I can keep making progress on my endless Works In Progress (WIPs) and learning new things. I'm thinking about something like this:
Maker Monday - for mosaics, Cricut, Mod Podge, painting, wood burning, etc.
Trinket Tuesday - for my jewelry-making
WIP Wednesday - for whatever project needs to get completed or has activated my obsessive attention
Crochet Thursdet - lol
Knit Friday - I could think of nothing cute. Happy to revise this with your suggestions
Sewing Saturday - learn with me! We can suck at it together!
Sculpture Sunday - Why can't I quit you, polymer clay?
I'm sure there will be wildcard days too, when I break my own rules.
#2 - To hold myself accountable - and to hopefully build a community of like-minded nerds, I'm gonna post about it on Instagram and here. We can talk about our obsessions and failures and share weird memes. I'm @stone.and.star on Instagram.
#3 - I'm going to be writing again everyday. Not just the blog, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo - look me up if you are too! Let's muddle through together. I think we all do better when we are inspired by others. I am open to wine and commiseration! I'd very much like to cultivate a writing group for feedback and banter.
So that's the plan guys. I did knit today and I recorded some of it; it's painful to watch because I'm not great at it yet but I DID IT! That's the important part.
Be apart of the journey, let's do this together!
