It's interesting how the beginning of
each year gets everyone thinking of one or more resolutions for the upcoming
year. What is a resolution anyway? Well when I looked it up it was
defined as “a firm decision to do or not do something”. It seems
like resolutions are or at least should be considered during all
times of the year, and not just at the beginning of each year. How
good are you at making or keeping resolutions? I have not been so
successful in the past....surprise, surprise. One year my New Year's
resolution was going to volunteer. In what, you ask? Well I got as
far as looking up some options online but never actually signed up
for any volunteer work. I think every year I resolute to be healthier, whether that is to eat better,
exercise more, drink less, etc. This is something I really want (and
need) to do this year but I am not making that be my “New Year's
Resolution”- it needs to just be a lifestyle change I make.
After much thought, I decided I want a specifically attainable New Year's resolution. Since we moved into a new house this fall, I have been really into doing projects around our house
and have been sewing a lot more. I also love to do crafts and
luckily with the help of Pinterest and watching youtube videos just
about anyone, including someone as non-creative as me, can make just
about anything themselves. I also recently learned that one of my new friends
I met in KC has a blog, which is mostly about her moving to KC a
couple years ago and having/raising her son. I thought to
myself...isn't it true that about anyone could blog? Maybe I can and
should create a blog?!?! I personally don't think that my life is
interesting enough to solely blog whatever diarrhea of the mouth I am
have at a given moment, so I decided that this blog will be have
weekly updates and will be about me completing some sort of craft,
sewing, painting, or DIY project of the week. This will be a great
way for me to not only get a haul on some of these DIY crafts/home
improvements I “pinned” at some point over the past few years and
have had every intention of doing but haven't gotten around to it,
but it will also be a good way to document my newly found craftiness
while getting to share some weekly insights/rants/raves about other
random things going on in my life.
So here's to 2014! And to me trying to
actually keep a New Year's Resolution...to blog about at least 52
weekly craft/sewing/home improvement/DIY projects. I hope you will
either laugh with me at my failures or be impressed with my
craftiness!
