Mind calmer? Check. (Hopefully this Hobonichi Techo Cousin planner will do the trick, as well as its "upkeep" - constant use and finding purpose in it.) Ideas percolating? Check. I wanna make pajamas for my dog (and other dogs). I wanna finish projects that I have sitting around. I wanna try new crafts. I wanna finish my certification, so I can go out and get more. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna... I also visited instructables.com and that blew my mind. CONTESTS ! With prizes! Now is the time...to make. But what should I make? I have been successful so far this year (yeah, it's only 15 days into the year...but it's been 15 successful days. :-) ), so setting a target to complete, sounds rather reasonable. There are projects that were left over from last year (wow, that just hit me. I left projects undone from last year!) that I should complete. And, if I do finish it, then I could compete in a contest! Well, that seals the deal. I am going
I guess this also applies to my son and not only me. My brain can get ideas all over the place. My best way to keep track of project ideas is a notebook. I've gotten on the Hobonichi Techo planner bandwagon for 2019, and I'm hoping that will get me in the mood to be thoughtful about my projects. I've spent the last couple of days cleaning my mom's sewing table - removing old projects (ones that have sat there for a number of years, and are best donated to those who could use the items as is, vs. altered in some way to fit a family member)...organizing the tons of "stuff" that lurked in the drawers...and vacuuming up termite poo. You can see the table top again! My family joked that a blanket my mom had started, but never finished (she basted several layers together), could be a family "heirloom" because if I don't finish it, I can always leave it to my daughter to finish. HAH. Like I'd let that happen. I have to finish it. Funny
