So I don’t make resolutions for New Year, but I do try to start projects. Last year it was to sew more clothes and that went off the rails when I couldn’t fit all my fabric in the tiny apartment and couldn’t remember how much I had. It’s amazing how much fabric accumulates when you can’t see it piling up…
Now after moving into a house and having space to sew and a kitchen big enough for more than two plates at a time, I think this year I should actually do those things. I also realized how much fabric I actually have and it’s an embarrassing amount. Add in being stuck in a food rut of what seems like the same three dishes and it is definitely time for a change.
This year I am planning to use the resources I already have and try to buy less. For cooking, this means making at last one recipe from every section of my cookbooks. For crafting, this means choosing at least one project from all of my craft and sewing books. I thought a blog would be a fun way for me to keep track of all my progress and will help keep me accountable.
So far my recipes are winning. I just finished going through all my craft books and marking down the projects I want to complete. I haven’t started any of them yet. I still have to figure out what to do with my unfinished projects, so that they get done too.
I’ve made two new recipes so far and will post them later. Have fun following along!
