I am going to start practicing non consumerism again. Mostly because somehow I ended up with more stuff. I won't need to buy shampoo, conditioner or soap for a little while (grandma brought me a nice bag full of hotel goodies). Plus we got a few new kitchen gadgets for Christmas and I have no where to put them. I will be selling and/or giving away some of my things on Craigslist starting this weekend. Doing so will relieve stress of a cluttered home and hopefully get me some money to help with my much needed eye exam and glasses, not to mention the dental work I need (an upcoming blog).
I will also be using some of the items to recycle or upcycle. I follow a few blogs that show how to do some cool stuff with what you may already have at home. This is where my February & April 30 Day Challenges will come in handy. I will be using old clothes and bedding to make stuff for my sewing challenge. I will use some of my old books to make paper crafts that I have been wanting to try for my upcoming art challenge in April. I want to try a few things but not overwhelm myself. We'll see what happens.
Upcoming Projects:
- Scrap Quilt - An unfinished project
- Canvas style bags
- Pillows
- Stuffed Animals or something small. *Possible give away item?*
I have some patterns already, I just need to finish my craft room. I think my sewing machine needs to be serviced, but I don't know how much it will cost. I'll have to call Delta Vacuum and Sewing Center Inc and see. My grandmother gave it to me and had it serviced a while back, but ended up not using it. So I guess that's it for now. I still have a lot of planning to do.
