25 days and counting

written by Jen on Tuesday, April 3, 2007No Comment

Do you remember, back on the 12th of March that I said that I would write a blog entry every day for 21 days - to get a habit going…  well I’ve done it.  In fact, today I am up to day 25 and yes, I think this is a habit now. It has been good and I’m going to continue it.

It is funny - sometimes it would get to almost midnight (I always stay up late) and think, “oh no! what have I got for show n tell today?” but I found that there is almost always something of interest from the day, something I have made or bought or something that caught my eye (and my camera’s eye), and certainly there is always something of someone else’s that I can point to.

Knowing that I am going to write a blog post each day means that I have been more likely to ensure that I actually DO something (rather than just meaning to get around to it one day) so that I have something to show.  It’s all about ACTION right now.  And let’s just be honest here, while it’s important to me to have something to show YOU, it’s even more important to me that I do something for ME, to get going and stop dreaming.  You, dear reader are just an excuse and a motivational factor.  Don’t take it personally - it’s a WIN WIN situation.  I get the (perceived) kick in the bum to make more nice things and you get to come along for the ride.

fabric stash

I have a massive pile of fabric - some of it has sat there for many many many months, some of it I love so much I don’t want to use (what is up with that?) and I need to get real.  And make it real. And really make it.  And stuff like that…

So I am going to continue to blog daily (or very nearly almost, no guilt here!) and I am going to make more stuff and more creative stuff and use up those beautiful pieces of fabric I have spent good money on!

So, I guess I’ll be talking to you tomorrow!  :)
