Motivation is a funny thing. I love to craft but sometimes you need a break from even the things you love doing, not just the dishes. Last week I wasn't feeling well and crafting was at the bottom of the to do list. I took this time to remember why I am doing this challenge. It wasn't to make a craft every single day. It was to use what I have and stop spending my free time at the stores buying more. So I am reflecting on what I want to get out of the next year.
- Complete projects
- Don't buy supplies for more/new projects
- Get craft room organized
Even though I was taking a bit of a break, I did still keep working. I have a quilt I have almost completed. I feel as though instead of creating and completing big projects like quilts, I was spending any free time trying to rush and finish little daily projects that aren't high on my priority list.
I am taking the advice of one of my friends and I have made a jar to save up money for when I am 365 days complete. (303 more days to go!) By the end of the year I should have at least 365 dollars to spend on crafts, a dollar for every day I didn't buy new supplies. This way I won't feel guilty when I go on a craft supply binge. Hopefully I will feel proud of my accomplishment.
My jar to save money in. Pretty cheesy but I didn't need anything fancy!
