(via)i have been inspired to create things lately, although it never seems like i have enough time. currently i am working on a few projects and i have all these ideas in my head for more.
one thing i am doing is trying to sketch more, but it's discouraging because i am never very happy with what i draw. it takes practice, but even when i used to do it all the time i was never great. i hope i can improve.
i am working on a patchwork quilt that i am convienced i'll never finish. i have been working on it since middleschool, definitely not daily or even monthly, but it's been over 10 years!
i am making a michael jackson zombie cross stitch wall hanging that is moving along nicely. i think i will finish this in a couple of weeks at least. i am very motivated to finish this because it's so cute!
i'm trying to alter a dress but it's so annoying to bring out the sewing machine so i've been putting this one off. it's a cute summer dress but i doubt it will still be summer by the time i'm actually able to wear it. maybe summer 2011. i miss having my own place where my sewing machine can sit out, set up and ready to go.
stevie is trying to buy a condo and the plan is for me to move in with her. i think that would be awesome. we both love making stuff so i'm sure we will have a huge area to paint, draw, sew, knit, crochet, whatever! i can't wait.
paint. that's another project. i painted a picture in about a week and it's just not right. i know it needs a lot more work, so hopefully i can get to that soon.
i finished sewing this skirt tonight! it took me a long time because i first sewed it without the lace layer. then when i tried it on i realized it was completely see through! i added in the lace lining and i'm really glad i took the time to do that. i think it looks really cute and adds on some much needed length.
i can accomplish so much more when i skip softball games ;)
